Available on selected <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vax.co.uk\/carpet-cleaners-and-washers\/maxclean-carpet-cleaner-range\">MAXClean carpet cleaners<\/a>, StainShot Technology gives you extra cleaning power for tougher stains at the touch of a button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what exactly is StainShot Technology, how does it work and when should you use it? Here\u2019s everything you need to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">what is StainShot Technology?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>StainShot Technology is our new dedicated stain-cleaning technology, designed to give you extra cleaning power when you\u2019re battling tougher, dried-in or old carpet stains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MAXClean StainShot models have three cleaning modes: Auto for everyday carpet cleaning, StainShot for more challenging stains, and Dry Only to help get your carpets dry again quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you select StainShot mode, the machine combines enhanced cleaning performance with a dedicated StainShot solution to target areas that need some extra attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The result? StainShot mode delivers 30% more cleaning power+ compared with Auto mode, helping you tackle tough stains as part of your carpet clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Was Stainshot Technology Developed?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>StainShot Technology forms part of the latest generation of MAXClean carpet cleaners. The range has been designed around making deep carpet cleaning easier, combining powerful extraction with features including Motion Sense Technology, an onboard hose and different cleaning modes for different jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On selected models, StainShot takes that idea a step further by giving you a dedicated option for challenging stains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rather than relying on the same cleaning mode for every part of your carpet, StainShot gives you additional cleaning performance exactly where you need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">how does stainshot technology work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>StainShot brings together the cleaning action of the MAXClean carpet cleaner and two complementary cleaning solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For your main carpet clean, MAXClean uses <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vax.co.uk\/platinum-ultimate-deep-clean-1-5l-solution\">Platinum Ultimate Carpet Cleaning Solution<\/a>. StainShot models also have a dedicated reservoir for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vax.co.uk\/stainshot-oxy-carpet-cleaning-solution-1l\">StainShot Oxy Solution<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When StainShot mode is activated, these high-performance solutions work together to deliver additional stain-cleaning performance.The dual-action solution system provides up to double the stain-eliminating power* compared with using VAX Platinum Ultimate Carpet Cleaner Solution alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also delivers 8X Scent Boost Technology** compared with VAX Original Solution, for a freshness boost that lasts up to 72 hours**, so you get targeted stain cleaning and a freshness boost at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"804\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vax.co.uk\/cleaning-hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/VAX_StainShot-Helix_on-bench-fabric888888-1024x804.jpg\" alt=\"Graphic showing how StainShot Technology penetrates carpet fibres\" class=\"wp-image-1561\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:1000px;height:500px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vax.co.uk\/cleaning-hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/VAX_StainShot-Helix_on-bench-fabric888888-1024x804.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.vax.co.uk\/cleaning-hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/VAX_StainShot-Helix_on-bench-fabric888888-300x235.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.vax.co.uk\/cleaning-hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/VAX_StainShot-Helix_on-bench-fabric888888-768x603.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.vax.co.uk\/cleaning-hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/VAX_StainShot-Helix_on-bench-fabric888888-1536x1205.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.vax.co.uk\/cleaning-hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/VAX_StainShot-Helix_on-bench-fabric888888.jpg 1728w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">what are the benefits of stainshot technology?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest advantage is that you have a more powerful cleaning option available when your everyday carpet clean encounters a stubborn stain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>StainShot mode gives you 30% more cleaning power+ compared with Auto mode, while its dual-action solutions provide up to double the stain-eliminating power* compared with Platinum Ultimate Carpet Cleaner Solution alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also means stain cleaning is integrated into the MAXClean system. You can use Auto mode for your everyday deep clean and switch to StainShot when you reach an area that needs more attention. And because StainShot is part of the wider MAXClean system, you still get the other benefits of MAXClean, including Motion Sense Technology and powerful extraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">what types of stains can i use stainshot on?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>StainShot Technology is designed for tougher and more challenging stains on carpets \u2013 and the visible, high-traffic areas where you want additional cleaning power beyond your everyday Auto clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That makes it particularly useful in busy homes and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vax.co.uk\/cleaning-hub\/cleaning-tips-for-pet-owners\/\">homes with pets<\/a>, where carpets can face everything from everyday dirt and spills to muddy footprints and pet-related mess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As with any carpet-cleaning product, always follow your carpet manufacturer&#8217;s care instructions and the instructions supplied with your VAX carpet cleaner and cleaning solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For an unfamiliar carpet or material, test in a small, inconspicuous area first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">how do i use StainShot Technology?