Does it remove stains?

No. It is an odor eliminator and light refresher, not a stain remover. Treat spots with a carpet cleaner first, then use this for smell.

How long do I leave it on the carpet?

Sprinkle a thin, even layer, let it sit for about 15 minutes, then vacuum thoroughly. Longer dwell times help on strong odors but make residue more likely.

It is a baking-soda-based carpet powder meant to be vacuumed up before pets walk on the carpet. Keep pets off the treated area while the powder sits.

Will it work on old smoke smell?

It helps with surface odors but rarely clears deep smoke contamination. Repeated treatments plus a professional clean work better for long-standing smoke.

Can I use it on upholstery?

It is formulated for carpets and rugs. Test a hidden spot on furniture first, and vacuum carefully since fabric weaves trap powder.

How many uses does a canister give?

Coverage depends on how heavily you sprinkle. A light layer over an average room uses a small fraction of a canister, so the two-pack lasts through several treatments.

Our take on the Arm & Hammer Carpet Odor Eliminator Extra Strength 30 oz, 2-Pack

A baking-soda carpet powder that you sprinkle on, let sit, then vacuum up to lift odors and light soil from rugs and carpets. The Extra Strength version leans on Arm & Hammer's baking soda heritage and is aimed at pet smells, smoke and musty rooms rather than deep stain removal. It is a low-effort maintenance product, not a cleaner or a shampoo, so compare it with enzyme sprays and carpet shampoos only for odor control. Buyers rate it well for everyday freshening; heavy embedded odors usually need a wet clean first.
