The Portable Spot Cleaner saves you the grief of soaking, scrubbing and rewashing your clothes, making it especially ideal for toting on business trips.

Designer Adrian Mankovecky was named a finalist in the Electrolux Design Lab 2011 for this invention, due no doubt to its innovative application and and expertly rendered computer models. Admiring consumers can easily picture how they would go about using such an intuitive device. One simply places it atop a smear or a splatter, selects the offending substance and allows the Portable Spot Cleaner to do its job by employing negative ions and steam, powered by a sugar crystal battery.
