    Turn “Oh no! Not on the carpet!” to “Oh, that’s okay!”

    By metropolitanmama | July 13, 2008

    If you have a carpet and you have little kids, you are bound to end up with lots of little spots and stains. From juice box drips to pizza sauce splatters to smeared chocolate to potty training accidents, there’s almost no way to avoid the little “oops!” and “uh-oh”’s and “sorry”’s that happen with little ones in the house. 

    For those moments, it sure is nice to have a mini carpet cleaner around. We have the Dirt Devil Spot Scrubber Power Reach ($45.00) and it is powerful, easy-to-use, and quite efficient. 

    Check out these features:

    My husband carried this around our house right when we received it and scrubbed at the various little circles and spots that have accumulated in our bedrooms, courtesy of our very sweet (but sometimes very sticky) almost-2-year-old daughter. He was very impressed and has since brought it out to show to our friends (and to highly recommend it). 

    The Dirt Devil Spot Scrubber Power Reach can be purchased online on the Dirt Devil site or at Target for $45.00.

    WIN IT! One winner will receive a Dirt Devil Spot Scrubber Power Reach. To enter, leave a comment on this post prior to Monday, July 21 at midnight (don’t forget to follow the rules). * Winner must provide a U.S. mailing address.  

    *UPDATE* The winner is #394 Rhonda. Congratulations!

      We have a hand-held steam cleaner, but no scrubbies, no retractable cord, and it’s too heavy and awkward to use for everyday life. Your review of this little gadget sounds wonderful! The way our carpet and upholstery looks (scary, truthfully!), I’d really love to win it!

      I would love to win this great product to help around the house! I would love to win, too, because it is my birthday the day after your contest ends!

      Thanks for the great giveaway!

      Brilliant–all mamas could use a carpet spot scrubber if you ask me. :)

      I can’t tell you how many times I’ve wished I had one of these. We have a steam cleaner, but it’s so cumbersome and such a process to use that it seems silly to get it out for just a small spot or two. So instead those spots just don’t get cleaned up as well as they should. Between a dog and a toddler, we have our share of spots.

      oh my gosh, how awesome. my carpet looks like a car ran over it. we have a carpet cleaner but it leaks and it doesn’t work very well. i’d love to try this

    7. misty Says:
      July 13th, 2008 at 11:07 pm

      I have a toddler, so you can just imagine how badly I need this. But I was also a fool, and bought white carpet for my bedroom, and green for my living room. Yeah… clearly, I wasn’t thinking at the time… Thanks so much for the opportunity.

    8. Michelle Says:
      July 14th, 2008 at 2:46 am

      I have had my eye on this for a little while but haven’t been able to decide if it is a “luxary purchase” or something we would really use a lot after the first time. I would love to win it and not have to decide.

    9. Tonya Keener Says:
      July 14th, 2008 at 3:16 am

      I need this something awful. My vaccum died a year ago and as a single mom I can’t afford another one and to make matters worse I was laid off from my job a month ago. Please send this to me please please please

      The Dirt Devil Spot Scrubber Power Reach looks like a great tool to have on hand at all times. I’m a granny to 2 precious little girls and they can make big messes.So my home definantly needs the power of a Dirt Devil.

    11. rebecca Says:
      July 14th, 2008 at 3:24 am

      just the right size to pull out for those little dog and kid messes.

    12. Michael Paul Says:

      Just the thing I need for the entranceways…

      I have a lot of wood flooring in my house but have three big rugs that we brought back from our India trip several years ago. I would love the Dirt Deveil Spot Scrubber for these rugs, combating not only my daughter’s sticky hand antics, but also the dog and cat! Maybe include my husband in that……

    14. BR Says:
      July 14th, 2008 at 3:56 am

      We don’t have wall-to-wall, but the area rugs in the kids rooms certainly have more spots than I would like - this product looks great!

    15. Linda D. Says:
      July 14th, 2008 at 3:58 am

      This would be soooo much better than my current method, which is scrubbing and then staring at the remaining spot every day.

    16. JO FULLER Says:
      July 14th, 2008 at 4:07 am

      Looks lightweight and easy to manage. Would love this.

    17. Meredith Peters Says:
      July 14th, 2008 at 4:17 am

      My daughter just bought a house with white carpet. I imagine this could be used about every 5 minutes with 2 kids!

      July 14th, 2008 at 4:51 am

      I could soooooo use this nifty little item. With a 2 year old that thinks everywhere is a place to eat, I need something powerful to clean up behind my little piggy.

    22. Rachel Says:
      July 14th, 2008 at 5:04 am

      Ooh, I could really use this (but then again, who doesn’t have stains in their house?!). I’ve got this tricky stain on the carpet, right here in the office, and I can’t quite get it out. I’d also love to try it on my sofas when the dog stains them…cut paws, muddy messes, yuck! Thanks!

    23. Peter Says:
      July 14th, 2008 at 5:07 am

      This is exactly what I need to keep everything clean and get rid of stains that have over stayed their welcome.

