I’ve had pets in my house since I was a little kid, so I know firsthand how messy they can be. Our four-legged friends can stain carpets and furniture really quickly, and sometimes a cloth and spray aren’t enough to get those deeply embedded spots out.

As a cat owner, I know that having a carpet cleaner is a lifesaver, and I’ve found 11 carpet cleaners on Amazon that are great for getting stains out quickly and easy.

  1. My cat has made one too many messes on my carpet, and every time it happens I pull out this handy dandy Bissell Little Green Machine. It’s not heavy or bulky, so it’s perfect for small spaces and has a powerful suction that gets up even the toughest of stains and odors.
  1. This Bissell Big Green Machine is another one of my favorites. I use this whenever my cat makes a mess before I’m hosting for a holiday and it works like a charm every time. From pet hair to dirt to coffee stains, it’s removed every speck of dirt and stains from my carpet.
  1. If you have a little bit more space in your home, go with this Bissell TurboClean Upright Carpet Cleaner. It’s compact enough to fit in a closet and has a four-row deep reach powerbrush that removes dirt and stains.
  1. Wash away carpet and hardwood flooring stains with this Bissell Crosswave Turbo Vacuum Mop that allows you to effectively vacuum and mop at the same time.
  1. Vacuum, mop and remove stains hands-free with this iRobot Roomba vacuum and mop combo. Its four-stage cleaning system picks up dirt and debris, and the multi-surface brushes adapt to different floor types.
  2. A more affordable alternative to the Roomba, this automatic robot vacuum cleaner quickly removes dust, dirt and pet stains and gets in those hard to reach areas like under the couch.
  1. For stubborn pet messes, this Hoover Power Scrub Deluxe Carpet Cleaner is tough on stains and gentle on carpets. It’s fast-drying and even has a crevice tool for corners and other hard-to-reach places.
  1. With a 30-minute dry time, you can quickly clean up embedded stains, fur and odors with this Bissell ProHeat 2X Revolution Pet Pro Plus. It includes several attachments, so you can clean everything from your carpets to furniture.

  1. This portable Bissell carpet cleaner is for the pets who make messes everywhere, including car seats, stairs, beds and furniture.
