What the STC-987 Portable Spot Cleaner Machine Is
The STC-987 is a compact portable spot cleaner machine for fabric: 1650 W of machine power, 13 kPa of suction power and a 1.6 L fresh water tank, in a 4.7 kg main unit measuring 331 × 192 × 320 mm. Four modes are selected on the touch screen — cold water, hot water, steam and steam sterilization — with no installation step between them.
It is a spot cleaner, not a wet-dry vacuum: the machine sprays, brushes and extracts a defined area of fabric, then stops. That is the point of the format. A sofa cushion, a mattress edge, a car seat or a pet bed can be treated where it stands, in minutes, instead of being sent out or taken apart.
Four Modes on One Touch Screen
The four modes are not four accessories; they are four water and temperature paths inside the same machine, switched on the panel or on the handle.
- Cold water — daily refresh, food and drink spills, delicate fabric.
- Hot water — greasy stains and pet mess, where the fabric needs deeper cleaning than a cold pass gives.
- Steam — sticky residue, odour and a general textile refresh.
- Steam sterilization — the high-temperature steam mode used on mattress and pet bed surfaces.
Steam volume runs at 20–30 g/min and preheating for steam or hot water takes 30 seconds, so the mode can be changed mid-job without draining the tank or waiting for the machine to cool.
On sterilization, the honest boundary: the machine provides a steam sterilization mode that applies high-temperature steam to the textile surface. No sterilisation rate, log-reduction or bacteria-kill figure is published for the STC-987, because no third-party test report for that claim has been supplied. Buyers who need a validated reduction figure should treat this mode as a high-temperature steam cycle and validate it against their own protocol.
Two Tanks, 1.6 L In and 0.95 L Out
Fresh water and recovered water sit in two separate tanks that never share a path. The 1.6 L fresh tank feeds a pressurised, electronically controlled spray; the 0.95 L dirty tank receives what the extraction head pulls back out of the fabric. Dirt that leaves the pile stays out of the loop instead of being pushed back into it on the next stroke.
The working sequence is four steps, repeated until the section is done: fill 1.6 L, spray under pressure, extract with 13 kPa of suction, empty the 0.95 L dirty tank. Two protections keep that cycle from turning into a repair — clean-water shortage protection protects the pump when the fresh tank runs low, and dirty-tank full protection stops extraction before the recovered tank overflows.
13 kPa Suction, 1650 W and What the Numbers Do
1650 W is machine power: it drives the pump, the heating path and the vacuum motor together, which is why hot water and steam can be produced while the machine is extracting. 13 kPa is the suction power at the head, the number that decides how much water comes back out of the pile and, in practice, how quickly the section is dry enough to sit on.
Noise level is 83 dB and the housing is rated IPX4 — splash resistance for wet work areas, which is the rating that matters when a tank is being emptied and refilled between sections. The power cord runs 4 m in total, about 3.5 m exposed, and the hose is 1.78 m.
Eight Textile Surfaces, One Clear Boundary
The medium fabric brush covers eight textile surfaces: sofa, mattress, carpet, curtain, car seat, pet bed, cushion and baby play mat. The same head is used for all of them, which is why a car upholstery cleaner and a mattress tool do not need to be bought separately for a small fleet.
The boundary is stated rather than glossed over. Glass and flat hard surfaces use the rubber cover that ships in the box, and the STC-987 is a spot cleaner machine for fabric rather than a wet-dry vacuum: it is built to treat a stain, a spill or a section, not to take on a whole wet floor.
Attachments and the Self-Cleaning Tool
Four pieces do the work. The medium brush for fabric handles upholstery, carpet and mattress. The rubber cover swaps onto the same head for glass and hard surfaces. The self-cleaning tool clears the hose and the extraction head after a job, which is the part that decides whether the machine smells of the last carpet it cleaned. The pin is included for the head.
What Arrives With Every Unit
Six items, exactly as listed on the packing list: one machine with hose, wind support and handle support; one medium brush for fabric; one rubber cover for glass and hard surface; one self-cleaning tool; one pin; one user manual.