    24. shelley Says:
      July 14th, 2008 at 5:09 am

      With a new puppy this would come in really handy. I hope I win. Thanks so much!!

      As a homeowner with a dog, two cats, and a six year old son having a heavy duty spot remover handy would be a Godsend. We only have one carpeted room in the house and I really don’t want to replace it until our son is more grown up. Something like this would help to keep it from looking so dingy.

      Thanks so much!

      July 14th, 2008 at 5:23 am

      I NEED to get my hands on one of those! I’m starting the adventures of potty training this week and I can just imagine all the accidents that I’ll have to clean up! ahhh! Plus, everything else a 2 year old spills too!

    28. Heather Says:
      July 14th, 2008 at 5:33 am

      I would love this! We have spots all over the place, not because my daughter is messy, but because my husband seems to spill stuff everywhere!

    29. Linda White Says:
      July 14th, 2008 at 5:40 am

      That’s so cute about your husband showing the carpet cleaner off to his friends! Sounds like something my husband would do!! :) I’d love to win this one! Coincidentally, my daughter just spilled a whole glass of cotton candy milk all over my carpet yesterday!

      Awesome giveaway. Any time you have toddlers around for any period of time it seems you find spots. This would be great to have. Thank you.

    45. Jenn S. Says:

      We need one of these, we have carpet under our dining room table and little mishaps happen.

      I would love to win this. I have 2 English Mastiffs and my couch looks like it’s wearing a fur coat.

    47. Jennifer C. Says:
      July 14th, 2008 at 7:20 am

      I love that it has the reach hose/head now. I had one several years ago and it was a little cumbersome to get to smaller areas. I have a Little Green Machine but that is a pain to get out for a small mess where this would be perfect.

    51. Dianne Says:
      July 14th, 2008 at 7:31 am

      Dad’s dog is not well! Has accidents all the time and he’s getting frustrated. He’s 94 1/2 and can’t really maneuver the large carpet steamer. This would be good for him - it is only a small dog.

    52. Sarah T. Says:
      July 14th, 2008 at 7:33 am

      This does look super handy. I have a little, basic dust buster that I whip out daily (if not multiple times a day) for all the little spills & messes around the house. But I love the idea of something that would also handle stains!

    53. McKim Says:
      July 14th, 2008 at 7:42 am

      This would be great to have with the new puppy messes!

    54. Christine Says:
      July 14th, 2008 at 7:49 am

      This would be wonderful for us. Our dog is a senior citizen now and makes a little mess once in a while. Thank you so much!

    55. Sierra Says:
      July 14th, 2008 at 7:52 am

      We have SO many stains and I end up trying to hand scrub them each time. It would be great to have a tool that I could take care of these dirty spots. Thanks!

    62. Layla Says:
      July 14th, 2008 at 8:13 am

      Ooooh, we could really use one of these at our house. I have 2 kids under age 5, a dog, a cat, and a messy husband. And almost ALL of our house is carpeted. I’m sure it would get lots of use. It sounds like a great product.

    63. Mya Brooks Says:
      July 14th, 2008 at 8:15 am

      Wow, with all the pets we have and the messes they all make, I sooooo NEED this!

    67. Heather Turner Says:
      July 14th, 2008 at 8:21 am

      I am starting to babysit kids now and it would be great to have. I have four kids ages newborn to 3 and three out of the four are boys. The newborn is a girl. It can get pretty messy around here with the boys and this would be great to have handy. Plus, it’s not really big and bulky so it is great for our townhome. Thank you for the giveaway!

    68. Mama C Says:
      July 14th, 2008 at 8:22 am

      Just spent all Saturday trying to clean spots on carpet in 1 room! What a great idea to have a little one so you don’t have to drag out the one that weighs 150 pounds!

    69. Jane van SC Says:
      July 14th, 2008 at 8:23 am

      perfect for apartment clean ups! I have a really hard time getting out the canister vaccum every time there’s a spot. I would like to win this, but if not, I’m headed to my dept. store to look at this Dirt Devil!

    70. Lachelle Says:
      July 14th, 2008 at 8:25 am

      Considering hubby and I spill just as much as our daughter - we could use this! I think it would work for my car too. Would love it! Thanks.

    71. Shannon B. Says:
      July 14th, 2008 at 8:30 am

      Between 2 messy sons, a messy husband, and a new puppy I am in dire need of this spot scrubber. Thanks for the opportunity!

    72. Go Amie Says:
      July 14th, 2008 at 8:45 am

      This would be perfect - I am used to pulling out a cleaning product and then applying some serious elbow grease to the spots that turn up (and they do turn up!) but this would make things so much easier. I think it would be especially useful for carpeted stairs, which seem to attract stains at a terrible rate!

    73. Colleen Says:
      July 14th, 2008 at 8:46 am

      Three active children and two dogs (one being a puppy)in the house –this is something we could really use. Thanks for the contest!

