   • Like other Woolite products, this remover is designed with the safety of pets and children in mind, so there are no harsh or toxic chemicals involved.

Performance:

• Stain Removal:

  • Many users report that the product works well on fresh stains and moderately well on older, set-in stains when used with a carpet cleaner or as a pretreatment. For best results, it’s recommended to use it promptly after a mess occurs.

• Odor Elimination:

  • Its odor-neutralizing capabilities are praised, with users noting that it effectively removes unpleasant smells rather than just masking them.

Pros:

• Fragrance-free and dye-free, suitable for sensitive individuals.
• Enzyme-based cleaning formula for tackling tough pet stains and odors.
