Namco Mfg. has invented a Steamer that it says can remove red stains out of carpets three times faster than using an old flat iron; you can also remove furniture indentions in a matter of minutes that would have been patched before.

A new pump allows you to use a gallon of distilled water; the unit siphons or self-feeds water without refills. This helps eliminate water deposit buildup and makes red stain removal easier, the company said. Circle 233 on the Reader Inquiry Card.