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Fill the machine with water and the recommended VAX cleaning solutions according to your product&#8217;s instructions. Make sure the dedicated StainShot reservoir contains the appropriate StainShot solution.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use <strong>Auto mode<\/strong> for your everyday carpet cleaning.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When you reach a tougher stain that needs additional attention, select <strong>StainShot mode<\/strong>. This gives you the extra cleaning performance and dual-action solution system designed for more challenging areas.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once you&#8217;ve finished washing, you can use <strong>Dry Only mode<\/strong> to continue extracting moisture from the carpet. With MAXClean&#8217;s powerful extraction, carpets can be dry in as little as 30 minutes.\u2020<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">which vax carpet cleaners have stainshot technology? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>StainShot Technology is available on selected models in the VAX MAXClean range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vax.co.uk\/vax-max-clean-stainshot-pet-design-carpet-cleaner\">MAXClean StainShot Pet Carpet Cleaner<\/a> includes StainShot Technology alongside a 2-in-1 Antimicrobial Tool and SpinScrub Tool, making it particularly suited to homes where stubborn stains are a priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vax.co.uk\/vax-max-clean-stainshot-pet-design-carpet-cleaner\">MAXClean StainShot Pet-Design Carpet Cleaner<\/a> also features StainShot Technology and adds a dedicated Pet Tool alongside its 2-in-1 Antimicrobial Tool and SpinScrub Tool &#8211; giving busy pet homes an even more comprehensive cleaning tool set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other MAXClean models have dedicated Spot Mode rather than StainShot Technology, so check the individual product specification when choosing your machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"673\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vax.co.uk\/cleaning-hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/VAX_MaxClean_StainShot-Pet-SpinScrub-Tool-on-stairs_SKU34444444444444444-1024x673.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1563\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:1000px;height:500px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vax.co.uk\/cleaning-hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/VAX_MaxClean_StainShot-Pet-SpinScrub-Tool-on-stairs_SKU34444444444444444-1024x673.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.vax.co.uk\/cleaning-hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/VAX_MaxClean_StainShot-Pet-SpinScrub-Tool-on-stairs_SKU34444444444444444-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.vax.co.uk\/cleaning-hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/VAX_MaxClean_StainShot-Pet-SpinScrub-Tool-on-stairs_SKU34444444444444444-768x505.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.vax.co.uk\/cleaning-hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/VAX_MaxClean_StainShot-Pet-SpinScrub-Tool-on-stairs_SKU34444444444444444-1536x1010.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.vax.co.uk\/cleaning-hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/VAX_MaxClean_StainShot-Pet-SpinScrub-Tool-on-stairs_SKU34444444444444444-2048x1347.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">stainshot technology faqS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">WHAT&#8217;S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SPOT MODE AND STAINSHOT TECHNOLOGY?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Both are designed to help when a particular area needs extra attention, but they aren&#8217;t the same feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MAXClean Home and MAXClean Pet use Spot Mode for set-in stains and high-traffic areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Selected MAXClean StainShot models replace Spot Mode with the more advanced StainShot Technology, delivering 30% more cleaning power+ than Auto mode and working with the dual-action solution system for tougher stains. If stain removal is one of your biggest carpet-cleaning priorities, look for a MAXClean model specifically featuring StainShot Technology<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">HOW OFTEN CAN I USE STAINSHOT ON A TOUGH STAIN?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>StainShot mode is there for those tougher areas that require more cleaning attention rather than as a replacement for your normal Auto clean. How much treatment an individual stain needs can depend on factors such as what caused the stain, how long it has been there and the carpet itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow the operating instructions for your MAXClean StainShot model rather than repeatedly treating an area beyond the recommended cleaning procedure. Avoid oversaturating the carpet, and always follow the carpet manufacturer&#8217;s care instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">WILL STAINSHOT TECHNOLOGY DAMAGE MY CARPET?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>StainShot Technology is designed specifically for carpet cleaning when used with the compatible MAXClean machine, recommended VAX solutions and according to the product instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, carpets and fibres can vary, so you should always check your carpet manufacturer&#8217;s cleaning guidance before wet cleaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re unsure whether a carpet is suitable, test the cleaning solution on a small, hidden area first and check the result before cleaning a larger visible section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should also avoid oversaturating the carpet and use your MAXClean according to its instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Claims<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>+ Cleaning effectiveness tested in StainShot mode compared with Auto mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>* Versus using VAX Platinum Ultimate Carpet Cleaner Solution alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>** Versus VAX Original Solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2020 When using Dry Only mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spills, everyday dirt and accidental messes are part of life, but some marks need more than an everyday carpet clean.
