Simple Solution Extreme Cat Stain Eliminator for Strong Odor, Pet Odor Eliminator for Home, Stain Remover for Cats, Kitten Essentials, Floor Cleaner, Urine Destroyer, Carpet Cleaner Spray, 32oz

Wonderful product, the smell was nice, took stain away as well as the cat pee smell, didn't harm my pets safe to use around them, very effective, definitely worth the value.

This product is awesome. My 18 year old cat is suffering from some senior problems. One day, I discovered that she had a new problem, a leaky bladder while sleeping. Thankfully, she no longer has the problem. However, due to her leaky bladder my armchair had an area that stank of cat urine and it had seeped into the chair material.. I tried two different products designed for cat messes which I bought locally. At first they seemed to work, but soon the odor returned. I believe that they just covered the smell with a fragrance and didn’t get to the cause of the smell. I tried a home recipe, but that didn’t work either. I needed to “destroy” the odor producing chemicals. I went on-line, did my research and figured that I needed a biological treatment that would break down the odor causing chemical. As a result, I ordered the Simple Solution Cat Extreme stain and ordor remover. As soon as it arrived, I used it. Next day, I noticed that there was much less odor. I treated the armchair a second time. The odor was completely gone and has never returned. I now use this product for occasional cat accidents. It works great. In fact, I recommended it to friends who have indoor cats. I advise that anyone with an indoor cat keep a bottle of this product handy, in case of emergency.

Works okay, need to use it multiple times and wait a few hours to weaken the marks on carpet

I've been using enzyme/bacteria-based cleaners for urine for a few years, but this has become my new favorite. It works faster than other brands I've used (Nature's Miracle and Just Rite) plus it has a much more pleasant smell while it is working. The bacteria/enzyme-based cleaners work so well because the bacteria break down the urine. The problem is that while that is happening, the smell can get worse (especially with Nature's Miracle). Simple Solution, on the other hand, is highly scented so that it covers up the smell while the bacteria are breaking it down. The scent is not great (think of a heavy-duty air freshener) but miles better than urine odor! The scent does dissipate so that the rug is left smelling pretty neutral once the process is complete. The bottle has an adjustable spray so you can use a narrow stream (for soaking deep into the carpet) or a wide spray (for covering larger areas). The key to getting this to work is to fully-saturate the urine area. Simple Solution has several variations of this product. I tried the regular strength, and the "extreme" version (this product) is worth the extra cost since it does work faster and you end up using less. They also make a dog-specific version of the Extreme. I don't know what the difference is between the cat and the dog versions (probably just marketing), and Simple Solution did not respond to my email asking for more info. Wish it was less expensive, but it certainly does the job, and does it well. Highly recommend.

Firstly, let me say that this product seems to work. It leaked significantly in transit, and I used a cat-stained pillowcase to wipe off the bottle and the packaging before returning it. The good news is that the pillowcase no longer smells of cat pee. The bad news is that it now reeks of the product's synthetic fragrance, which turns out to be a migraine trigger for me. I've put that pillowcase through the washing machine three times now with various odour eliminators, and the scent is still there. So while Simple Solution's spray seems to have done the job (the scent isn't masking the cat odour, as far as I can tell), the pillowcase is still unusable due to the persistent and pungent perfumes in the product. [EDIT: So, after six months of washing the pillowcase whenever I had space in a load, it's finally free of the product fragrance. It turns out, though, that a slight cat odour persisted underneath the spray's scent, and remains on the pillowcase. That could well be because the fabric wasn't completely saturated by the product when I cleaned up the leak, however. So I continue to believe that Simple Solution's spray works pretty well, even though it was definitely not for me. - March 2013] Unfortunately I was sitting on my couch when I opened the box, and some of the product leaked onto that, resulting in the same problem - multiple vinegar rinses and a wet-dry vac later, I can sit on that end of the couch for short periods without my head starting to pound. But that's a lot of work for a small leak! So while this product appears to shift odours, it's a risky proposition for anyone with chemical sensitivities, migraines, or other intolerances. Finally, as I said in the first line, the product leaked when Amazon sent it to me. The first time they sent it out, this spray was packaged up with an order of books (despite their claiming those would ship separately); unsurprisingly, the books were water-damaged and reeked of this stuff! I sent the whole lot back since the spray bottle seemed to have lost a fair amount, and they sent me a replacement bottle - which also leaked! I've left packaging feedback so hopefully this will improve for future orders, but fair warning - you probably don't want to order this in the same order as food items, books or anything else you don't want it leaking on.

We recently moved to a new home and brought with us a beautiful 8K rug that was given to us for free by a family friend. She didn't want it and I was happy to take it off her hands. It came from restoration hardware. It's a cream colored area rug that in just a few months developed a walkway stain. So when we moved, a friend offered to loan us her carpet steam machine. I used it on the area rug and let the rug dry a few days prior to moving in. The day we moved in, I opened the door and all I could smell was cat pee. I then realIzed it was coming from the area rug and then I remembered that the friend I borrowed the steam cleaner from also has cats and must have used it on her carpets that had cat uriine. So it was still in the machine when I borrowed it. Even though I had completely put a new and fresh cleaning agent in the machine. I tried everything from another 5-6 cleanings, vinegar and of course the most popular cat urine remover on the market. Nothing could get out the smell and I can't stand the smell of cat pee. Here we were moving into this beautiful new home and all I could smell was cat pee. I finally went to YouTube to see what else was available and watched a video review of this product. So I ordered it as one last hope before I sadly trashed the donated $8,000 area rug. To my shock. IT WORKED!! I had to spray the top and underside a few times and it still took a few days but the smell is completely gone. My guess is that the cat pee got into fibers of the carpet since the machine was so powerful. I highly recommend this product. I don't know what's different with this one vs the leading brand but this one definitely saved my beautiful area rug.

I've used different cat stain remover, this one has the least strong smell. I personally prefer no strong smell, I understand some strong scent was added to cover the cat urine smell, but some scents are so strong that they themselves became an annoyance

My cat was pregnant, gave birth, and had to wait 3 months to be spayed. During this time she kept marking in the garage with urine and then later, when she became territorial of the garage with my two other cats, started defecating as well. She was spayed and rehomed due to her aggression with the other cats (don’t worry, she’s super happy being the only cat in her new home) but her daughter who went into heat at 7 months started marking the same spot with urine and feces. I constantly clean the area as instructed by the bottle and she continues to mark there with feces. Then she soiled on a mattress in the garage and I tried to treat the smell with the enzyme spray and the smell is still lingering and strong despite following instructions. She was spayed last week and marked the spot with feces once again so my solution to was to simply put her litter box where the spot is. That seemed to work last night but I’m afraid it won’t be a permanent solution. Try some other brand. This one didn’t work for me.
