Anyone try different cleaners and/or odor products? Due to the new addition to our family, a partially house-trained rescue dog, my brand-new SpotBot is getting a workout.

For pet stains I fill the tank plain water, about half a cup of white vinegar (to remove odors), and a scant bit of dish soap. It works great and is SOOO much cheaper than buying separate cleaners.

We use Bi-o-kleen's Bac-Out. It's an enzyme-based, organic cleaner that pulls out pet stains (and spit up carrot baby food) with no trace left. Bac-Out is completely safe for pets and children, and it leaves behind a citrus scent that keeps the kitties away from the spots in the future. You can buy it on Amazon or at most health food stores/health food sections in the cleaning supplies.

I've had great success with Nature's Miracle which is also an enzyme cleaner. This product completely eliminated pet odors & is available from the big box pet stores or online.

Stop using OxyClean immediately. The cleaning agents in OxyClean can eat away at the tubing of the spotbot.

We have all wood floors & have used Nature's Miracle w no problem while training our now 5-mo-old puppy! Wipe up the "accident", Spray it on the floor & let it sit just a few minutes then wipe dry. Nice fresh scent & absolutely no odor or stain on wood. We used it like crazy for 1st few weeks, then less & less-- thankfully puppy is trained now (even rings a bell to go outside--highly recommend that), only occasional "oops" when super-excited, for instance. Good luck & enjoy that pup, even the potty training stage; they grow up even faster than kids do! :)

Well I feel stupid because I never noticed the two different versions of this. I have been buying the pet urine one but will definitely get the cat one next time to see it if works better. My best guess (and this is from experience with both dog and cat pee) cat urine stinks up the house a lot worse than dog urine so possibly the cat urine product would be stronger and more effective on cat odors.

From previous research, owning another brand and then use of this one, I definitely give this one a thumbs up. It is not something that lifts out stains which you should know by the description of how it works but it does a good job for that which is stated. Excellent on ceramic floors, much easier than a mop. Since you have a small dog I would like to mention that it is also great on carpets. I add a drop of pure essential oil specific to my purpose, sometime fragrance, sometimes to disinfect. It steams the carpet but does not leave it wet. Great for fending off any potential mold, fleas, germs, etc. Hope this helps answer your question.

I had received the cat stink free instead of the dog stink free by mistake so I actually called the company about this and they told me there is no difference. They both remove the odors on dog and cat urine the same...Great!

the spot and pet remover is great the carpet shampoo is awesome, for grease spots i used a little dawn onthe spot first then i used the shampoo went over it several times and it came out.

Absolutely, this carpet clean is great for dog accidents, and it won't harm your small Bissell Spot machine. After cleaning the spot spray with biokleen bac-out and let dry. The enzymes in Bac-out will work on any feces or urine that may have saturated into the carpet pads. Bac-out has a nice scent to humans, but animals don't seem to want to eliminate where it is sprayed.

Sorry, only dogs here. Works great for dog odor. I purchased 2, one was extremely loud and as time goes by it only gets louder, I think it is going to stop working soon. The other one is fine.

Hi Mark. I bought Fabreze but it wasnt the miracle odor eliminator I was hoping it would be. I will now try Zero Odor (hadn't heard about this one until your email). I have a dog whose odor has permeated my couch and would like to find something that will neutralize the odors and not just overpower them with perfume. Good luck in your quest as well.

Fizzion absolutely does work to remove the pee smell. Perhaps the pee got between the boards and they are still smelling it? I soak the area and wipe it down, then soak it again and let it stand for a while. It might smell worse for a bit, but when it's dry the smell is gone. We have some naughty boys who also like to pee on a few fav. places. Fizzion doesn't say it will stop them from peeing, it says it will clean it up. Dogs pee once and they are done, a cat will remark a spot to be sure other cats know it's "theirs". Very irritating for sure! But all we can do is clean it up and get rid of the stink.

Training aid is a bit of a stretch. This will eliminate the odor from the mess if you get to it right away. That will keep your pet from using the same spot again. This is still the best solution for pet mess clean-up

I have never had that issue before, but this works very well with dog urine odor. You might want to mix it a little stronger or perhaps use full strength. the people with the company are pretty helpful, they might have more info. But this is pretty effective, with Eco 88 one of the two best I have used. And I have quite a bit of experience with cleaning up accidents. It even works on my hard wood(unsealed) floorGood luck, you might need to make sure that you get it in the crevices too.

I've never used the Professional version, but I've used the Pet Plus Platinum. I was pleased with the results, so I re-ordered it. I have pets and use Nature's Miracle enzymatic cleaner as a spot cleaner, then use the Pet Plus in the machine. I actually felt that I got better results by doing this than by having my carpet professionally cleaned. I hope this helps.

I have used both and I can tell you the urine destroyer works much better on pet urine than the 'regular' formula. No idea why!

I thought it smelled simply horrible. Gagging, in fact. It did not cover the urine smell, and it was horrible. I keep a clean house, and have a new dog. She hadn't been trained, so I had some issues on my area rug. It is an expensive one, and I was concerned. This product did not work. I did use, and this does NOT take the color out, is used in hotels/motels/ eating establishments, daycares, etc. .......Clorox Urine remover and deod. You can look on line and see where you can buy it. I had to get mine through Staples. It did not take the color from my rug, and completely took out the smell, and stain. They use this in many public places. I thought it smelled simply horrible. Gagging, in fact. It did not cover the urine smell, and it was horrible. I keep a clean house, and have a new dog.

I believe the 'ideal' way to apply it is using a spray. failing that I have just poured it on the offending spots (probably overdoing it and soaking the carpet instead!). I just finished my big bottle and am not reordering it because I found that rather than removing the odor it just covers it up with a perfume scent... basically, I am sorry to say that I have yet to find a suitable solution for urine stains or odors.
