Description
Traditional cleaning methods will clean the surface of your carpet, but won’t reach the real cause of odors and reappearing spots — your carpet padding. Carpet padding is the true source of odor, and reappearing spots and can only be reached with a sub-surface extraction tool like the SOS Tool or SOS PRO. PART# 71-001
What is Sub Surface Extraction?
Sub Surface Extraction is used by professional carpet cleaners to thoroughly remove contaminants, liquids, and odors that have soaked into carpet padding and upholstery. Short of removing carpet, sub surface extraction is the best method for flushing out the true cause of odors and reappearing spots. Click here to download a printable information guide.
Using the StainOut System
STEP 1: Saturate the affected areas with Smiley Paws, a professional grade strength Urine, Odor, and Stain remover. Allow the cleaning solution to seep deep into the carpet’s backing, padding, and subfloor, in order to target the entire odor source. The solution will work to rehydrate, emulsify, and break down organic soil and pet urine solids in preparation for extraction and rinsing.
STEP 2: Finish by using the the SOS Tool with an extractor, truck mount, or wet-and-dry vacuum to flush out the solution and contaminants from the carpet.
What type of wet-and-dry vacuum can I use with the SOS Tool?
The SOS Sub Surface Extraction Tool has been designed to fit any standard wet-and-dry vacuum, carpet extractor, or truck mount with either 1.25”, 1.5”, and 2” hoses.
This tool works even better when teamed up with a UV light to urine and protein stains and Smiley Paws urine cleaner.

I’ve recently started using this little gem and I like it a lot. Well thought out and has worked very well. Great for smaller sub-surface extractions and set up already for multiple vacuum hoses to attach. Quick and easy to grab for an extraction. I’ve always used my medium deluxe water claw before, but I’ll be using this a lot more in the future.
