“One of my favorite features on the PowerClean® FurGuard™ stick vac is the quick-release foot pedal. It makes switching to the extension tool seamless – perfect for reaching tight corners and tricky spaces.”
– Joe Perry, Director – Engineering
"My go-to cleaning ‘hack’? Vacuuming with the lights off! The headlights on the PowerClean® FurFinder™ stick vac reveal all the hidden dirt and debris I’d otherwise miss. It’s incredibly satisfying to see just how much cleaner your floors really are."
– Ryan Phillips, Brand Manager
“If you’re cleaning a stain, get to it as quickly as possible before it has time to set in. Additionally, clean an area at least 5 times larger than the stain you see. Liquids tend to spread when they hit a surface, and you want to remove all of the mess!”
– Jim Pell, Senior Chemist – Consumables Development
“The Little Green® Max Pet Carpet Cleaner has been a lifesaver for cleaning up formula spills from our 10-month-old. Its powerful suction paired with our Oxy cleaning solution gives me peace of mind that the mess is truly gone – and her play space stays safe and odor-free.”
– Tanner Henley, Lead Test Engineer
"Families today are more mindful of the fragrances they bring into their homes and for those with sensitivities, grabbing just any formula off the shelf isn’t an option. No one should have to choose between a clean home and their comfort. That’s why I am loving our new Free and Clear formulas, so everyone can enjoy a deep clean without the worry.”
– Rielle Kerr, Marketing Brand Specialist
“I use our spot and stain cleaners as a laundry pre-treat for kids’ clothing, especially great for blood, grass stains, juice and chocolate. You literally see the stain disappear before your eyes. With an INSTAclean® formula or PET PRO OXY Stain Destroyer, even the toughest stains don’t stand a chance – just spray the stain, let it set for a few minutes and repeat if needed, then throw in the wash. This product is a must-have for any parent.”
– Leslie Wurm, Associate Director – Public Relations and Brand Communications
Most people don’t realize the importance of cleaning and replacing their vacuum filters. Shake out or wash your filter between uses and replace the filter every few months. A clean filter means more efficient motor and battery performance for a deeper clean that lasts!"
– Eric Buehler, Director – Electronics

“Strong suction isn’t just about power – it’s about maintenance. Empty your product’s dirt tank regularly and keep the hose and foot clear, and your vacuum will do the heavy lifting.”
– Gabe Melching, Engineering Manager
