The Stain Out System (SOS) Carpet Buddy is a hand-held 4-in-1 grooming and spotting tool for carpets, stairs, car mats and upholstery. One tool carries a nylon brush, a nylon comb, a chisel edge and serrated teeth, so it replaces several items in a spotting kit.
The four tools
Nylon brush
- Pulls pet hair off microfibre upholstery
- Grooms out vacuum lines
- Revives and lifts carpet fibres
Nylon comb
- Loosens dirt from fibres for better vacuuming results
- Agitates prespray deep into fibres
Chisel
- Pushes solvents and spotting agents deep into carpet fibres
Serrated teeth
- Aggressively attacks wax, gum and other dried-on substances
Where it earns its place
Stairs, edges, car mats and upholstery are the places a full-size rake or brush cannot reach. The Carpet Buddy is the tool for those, and for spot work where you need to work a spotter in and then break up the residue without changing tools.

Using it safely on fibre
- The serrated teeth are for wax, gum and dried residue. Use them on the deposit, not as a general scrubber, and keep them off loop pile and delicate fabrics.
- Tamp and work spotters in with the chisel; do not scrub. Scrubbing distorts the pile and spreads the stain.
- Rinse the tool after solvent or spotter use so chemical is not carried to the next surface.
Frequently asked questions
Is it a replacement for a carpet rake?
No. It is a hand tool for small areas. For whole rooms see the SOS Carpet Comb 18 Inch Carpet Rake.
Will it remove pet hair before cleaning?
SOS lists the nylon brush for pulling pet hair off microfibre upholstery. On carpet, use it on stairs and edges and vacuum afterwards.
