(More customer reviews)Our large indoor dog is getting older, and she peed on our carpet. First we toweled the spot and cleaned it with Woolite, but even after scrubbing the area and letting it dry several times over the course of two days, the odor was still pretty bad. We headed to the pet supply store to find something stronger, and picked this. Admittedly, a big factor in our choice was that we didn't know much about any of the products, and this cost less than most of the other power products (most of which contained enzymes to "eat" the foul odors). The other big factor was that this didn't have any perfumes or fragrances added, as these are a problem for a member of our household.
We were amazed at how well this worked. Following the directions, we sprinkled the white Odorzout powder over the problem area, and left it overnight. It said it would work better with a fan running on it, but we tried it without the extra electricity use first. The next morning, we vacuumed up the powder. Hooray--the smell was gone!
Since then, we've used it once more when the same problem happened, and it worked just as well. This second time we didn't use Woolite or anything else first. We just toweled the area, let it finish drying for a bit, and then used the Odorzout. The next morning, one member of our household who is *extremely* sensitive to smells could still detect some urine scent, although the rest of us couldn't smell anything. We used the Odorzout a second time on the same area, and then everyone agreed the smell was completely gone.My only concern was whether the area was really "clean" after being sprinkled and vacuumed, without also shampooing the carpet with anything. According to the package, the Odorzout "attracts and traps the gas and bacteria molecules that cause odor, even in flooring under carpet. When you vacuum it up, odors are gone for good." From what I can tell, that appears to be true. I'll still keep shampooing my carpets twice a year anyway, though!
So, I'm giving it five stars because it does exactly what it says it will do, very well. I wish it worked instantly, but at least this fixes the problem overnight.
