Know before you buy
For the best results, let the powder sit on your carpet or upholstery for 15 to 30 minutes. This allows the baking soda to absorb and neutralize odors before you vacuum it up.
Yes, this powder is versatile enough to be used on upholstery and car interiors. You can also use it in garbage areas to help manage and eliminate unpleasant smells.
This formula uses the natural cleaning power of baking soda to permanently eliminate odors embedded in fibers rather than simply masking them with fragrance.
While the product is effective for pet-related odors, it is recommended to keep pets out of the area while the powder is sitting on the carpet and during the vacuuming process to avoid them tracking the powder or inhaling dust.
The product is designed to be vacuumed up, but because it is a powder, it is important to vacuum thoroughly. If you have a high-pile carpet, you may need to make a few extra passes to ensure all the powder is removed.
