As we head further into the depths of winter, we're naturally going to spend more time in our homes, along with the extra messes and spills that come with hosting season.
Muddy pawprints and shoes, rain and snow, wine spills – the list goes on. But you can make these cleaning tasks near-effortless with one trusty device, the Bissell Pet Stain Eraser that's now half price at Wayfair.It can vacuum up wet and dry spills in seconds, making light work refreshing upholstery, carpets and more.
If, like us, before guests arrive, you prefer to spend more time preparing food and decorations rather than cleaning the house, grab yourself one of the best vacuums to speed up your cleaning and free up more time for the fun stuff.
The Half-Price Bissell Pet Stain Eraser is Your Answer to Winter Messes and Stains
The Bissell Pet Stain Eraser is a vacuum cleaner and spot cleaner in one, covering all bases when cleaning common winter messes. It sucks away mess while using a dedicated cleaning solution to safely treat stains.
Don't be fooled – just because it has 'Pet Stain' in the name, it doesn't mean it's exclusively for pet owners. I say this as a frequent tester of the best vacuums for pet hair: Any vacuum that can handle pet-related messes can easily handle household dirt, mud, and food spills.
And with an upholstery brush, a crevice tool, and a pet tool, this tiny vacuum is equipped to handle all kinds of mess around the house. In fact, vacuums and vacuum-mop combos that can tackle pet messes tend to be the best cleaners, as pet stains are some of the most difficult stains to clean.
I always keep my handheld vacuum in the living room as it's where we spend most of our time, but as the Bissell Pet Stain Eraser is completely cordless, you can take it around the house or clean the car without being restricted by a power cord.
It has separate wet and dry nozzles, making it easy to empty solids into the trash can and liquids down the drain. I've tested vacuum-mops that do this, like the Dreame H14 Pro, and it makes a huge difference when it comes to emptying.
The Bissell Pet Stain Eraser is such a clever tool because it solves a common cleaning issue at home: It prevents dirt from building up. What makes our weekly deep house cleans so intensive is that it's the culmination of days of mess, from things like tracking in mud and rain from outdoors, having people over, and preparing food.
It's also compact and easy to store, making it a smart addition that won't take up loads of room when not in use, especially if you have a small home or limited space to keep cleaning appliances out of sight.
The Bissell Pet Stain Eraser Duo Deluxe is available for $69.99 at Wayfair.
So, instead of giving yourself a mammoth task every time you want to freshen up your home, keep a handheld vacuum nearby and clean them as they arise. Plus, spills and stains are much easier to clean when they happen, rather than letting them set over time.
And rather than going through the arduous process of stain removal every time the kids spill their breakfast or the dog has an accident, the Bissell Pet Stain Eraser can suck it up in seconds. You don't have to get your hands dirty and scrub away at a potentially precious fabric.

The Shark MessMaster is a more powerful alternative to the Bissell Pet Stain Eraser. It has a few more specialized attachments, like a squeegee tool and carpet tool, and on test, we loved how effectively it handled all sorts of messes in seconds.

If your home is mostly carpeted, then this upright cleaner from Bissell should be on your radar.

It won't just handle winter messes, it can sanitize your carpets and keep them looking and smelling fresh all year.
