Sprinkle an even layer over the carpet, let it sit briefly, then vacuum it up thoroughly. Follow the label directions for how long to leave it down.

Does it clean stains or dirt?

No. It is an odor treatment, not a stain remover or soil cleaner. For spots and ground-in dirt, use a carpet shampoo or extractor.

Will it help with pet or smoke odors?

It is made for odors from smoke, cooking and mildew, and it freshens the surface. For odors soaked into padding or subfloor, the source needs deeper treatment.

Is it safe for all carpets?

It is designed for vacuum-safe use on carpet. Test a small hidden area first on delicate or wool rugs, and check the label for restrictions.

Coverage depends on pile and how heavily you apply it. A light even dusting over the area is enough; the container size is best judged against the square footage you plan to treat.
