Rocco & Roxie Stain and Odor Eliminator has a near cult following, boasting more than 24,000 Amazon reviews from users who swear it works miracles. The enzyme-activated formula eliminates stains, odors and residue from urine, feces, vomit and more. And it can be used on just about any surface, from carpets to furniture to pet beds.
“This stuff is literal liquid gold,” writes one reviewer. “I bought a house in July, bought brand-new couches to furnish it and by March, my cat had destroyed it with urine. I am happy to report that my couches are odor-free and no longer the bane of my existence. I can enjoy my living room again thanks to the magic witchcraft that is this product.”
Another popular pet stain remover is Nature’s Miracle Advanced Stain and Odor Eliminator, which can be used on carpets, furniture and even hard-surface floors. It works especially well on urine, vomit and diarrhea, and the enzyme formula discourages pets from re-soiling the same area. In addition, you can also get a spray that tells your pet where to go.
“I have three dogs so you know accidents happen,” writes one happy buyer. “After wiping up what I can of the mess, I apply the product and wait 15 minutes. Then I wipe the product up, and it’s completely gone. No residue, no smell, no trace of dog pee to be found.”
This American-made product is a favorite among reviewers, especially with pet urine stains. Pet Stain & Odor Miracle is another enzyme-based cleaner that efficiently removes organic matter such as urine, feces, vomit, blood and drool. Plus, unlike many products, it can be used on leather, car upholstery and even outdoor surfaces like artificial turf.
“After using other expensive odor products without any luck, this was my last effort before throwing my new couch out,” explains one reviewer. “My older cat is upset by our new puppy and went pee on our couch. This product is very strong when applying; I let it soak in for two hours, then put a folded blanket with a heavy box on top all night…The urine smell is gone and I’m left with a slight minty smell.”
If you want to treat stains while also killing bacteria, Bissell Pet Stain & Odor Remover + Sanitize does double-duty. It can be used on any soft surface — furniture, carpets, pet beds and so on. Not only does it help remove stains and odors, but it kills 99.9 percent of bacteria as well.
“Between dogs and kids, this stuff is regularly stocked at our house,” says one verified reviewer. “One of the dachshunds basically loses bladder control when he’s fixated on something exciting and has peed on the couch many times. We use this and there’s no remaining smell.”
Many pet stain removers have a strong scent. If you prefer a fragrance-free cleaning product, consider NonScents Stain & Odor Eliminator. This product contains no artificial fragrances and is safe to use on a variety of hard and soft surfaces, including furniture. Plus, it comes with a money-back guarantee.
“I have three male dogs going through some issue[s] right now, so I clean up pee spots frequently,” says one reviewer. “Spray has no odor, the urine smell is gone and no damage to floors or furniture.”
This professional-strength enzyme cleaner is effective on stains and tough odors. Bubba’s Pet Stain & Odor Terminator can be used on upholstery, flooring and more, and it utilizes natural dormant bacteria to effectively destroy stains.
“I’ve tried everything to clean my couch and carpet of the cat pee that my boy cats sprayed. Absolutely nothing has worked,” writes one reviewer. “I put this solution in a spray bottle and soaked the entire area of the couch. By the time it dried, it had no cat scent anymore. By morning, I noticed that the stain was even gone without me even scrubbing it at all.”
Tough pet stains often require a little scrubbing, and Woolite InstaClean Pet Cleaner has a convenient brush attached to the bottle. This stain remover is perfect for stains from urine, feces, vomit and mud. The brush helps work the formula deep into the surface to remove all traces of the stain.
“I tried and tried to get pet stains out from my couch and carpet with no success ever, until I bought this,” says one satisfied buyer. “The instant I sprayed it onto the stain, it turned white where it was dirty — I knew we had a chance. Sure enough, it removed everything I wanted it to.”
