Abstract

An apparatus for removing stains from a fabric includes a device configured to draw a stain removal liquid through the fabric. The stain removal liquid may be drawn through the liquid through the use of suction directed by a nozzle. The nozzle may be placed over the fabric, which is placed over a reservoir of stain removal liquid. Thereafter, a pressure is activated and the stain removal liquid is drawn through the fabric, removing the stain. The apparatus may be a hand-held device. The hand-held device comprises two handles and two workpieces. A pressure source is placed in the handle, creating a pressure at a first workpiece. The fabric is placed between the first workpiece and the second workpiece, drawing a stain removal liquid from a reservoir in the second workpiece through the fabric.
