xDeep-clean beneath the surface with Sub Surface Extraction
The StainOut System 71-001 Sub Surface Extraction Tool targets the layer beneath your carpet where padding and backing can quietly trap moisture, soils, and odors. When surface cleaning isn’t enough, this tool helps you reach the true sources of odor and staining while working with your existing cleaning setup. Paired with Smiley Paws, a professional-strength urine, odor, and stain remover, it forms a cohesive system designed for thorough, sub-surface cleaning without removing carpet.
How Sub Surface Extraction works
Sub Surface Extraction is a technique used by professional cleaners to flush contaminants that have soaked into carpet padding and upholstery. The process involves saturating the affected area so the solution penetrates deep into the backing, padding, and even toward the subfloor, then using extraction equipment to carry away the solution and contaminants. This method aims to address odors and reappearing spots at their source, short of removing carpet.
- Short of removing carpet, sub surface extraction targets the true source of odors and reoccurring spots.
- The SOS Tool employs a dedicated sub-surface extraction process.
- Professional cleaners commonly use this approach to thoroughly remove contaminants from padding and upholstery.
- It integrates with our Smiley Paws Urine, Stain, and Odor Remover to create the StainOut System.
- The SOS Tool is Patent Pending.
Real-world use and benefits
In real-world scenarios, the tool can help address odors that linger after surface cleaning, especially when moisture has migrated into padding. Expect more comprehensive cleaning when paired with compatible extraction equipment such as a truck mount or wet-dry vacuum. The combination of deep saturation and sub-surface flushing can complement other treatments by targeting the padding and backing where residues may reside, potentially reducing the chance of quick odor rebound.
- Addresses padding-backed odor sources for a more complete clean.
