The SOS Sub Surface Extraction Hand Tool allows for targeted airflow to the pad and backing beneath the carpet to extract contaminants, odours, and liquids, such as pet urine, feces, vomit, and more. The SOS Tool works in conjunction with our Smiley Paws Urine, Stain, and Odour Remover to create the StainOut System. The SOS Tool uses a process called sub-surface extraction. Sub Surface Extraction is used by professional carpet cleaners to thoroughly remove contaminants, liquids, and odours 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 odours and reappearing spots. The SOS Tool by StainOut System is Patent Pending. Description Traditional cleaning methods will clean the surface of your carpet, but won’t reach the real cause of odours and reappearing spots — your carpet padding. Carpet padding is the true source of odour, 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?
