The $99 Kmart spot cleaner shoppers can’t get enough of

Do you think this item is worth the hype?

Spot cleaning your upholstery is an important step in any deep clean, but which spot cleaner is the best in the market? This product has gone viral online, and it’s in the sweet spot of great quality and very affordable. 

Your sofa, carpet, and car interior are often the last items to be deep-cleaned and often the most difficult to do. If you’ve got a loves-the-mud puppy, a messy toddler, or a partner who loves bringing the outdoors inside, then finding the right way to clean your upholstery is essential. 

In Australia, the front-runner for fabric furniture cleaning products is the Bissell SpotClean carpet cleaner, but now another contender is fighting for the spotlight, and it’s more than $100 cheaper. 

The Anko spot cleaner, available at Kmart and Target, is $99. It has taken off online as the reigning supreme for deep cleaning.

What makes the Anko spot cleaner so special?

This popular cleaning device went viral in October 2023 after going on sale earlier in July. Since then, the Anko spot cleaner has become an essential household item for many. It has recently done the rounds again on social media, with many videos demonstrating its deep-cleaning prowess.

So, what does this spot cleaner have to offer?

The Anko Spot Cleaner is quite similar in function and performs almost identically to the Bissell SpotClean. Because of this, the low price of $99, compared to Bissell’s $219, is where all the hype comes from. 

The key features of the Anko spot cleaner include: 

  • Detachable water tanks.
  • Press to spray function.
  • Made from recycled soft plastic.
  • It comes with carry handles and an on/off switch.

With a warranty of 12 months, this baby is worth the purchase.

  • Vacuum floor heads with scrub brush: get muddy stains out of your living room rug without any fuss. 
  • Dog brushes: you can even give your pup a once over if they’re in need of a spruce. 

Social media users have lots to say about the genius of this affordable cleaning product. Tayla Brett took to TikTok to share a video of herself using the $99 item, saying, “The devil works hard, but my $99 Kmart spot cleaner works harder.” 

Reviews from the Kmart website express how much of a positive impact having this item handy has had for Aussie customers: 

“I literally love it. I’ve used it on the carpet, couch and in my car, and it’s been so good!! So satisfying to use, too!!” 

One customer exclaimed, “I’ve been trying to get this product for months. I used it on my black car seats, and the gross colours coming out of my seats were disgusting. I loved every minute of using this product.” 

Will you invest in this spot cleaner for future coffee spills in the car?
