Name: SOS Sub Surface Extraction Hand Tool
SKU: 71-001
Availability: BackOrder

The S.O.S. (StainOut System) Sub Surface Extraction Hand Tool is a professional-grade, handheld tool designed to flush out severe contaminants trapped deep within carpet padding and upholstery backing. When paired with oxidizing or enzymatic treatments (such as TMF USOR Unchained), it targets the true source of recurring spots and pet urine odors by drawing the liquids upward instead of spreading them.
Key Design Features
- Multi-Cuff Compatibility: The intake port natively fits 1.25″, 1.5″, and 2″ vacuum hose cuffs, connecting seamlessly to residential shop-vacs, professional portable extractors, or truckmount systems.
- Transparent Extraction Head: Features a 5″ x 8″ clear plastic viewing window. This allows technicians to monitor the extraction stream in real-time and verify when the pulled water runs clear.
- Targeted Airflow Technology: Specially engineered to restrict airflow strictly to the footprint of the tool. This maximizes vacuum lift directly over the saturated carpet pad zone.
- Ergonomic Composition: Built from high-quality steel and durable composites to handle heavy downward pressure without cracking or causing user fatigue.
Standard Sub-Surface Workflow
1. Saturate: Pour your diluted urine neutralizer or peroxide treatment directly over the pet spot, mimicking the exact shape and volume of the original pool. Let it dwell for 15–30 minutes to dissolve crystallized salts.
2. Extract: Place the SOS Hand Tool directly over the wet footprint and apply firm downward pressure.
3. Flush: Pour clean, hot water around the edges of the tool while keeping the vacuum running to continuously draw fresh rinse water down through the backing and up into the tool.
4. Monitor: Continue extracting until no dirty moisture or chemical foam is visible through the clear top window.