Packed for Container Shipment
Each unit ships in a brown box of 408 × 300 × 370 mm with no master carton, 5 kg net and 6 kg gross. Loading is 640 pcs per 20GP, 1,322 pcs per 40GP and 1,500 pcs per 40HQ — figures an importer can put straight into a landed-cost sheet without re-measuring a carton.
The main unit at 331 × 192 × 320 mm and 4.7 kg is small enough for a housekeeping cart or a detailing van, and the carry handle, hose winding support and handle support are part of the machine rather than add-ons — the size difference that decides whether a spot cleaner machine is carried upstairs or left in the van.
Built-In Protection for Daily Use
Four protections are part of the standard build: clean-water shortage protection for the pump, dirty-tank full protection to stop extraction before overflow, an IPX4 splash-resistant housing, and a high-temperature warning marked at the extraction head.
Who Buys the STC-987
- Hotel and serviced-apartment housekeeping — mattress and headboard spots between changeovers, one machine per floor.
- Cleaning contractors — a spot tool carried alongside the main extraction machine, for the cushion or car seat that does not justify dragging a hose upstairs.
- Furniture rental and property management — pet, wine and coffee damage assessed and treated on site within the tenancy.
- Car detailing studios — seats, door cards and trim, with the rubber cover handling the glass.
- Importers and appliance distributors — a 4-in-1 category entry with a carton size and container load already fixed.
Choosing a Portable Spot Cleaner for a Fleet
Four questions decide whether a carpet spot cleaner machine survives daily commercial use in a fleet. How much water does it carry — 1.6 L fresh against 0.95 L recovered sets the number of sections per fill. How fast does it recover the water — 13 kPa determines how long a cushion stays damp. How many surfaces can one head serve — eight textile surfaces on the medium brush, plus the rubber cover for glass. And what stops a mistake — water shortage, full tank, splash rating and a high-temperature warning at the head, all before an operator has to intervene.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the STC-987 portable spot cleaner machine?
It is a compact spot cleaner for fabric: 1650 W machine power, 13 kPa suction power and a 1.6 L fresh water tank, with four modes selected on the touch screen, cold water, hot water, steam and steam sterilization. The main unit weighs 4.7 kg and measures 331 x 192 x 320 mm, with a 4 m power cord and a 1.78 m hose.
What are the four cleaning modes and what is each one for?
Cold water is for daily refresh, food and drink spills and delicate fabric. Hot water is for greasy stains and pet mess, where deeper cleaning is needed. Steam is for sticky residue, odour and a general textile refresh. Steam sterilization is the high-temperature steam mode used on mattress and pet bed surfaces.
How long does the STC-987 take to heat up?
Steam and hot water preheating take 30 seconds. Steam volume is 20 to 30 g per minute.
How many tanks does it have and how big are they?
Two independent tanks: 1.6 L fresh water and 0.95 L dirty water. Fresh water and recovered water never share a path, so the dirt that leaves the fabric stays in the dirty tank instead of going back into the pile.
What happens when the water runs out or the dirty tank fills up?
Two protections act before the machine is damaged or the tank overflows. Clean-water shortage protection protects the pump when the fresh tank runs low, and dirty-tank full protection stops extraction before the recovered tank overflows.
How much suction does it produce and how loud is it?
Suction power is 13 kPa and noise level is 83 dB. The housing is rated IPX4, which is splash resistance for wet work areas.
Which surfaces can it clean?
Eight textile surfaces are supported by the medium fabric brush: sofa, mattress, carpet, curtain, car seat, pet bed, cushion and baby play mat. Glass and flat hard surfaces use the rubber cover. It is a spot cleaner for fabric, not a wet-dry vacuum.
What is included with every unit?
One machine with hose, wind support and handle support, one medium brush for fabric, one rubber cover for glass and hard surface, one self-cleaning tool for the hose and extraction head, one pin and one user manual.
What voltage and plug versions are available?
Rated voltage is 220-240 V, 50/60 Hz, with EU, AU, UK or US plug versions. Colour options are black and white.
How is the STC-987 packed for export?
Each unit goes into a brown box of 408 x 300 x 370 mm, with no master carton. Net weight is 5 kg and gross weight 6 kg per box. A 20GP container holds 640 pcs, a 40GP 1,322 pcs and a 40HQ 1,500 pcs.
