Red wine on the sofa. A pet accident on the stairs. Coffee in the car. The cordless Shark StainForce sprays, scrubs and extracts the stain away — before it becomes part of the furniture.

Coffee at breakfast, muddy paws at noon, juice at dinner — every home has a stain-maker. StainForce lives in its Grab & Go caddy, charged and loaded, so the cleanup starts the second the spill does. Stains can't hide: carpets, upholstery, stairs, car seats, high chairs, pet beds.
The dual-activated formula saturates the stain, the tool breaks down the particles, and ultra-powerful stain-grabbing suction lifts and locks it all away — with 30× more stain-fighting power than Shark's own Deep Clean Pro formula. No mixing, no measuring.
The formula neutralizes tough odors at the source, including pet urine and smoke — built for pet stains and stain-makers of every size. No perfume cloud, just gone.
Cordless and under 3 lbs in hand, it goes where the stains are: stair carpets, car seats, outdoor cushions. The Grab & Go caddy keeps the sprayer, tools and cleaner together — no measuring, no pre-mixing, no setup.
Pour out the dirty tank in seconds, hit one button, and the self-cleaning cycle rinses the machine — charged and ready for the next emergency.

With two golden retrievers, my carpets take a beating. I bought the Shark StainForce hoping it could handle the occasional muddy paws and stomach upsets. Honestly, I’m blown away. It sucked up a dried mud stain on my beige runner in about two minutes. The suction is incredibly strong for how light the machine is. The only tiny downside is the dirty water tank gets full pretty fast, but it’s so easy to empty that I don't really mind.
I got this specifically to detail my car seats. My sedan has light gray cloth seats that have collected water rings and coffee drips over the last four years. The StainForce lifted stains I thought were permanent. Seeing the color of the water getting sucked into the tank was both disgusting and deeply satisfying. Giving it 4 stars just because the cord could be a couple of feet longer to make reaching the back seats easier.
My toddler spilled a half-full cup of berry juice on our new fabric sectional, and I panicked. My husband ordered this with overnight shipping. We sprayed the formula, let it sit for a minute, and the StainForce literally pulled the red right out of the fabric. You can't even tell where the spill was. It's super compact too, so it fits right under our bathroom sink for storage.
Just got this delivered an hour ago and had to test it out immediately! Unboxing was a breeze, it’s mostly assembled right out of the box. It feels really sturdy but isn't heavy at all. I did a quick test run on a small spot near the front door and it worked perfectly. Can't wait to tackle the carpeted stairs this weekend!
This little machine works miracles on high-traffic areas. I used it on my vintage hallway rug that had turned a dingy gray, and it brought the original colors right back. The scrub brush attachment is really effective at getting deep into the fibers. My only warning is that it sounds like a jet engine taking off! It’s louder than my regular upright vacuum, so definitely don't use it while anyone is sleeping.
I’ve always hated lugging my full-sized carpet cleaner up and down my carpeted stairs. The StainForce is exactly what I needed. It fits perfectly on a single stair tread so it doesn't tip over while you're working. The hose is flexible enough that I can reach the corners where dust and dirt tend to build up. Highly recommend for anyone who needs to deep clean tight spaces.
Fresh spills and set-in stains alike — coffee, wine, mud, food, and pet accidents on carpets, rugs, upholstery, stairs, car interiors and pet beds.
Yes — this is a spot cleaner, not a whole-carpet machine. A typical stain takes a minute or two of spray-scrub-extract, so one charge covers many accidents.
The dual-activated formula neutralizes odors at the source — including pet urine and smoke — rather than perfuming over them.
It comes with a full-size dual-activated solution cartridge and a reusable spray bottle head, with no mixing or measuring. Replacements are standard Shark StainForce refills.
Not at all — pour the dirty tank out in seconds, then run the one-touch self-cleaning cycle and it rinses itself for next time.
