Which is better for pet urine smell in carpet?

Use the OdoBan Pet Oxy on the spot to break down the urine stain and odor, then follow with the ARM & HAMMER powder across the room if smell lingers. The powder alone masks and absorbs odor but does not remove the stain.

Can I use the ARM & HAMMER powder on upholstery or laundry?

No. It is made for carpet. Use the OdoBan spray for upholstery, fabric and laundry stains.

Which one lasts longer?

The 30 oz powder covers a large carpet area over several treatments. The OdoBan bottle is a spot treatment, so it lasts longer per accident but covers far less surface per use.

Is the OdoBan safe on all carpets?

It is an oxygen-activated hydrogen peroxide formula, so test a hidden spot for colorfastness first. It is meant for colorfast-washable carpets and fabrics.

Is the ARM & HAMMER worth it over the OdoBan?

At $4.99 versus $5.98 as of November 5, 2026, the powder is the better value for whole-room odor control. The OdoBan is worth the extra dollar if you need stain removal.

Do either leave a residue?

OdoBan says its polymer technology leaves no sticky residue. The powder is vacuumed up, so residue depends on how thoroughly you vacuum.
