Following a spill on your carpet, you can actually do more damage control than you think. The SpotVac Sub-Surface Extractor is an innovative home appliance that is powerful enough to suction the liquids that have already begun to travel through the layers of your flooring.

One of the brilliant features of this invention is that you can connect it directly as an alternate head to your existing [wet-dry vacuum cleaner](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shark-everymess). Before you begin to tackle a freshly made stain, pour some SpotVac solution onto the soiled patch to the point of saturation and then place the SpotVac over top. When the mechanism gets going, you'll witness speedy swirling of fluid under the [transparent surface](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bissell-cleanview-swivel-pet-reach) as the [steam cleaner alternative](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tineco-floor-one-s9-artist-steam) draws liquid, color and odor out of your rug.
