spot cleaner

Targeted mess eliminator

A spot cleaner is a cleaning product or device designed to treat individual stains rather than clean entire surfaces.

The term applies both to spray-on solutions for carpet or upholstery stains and to small portable machines that extract dirt from localized areas: I used the spot cleaner on the wine stain before it set.

The emphasis is on targeted treatment rather than general cleaning.
