Like any devoted pet parent, I believe that my dog is perfect. She’s the most flawless princess that has ever walked this planet, and there isn’t a thing about her I would change. But then comes reality — every single pet, no matter how “perfect” they are, is prone to making messes. Even the best house-trained pet has an accident from time to time, they’re prone to occasional sick tummies, and they might shed like nobody’s business.

That’s why it’s essential to be prepared for those unavoidable, less-than-perfect moments that pet parents know all too well. Here is where the Shark CarpetXpert HairPro Upright Carpet Cleaner w/ StainStriker comes in. It’s a powerful cleaning dynamo that’ll handle everything your pet throws at you.

What Is the Shark CarpetXpert HairPro Upright Carpet Cleaner w/ StainStriker?

Shark is a super-trusted brand, and for good reason. Their vacuums and carpet cleaners tend to be quite effective, and the Shark CarpetXpert HairPro Upright Carpet Cleaner w/ StainStriker is no exception. This model is geared toward those furry friends in our lives. It attacks accidents with ease, and it even deals with the fur that inevitably collects in carpet fibers too.

It’s outfitted with a carpet cleaner and a wide variety of tools, like a crevice tool, a tool to pick up dry clumps of hair, another made specifically for “pet messes,” a bristle tool, and it also comes with OXY cleaning formula.

Additionally, it’s specially designed so all that hair won’t wrap around the mechanisms inside, which can be a real headache.

Other bonuses? There’s a detachable hand vac (to pick up those hair tumbleweeds hiding in the corners), and it’s pretty lightweight at less than 25 pounds.

What QVC Reviewers Are Saying

Rating: 4.4/5

“LOOOOVE this carpet cleaner! Easy assembly. Suction is super strong and the hair basket/capture works terrifically! The spot striker has various attachments that fit pretty much every space I have tried. The solution/cleaner smells fresh and not too fragrant, dries fast! Have been using quite often as we get ready for Thanksgiving!”—Gigi from LEX

Great device for cleaning carpets. The solution smells great and dries quickly. I could definitely see the difference in my rugs. I had them professionally cleaned and still removed hair/dirt with the Shark. The water was black which tells me that I needed to purchase this to deep clean more often. Very easy to use and I’m happy with the results.” —Linzspeed

“I’ve had many carpet cleaners. This Shark cleaner was easy to use, absolutely no pet hair clumps left behind, carpet looks amazing. Love the self cleaning for hose. Easy to take pieces apart for cleaning up after. I would buy this again and highly recommend.” —JustinePA

With a corgi, I’m constantly fighting the war against shedding, and even though she’s the best dog in the whole world, we do deal with an occasional mess here and there (sorry, Dolly!). But I’m thinking we might win a whole lot more battles with the help of the Shark CarpetXpert HairPro Upright Carpet Cleaner w/ StainStriker.
