I used Shark’s StainForce to banish red wine stains and grease marks, and it just crashed in price at Amazon

No matter how careful you are with trying to prevent stains, life takes over, and accidents happen. In fact, only last night my husband knocked over a glass of red wine onto a cream rug and a light gray sofa.

But I no longer have to worry, as I have a cleaning superpower that I rely on for wet and dry stains. It’s the Shark StainForce — and the portable spot cleaner is mini and mighty. What’s more, it’s 25% cheaper right now, and you can swipe it up for $149 at Amazon.

The Shark StainForce is a compact and cordless spot cleaner, with ultra powerful suction and stain-fighting power. Used alongside the accompanying StainForce cleaner, it eliminates both fresh and set-in stains. Plus it can be emptied quickly, so you're ready for the next challenge.

About the Shark StainForce

The Shark StainForce was launched in September 2025, and at the time, I wrote about how it fixed my least favorite thing about spot cleaners. I was won over by its portability and accessibility. When a stain hits, you can just grab the caddy and go, no awkward cables to plug in.

In my Shark StainForce review, I also mention how it’s a great cleaning gadget to have if you’ve got pets or children, and even better if you’ve got both. But after using the cleaning machine for several months, I think it’s a handy tool in any home.

Whether you have wine spills on your sofa or muddy paw prints on a rug, the Shark Stain Force is your always-ready solution, which means you can quickly clean up stains as soon as they land, whether they are wet or dry.

Apart from its convenient design, it combines ultra-powerful stain-extracting suction that lifts and locks away spills and stains without leaking and dripping when held at an angle. It also features a dual-formula spray bottle, which, according to Shark, delivers the best stain-fighting in the product category, with 30 times more stain-fighting power.

The way you clean the stain depends on whether it is wet or dry, but all the steps are easy to follow. And since testing the gadget, I’ve used it to clean up numerous red wine stains and to remove a grimy mark caused by hair products from the back of a fabric headboard.

The Shark StainForce is easy to use, lightweight, and everything is stored in the caddy, ensuring the kit is always to hand when the next stain emergency strikes. And with a 25% discount, it's a great time to make the most of this offer.
