What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise this odor eliminator as a powerful, indispensable solution for deep cleaning carpets, especially against persistent pet or smoke smells. Reviewers highlight its superior neutralizing capability, noting it genuinely resets odors rather than just masking them. The extra strength formula effectively tackles set in smells where other products fail. Application is simple, involving sprinkling and vacuuming. While a strong vacuum is needed for complete residue removal, the product offers exceptional value due to its effectiveness and affordability. Even users sensitive to the initial bright fragrance agree the scent fades quickly, leaving behind only true freshness. It is a reliable staple for households needing heavy duty odor control.
Know before you buy
This formula is specifically recommended for cut-pile carpets. If you have delicate fibers, specialty rugs, or high-end materials, it is best to check your manufacturer's care guidelines before application.
Simply sprinkle the powder evenly over your dry carpet using the shaker box, let it sit for a few minutes to absorb odors, and then vacuum thoroughly. Ensure the carpet is completely dry before applying to prevent clumping.
It does both. While the baking soda base absorbs and neutralizes trapped odors, the added OxiClean dirt-fighters help lift away grime, leaving your carpet cleaner and fresher than a standard deodorizer would.
When used as directed on appropriate carpet types, the powder should be fully removed by a standard vacuum. If you notice any residue, a second pass with your vacuum cleaner will typically clear it up.
While the ingredients are standard for residential carpet care, it is best practice to keep pets out of the room while you are applying the powder and vacuuming. Once the carpet is vacuumed and the powder is removed, it is generally safe for pets to return to the area.
