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.

Claims (11)

1. A hand-held apparatus for removing stains from fabrics comprising:

a first handle;

a vacuum canister;

a second handle pivotally coupled to said first handle and configured to accept said vacuum canister;

a cartridge containing a stain removal liquid;

a first workpiece coupled to said first handle, configured to accept said cartridge containing said stain removal liquid and having a stain removal liquid exit port, wherein said stain removal liquid is controllably ejected through said stain removal liquid exit port; and

a second workpiece coupled to said second handle and having a vacuum port, wherein said vacuum canister applies suction at said vacuum port.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein when said first and second workpieces are proximate to one another, said stain removal liquid exit port is proximate to said vacuum port.

3. An apparatus for removing stains from fabrics comprising a first handle, said first handle containing a stain removal liquid and a first fabric area, and a second handle coupled to said first handle, said second handle having a pressure cartridge and a second fabric area,
