NonScents Carpet & Rug Odor Eliminator - Safe & Fragrance-Free Pet Carpet Deodorizer - Cat and Dog Smell Neutralizer - Removes Pet Urine Odors - Fresh Scent Powder in Pet Areas at Home

I don't write a lot of reviews on Amazon but felt it was worthwhile to let others know my experience with this product. We have a large (12X18) area rug in the bedroom. One of our elderly dogs had a few accidents. We tried to get it professionally cleaned but they don't do anything that contains viscose, said it would ruin the pattern. Who knew? Without doing the proper research we decided to hang the rug outside and wash it with the hose. Come to find out, viscose should never be cleaned with anything moist. Our big expensive rug looked great but stunk like a dead thing. For more than the cost of the rug I could have had a "Walkable Art" company come clean it but that wasn't an option. Lo and Behold I found this product and decided to give it a try. The first time around we used almost the whole bottle, spread it around and let it sit for slightly more than 24 hours. There is a rather strong smell to the deodorizer itself, but anything was better than smelling the rug. After vacuuming off, the smell was gone. After a couple weeks passed we could start to get whiffs again of the bad smell. Now weather had changed, the air was moist, we started running the heater, then finally after another couple rounds of vacuuming, the smell started to reappear. The next time I ordered two bottles (too much of a good thing can't be too bad can it?). We used both bottles, raked it into the rug after 24 hours to make sure it got good contact with all parts, then left it for another two days. This time the deodorizer smell didn't seem as bad, not sure if I'm used to it or if it smells less when there is less bad smell to activate it? Anyway, after 72 hours we vacuumed it off and the bad smell once again disappeared. Bonus, even my vacuum cleaner no longer has that "dog" smell. Not sure if we'll have to do it again in the future but even if I have to repeat this a few times a year, it's worth saving the cost of the rug. (Note to self, stay away from all rugs with Viscose on the tag)

I had some strong odors that were being very difficult to remove. I used a furniture cleaner, and tried other scent removers that just wouldnt quite do the job. This did a better job removing the odor than anything Ive tried so far. Definitely worth the purchase.

**update** I took a star off because after a week or so the smell does come back. Not quite as strong. I treated again with this product and it was better for about a week again. It seems this is something I will have to keep using to keep my carpet smelling fresh. Maybe there is no permanent solution to dog pee odor aside from replacing the carpet. I just used it and it does remove the dog urine smell from my carpet. I have an old dog that leaks urine (so no big pools of pee). I carpet cleaned it several times and could still smell it. Used this and the smell is gone from my wool carpet and rug. It is not difficult to vacuum up if you have a good vacuum (I have a Dyson). I will update if the smell returns, but I’m pleased for now. *it does not have a bleach smell as other reviewers stated. It smells like chlorine, because that’s what it is.

We have a disgruntled cat with ongoing UTI issues and new carpet...bad combo. After steam cleaning, the cover-up scent wore off and urine odor returned, I found this product and figured it was worth a shot. I had my expectations set very low. This product does help a little. 48 hrs in, there is still some hint of urine smell, not as bad. The material is very granular (not really powdery, almost like cat litter (odd ??!)) so you can feel it under foot. I left it on the carpet overnight before vacuuming it up, so it would saturate and it seemed to work well at first. When I vacuumed it up, the faint smell returned, so I might need to replace the carpet and pad, unfortunately.

We have two dogs and two cats and a carpeted basement. That adds up to some whiffy pet odors at times, and vacuuming doesn't always take care of the odor along with the pet hair. We don't like the fake perfumy scent of many carpet deodorizers that only cover up odors and you end up with flowery dog bum smell. Ahh, no thanks. This product was just another try in the long process of trying to find something that actually deletes the odor rather than temporarily covering it up. We tried it out on the stairs first as they get the most foot traffic from people and pets. Holy cow, this powder is nothing short of a miracle. We sprinkled liberally on the stairs, blocked them off for about two hours, and then vacuumed thoroughly. When done, the carpet on the stairs didn't smell brand new, but it also didn't smell like pets or synthetic flowery pets. We did the rest of the carpet, turned off the air filters and fans, and kept people and pets off of it overnight after vacuuming so we could see how well this powder really worked. Even though this apparently had effectively nuked the pet odor on the stairs, we wanted a bigger test. When we went back into the basement the next evening about a day later it was obvious how well this carpet powder works. The only way to describe it is to compare it to how clean carpet smells after a professional thorough deep cleaning. It's fall but up here in the Hudson Valley we have temps in the 30s at night now and 50s during the day, so unlike warmer weather we can't open the windows to the basement, and HEPA filters can only do so much. When we came down the next day, NO SMELL. NONE. ZILCH. ZIPPO. Everything smelled, well, like nothing. Not like pets, not like the horrible fake fragrance from most carpet deodorizers. And unlike some carpet powders, this one vacuums up cleanly so you never end up with gritty carpet. TL:DR - this is worth it's weight in gold.

Didn’t notice difference