    76. Angela H Says:
      July 14th, 2008 at 9:15 am

      This would be a life saver! I have a 5 year old daughter and it seems that pretty much everything I give her somehow ends up on the floor. I also have 4 cats that like to get my carpet all dirty from their paws. Thanks for a great contest!

      July 14th, 2008 at 9:21 am

      Thank you for all of the wonderful contests! This contest is especially important to me. Why? Dirt Devil products have always been my favorite because they always do the job, never leave any sign of “the mess”, they are lightweight and easy to carry throughout the house. I would use the Dirt Devil Spot Scrubber Power Reach in my Family Room (mostly) because it has carpeting, and we have 3 small dogs. Our oldest dog, Muffin, is eleven, a cute Shih-Tzu who has recently developed congestive heart failure. She takes a diuretic and heart medication everyday. Muffin never had accidents before beginning the meds. But, at her age and the medication working…she occasionally has unavoidable accidents. The Dirt Devil Spot Scrubber Power Reach would be a welcome addition to my collection of cleaning supplies, as I’m sure it would not leave any tell-tale signs of Muffin’s “accidents.” My Family Room carpet would remain clean and fresh!

    79. Kimberly Cook Says:

      I’d love to win this. With 2 girls, even though they are a little older, still manage to spill things! Plus, my husband and I manage to have our fair share of spills! :o) This would be great to pull out and use, as it looks quite easy to handle! Great giveaway!

      I could really use this!! My daughter is always spilling her drinks on the carpet. I’m not one to enforce a drinks in the kitchen only rule, especially since our only table is in the carpeted dining room.

      Very cool little gadget. Just spent the last half hour taking apart my fancy vacum (?) sorry about the spelling to clean all the small spots in my house. A dirt devil would be very convenient.

    94. PATTI M Says:

      I love that this has a stretch hose. It never fails to amaze me the places that can get spills, sticky finger prints, sticky paw prints, and mystery stains. This sounds like a great machine!

      Our downstairs carpet was so bad we finally ripped it out and put in laminate floors. Upstairs is pretty bad. Wonder if this gadget works on old stains? lol

      I bet this little gizmo would also be great for small pet messes. My carpet has many of these little spots that could use additional attention.

      Ok.. Your husband sounds soooo cool! I need someone around the house that likes to try out new things and clean. (Other than me.. I think I’m becoming OCD about it, I can’t go to bed at night if things aren’t tidy. I don’t need to dust, but I MUST tidy up.)

      I have 6 kids, one dog, two doves and countless friends. I need this just for my sanity. Luckily we got deep green carpets in the main rooms in the house (that we don’t have hard flooring in) but it would be nice to help the rugs we have and some of the drinks that spill around coffee tables, etc.

      Such a great item… How in the world do you get all of these great toys? I wanna join your network! (but then I might become more of a clean freak LOL)
      Does UPS hate you as much as mine hates me??

      July 14th, 2008 at 12:46 pm

      Unfortunately these cute and handy little devices just encourage people who know nothing about carpet cleaning to SET in stains so they can NEVER be properly cleaned.

      Hint #1: A stain/spot should NEVER be scrubbed! Stains should be blotted with a clean white cloth usually moistened with whatever solution (water, white vinegar…etc.) best suits the stain/spot being addressed. This information comes straight from the carpet manufacturers! Scrubbing violates the carpet and stain guard warranty.

      As a professional carpet cleaner I often encounter the results = set stains, carpets that have for all practical purposes been bleached, dyed or had irrevocable damage done to the fibers. Of course folks then expect me to correct their mistake; often a year or more after they made it…you get the picture.

    121. Courtney Says:
      July 14th, 2008 at 12:47 pm

      July 14th, 2008 at 12:47 pm

      We have a few of those “mystery spots” around our house too! They just seem to appear out of thin air. Every time I mention renting a cleaner, my husband says we should wait ’til we have more spots to make the money and effort worthwhile. I can see how handy it would be to be able to whip out this little gem and bid ‘adios’ to the mystery spots.

      I love this! A friend of mine has one that look similar but bigger and I’ve borrowed it from her a couple of times. It worked really well. We do have lots of little spots here and there and I suspect that there will only be more as time goes on. I’m sure I could put this to good use, probably too much use!

      This would certainly be a blessing around our house. Lil Sugar is starting to spill things, throw her food and generally make a mess of our carpet. It wasn’t our idea to have carpet in the dining room but we do and haven’t been able to replace it - this would help us keep it looking better!

      with 2 kids, 2 dogs and genetic clumsiness, there are stains in my carpet. I was looking at this at target a few months back.

      Over the years, carpet cleaning has gotten better and better. I’m so glad there is a lightweight, small scrubber that takes up little space and makes the chore easy enough to take care of it right away. My main spills now come from grandchildren, and I want to be able to say “that’s OK, we’ll take care of it” without dreading the job.
