How long do I leave it on before blotting?

The label gives an application time of 5 to 10 minutes. Blot or extract after that; don't let it dry into the fibers.

Is it safe on all carpets?

It is certified by the Carpet & Rug Institute for use on all carpet types. On upholstery, test a hidden area first because hydrogen peroxide can lighten some dyes.

Does it work better than enzyme cleaners?

It acts faster: 5 to 10 minutes versus the hours enzyme cleaners need to activate. Enzyme products may still be preferred for repeated deep-set organic odors.

Can I use it on hard surfaces?

It is designed for carpets, rugs and furniture. For kitchen and bathroom hard surfaces, use a product labeled for those surfaces.

Will it leave a sticky residue?

The maker says it breaks down to water and oxygen and leaves no residue. Blotting or rinsing after the dwell time helps avoid any residue in the pile.

What stains does it remove besides pet messes?

It is also listed for blood, coffee, wine, chocolate and berry stains on soft surfaces.

About the Oxy Stain and Odor Eliminator

Oxy Stain & Odor Eliminator is a hydrogen peroxide cleaner from EcoStrong for stains, odors, and messes on soft surfaces. When sprayed, the hydrogen peroxide bubbles and fizzes to lift stains and neutralize odors at the source. It breaks apart dirt, grime, and bacteria and leaves behind only water and oxygen.

It is made for carpets, rugs, upholstery, and furniture, and it penetrates deep into the fibers. It removes pet urine, vomit, feces, and set-in pet stains. It also works on blood, coffee, wine, chocolate, and berry stains, and it can be used around the home, including the kitchen and bathroom.

The formula is certified by the Carpet & Rug Institute for use on all types of carpet. It is designed to remove stains and odors without leaving a residue or a crunchy carpet. Unlike enzyme-based cleaners, which take hours to activate, it works right away, and it does not leave the greasy residue that orange-based cleaners can.
