Simple Solution Pet Stain and Odor Remover | Enzymatic Cleaner with 2X Pro-Bacteria Cleaning Power | 1 Gallon

This product is brilliant. I have been using it for a number of years now (since I discovered it)and recommend it to all the pet owners that I know. It really does do what it is supposed to do - and is the only product that I have found which actually gets rid of odours so much that my dog does not return to the same spot. I have used it for 3 different dogs now and have found it to be effective with all - especially at the puppy stage when they are weeing everywhere. I have also found it good for getting rid of other 'nasty' and difficult to remove odours - eg milk, vomit etc. I don't know how I managed before I discovered it!

We bought a new house a few weeks ago and were stunned when we took possession to find that the previous owner's cat had used a few places on the basement carpet as its "litter box". The smell was overwhelming, and wafted throughout the house. We hated to pull out a pretty new carpet, so did some internet research and learned that an enzyme cleaner was a must to actually degrade the compounds that cause the incredibly strong smell in old cat pee. Simple Solution Stain & Odor Remover came up repeatedly as a highly rated enzyme cleaner, so we ordered the spray bottle and a 1-gallon refill bottle. Through scientific investigation down on our knees (!), we identified the affected areas of carpet, then sprayed everywhere, with heavier doses on the worst areas. There was an improvement within an hour or so, but it took several applications on the problem areas over several days till the smell was gone. The product has a pleasant but not overly perfumey odour, which we like because one person in our family is susceptible to fragrance-triggered headaches. We got the impression that the product eliminated rather than just covered the bad smell. I highly recommend this product. We liked the results so much, we bought another gallon to use up at the cottage, where a couple of couches have a musty smell that we hope will respond well. One recommendation - if you're spraying a large area, as we had to do initially, or are making repeated applications, you'll find that your hand gets really tired working the sprayer for extended periods. We had to keep trading on and off with different people doing the spraying. I'd suggest using a sprayer (like you'd use for spraying garden chemicals, but don't use your garden one!)

Shipping during covid is of course slow, but I love the product.

We tried this product a few times when our dog decided to mark his territory, i.e. our carpets. It didn't seem to work very well - the odour went away but the stain remained, even after working hard with cold water and a cloth before spraying on the solution. Then we read the instructions! When it says soak the area, it means soak it. Even more importantly, the solution MUST be left to dry of its own accord: don't mop up with kitchen towel, etc. It may take a few days to dry, but once it has dried you will find the stain has gone. Just trust it to do its job - after all, it is GUARANTEED to work. Buying a big bottle has proved cost-effetive. We transfer the solution to a smaller bottle with a spray nozzle on the top and spray it on. Not sure I would want to pour on straight from the bottle provided. Before using Simple Solution we tried a well-known ammonia-based carpet cleaner, which left the house smelling of ammonia for hours and didn't touch the stain. When we spoke to our vet, she warned us that the ammonia will actually encourage a dog to mark the area, so it is likely to make the problem worse.

It does what it says on the tin and leaves a wonderful fresh smell. I don't have to worry about my dogs leaving unpleasant odours about the house or garden any more. Brilliant just brilliant.
