Renegade meatballs and coffee spills no longer mean retiring your favorite clothing to the back of your closet¿our powerful stain remover combines ultrasonic energy with a specially formulated Tide? cleaning fluid to eliminate tough fabric stains that other cleaning methods can¿t. According to a consumer study, 67% of households reported an average of over nine stained items per week; this stain remover gets rid of virtually any stain¿from coffee to grass to makeup to motor oil¿that hasn¿t already been set by a washer or dryer, and even some stains that have been set by washing and drying. A tough ABS plastic wand spot-drops the powerful Tide cleaning formula onto stains; then, a simple wipe across the stain sends penetrating sound waves th rough the fabric. The ultrasonic waves create bubble implosions that pump cleaning formula deep into material fibers. The stain loosens and literally falls out of the fabric onto a catch-pad (included). When followed by a regular machine washing, the sonic stain-removing process makes fabrics look like new. Safe for use on most fabrics, the unit has three settings (natural, synthetic, delicate) and a guide to help you select the proper mode. ABS plastic storing base can be placed on a table or countertop, or can be mounted to the wall. Cleaning wand cord is 5¿ long. The 10 oz. cartridge can remove up to 50 average-sized stains; two easy-to-replace cartridges and 15 stain-catching pads included (more sold separately). Plugs into AC. UL listed. 11 3/4¿ L x 9 1/2¿ W x 12 1/4¿ H. (2 1/2 lbs.)
