Got a nasty stain you need to remove from your carpet? We’ve tested most of the carpet stain removers on the market to tell you which ones:

  • remove five common stains – red wine, sauce, coffee, oil/dirt and foundation – most effectively
  • are best for either embedded stains, spot stains, or both
  • are good value for money.

We’ve also partnered with Shop Ethical on this update to show the ratings the Ethical Consumer Group gives to each company.
