Cleaned a mattress, great for new and old carpet stains
Really glad for the inner seal! Got this in the mail today. The outer plastic was broken and the lid was halfway unscrewed. If it weren't there, that would have sucked. This is my second bottle, the rest of my review is glowing. Just a comment to the manufacturer to keep that inner seal for shipping. I'm going to be transparent here with our carpets, and mattress. I had a senior dog with CKD, and a puppy with giardia and coccidia who had trouble holding one end and eventually the other. Health issues made potty training much slower than usual. I've tried a dozen cleaners and was ready to give up and accept that they were ruined. Anyway, I WISH I took photos of this. I'm so used to cleaners not working that I didn't waste the time. I used this on a newer, white mattress our puppy had an accident on. He had very intense smelling urine, like boys tend to do. It not only got rid of the smell but it also cleaned the stain. I soaked it like others suggested and left it to dry with some fans in the room to help. The next day it was gone. My brother was taking the bed because I was moving. I told him of the stain and asked him to smell it since he doesn't have dogs and is pretty sensitive to smells. I wanted an unbiased review. I pointed out where it was, and he couldn't find it... and he tried. I've been using it on the carpet as well for new stains from the puppy and old stains from my senior dog with CKD. It eliminates them. The older stains I can still see a little discoloration, which isn't surprising, but the smell is still gone. I use the spot carpet cleaner to get up any wet spots, soak the area with the spray, scrub it a bit with the brush, use the carpet cleaner again to pull up excess. It suds when you scrub so I do add a bit of water from the sprayer end of the carpet cleaner (not much), let it pull up excess suds and put a fan on it to let it dry. I don't have it suck up all of the cleaner like I would with others to get it as dry as possible, so the cleaner can penetrate a bit deeper. I also let old stains sit for 2-3 minutes after spraying it the first time. Since old stains are not wet, I do soak it more. There was also one puppy poop stain hidden behind furniture that I found when our puppy had giardia and was pretty much going everywhere... and it cleaned that, too. I've seen some commenters say not to let it sit in a carpet cleaner because it eats away at it plastic. I have not had this issue, but I do dump and wash the container once a week and use the backflow valve to clean the hose. This is my second bottle so I'll try and get some before and after pics for the next stain I find and update my review later. I haven't noticed them coming back up like urine stains always do, either. Hope this helps someone. Read more
