Amazon Basics Pet Stain Remover, Carpet Cleaner, Fresh Scent, 64 fl oz

*Note: this review is based on my experiences using this carpet cleaner outside of the recommended machine use*I have pets & need a carpet cleaner spray for pet accidents on a old wool rug. This rug is LARGE & OLD. I'm not worried about ruining it, so I will try different products on it for carpet cleaning purposes.I mix the Amazon brand cleaner (2-3 oz) in a spray bottle filled the rest of the way with water. Shake it well before each use & spray directly onto rug. Always ensuring that I have a thick towel under the section that I'm spraying & cleaning.Using a soft brush, I lightly scrub, then place another towel on top & walk all over the area to absorb the liquid. Repeat the process a second time with plain water (to act as a "rinse" process).This has helped to dramatically reduce & remove pet odor and any visible spots/stains.One of the biggest Pro's is the smell. It's very lightly scented. Almost like a minty smell. It does not smell like you are trying to cover anything up with fragrance. Which I appreciate.I haven't tried it in my carpet machine, but based on how well it works manually, I would say that it is worth a try.I have noticed some color fade from my rug. Mainly the areas that are a red/maroon color. I expected this because again it's old, it's wool, and the cleaner contains peroxide. Peroxide removes color from many fabrics. So, I do advise to spot check your rugs/carpets before use. Especially any darker colored ones.The price of this carpet cleaner is incredibly fair. Much less expensive that alot of the other brands. I definitely feel that the value exceeds expectations. Again, I am using 2-3 oz at a time in a standard spray bottle diluted with water, so a bottle of this stuff lasts me months.If you are value conscious and want a good product without an obnoxious amount of fragrance, then you should give it a try. It's definitely on my "buy again" and "always keep on hand" lists!

I used this carpet shampooer solution with my cleaner, and it worked better than I expected! It lifted out old stains and left the carpets looking fresh and bright. The scent was clean but not overpowering—just a nice, fresh smell that made the whole room feel cleaner.It foamed just the right amount and didn’t leave behind any sticky residue. I was especially impressed with how well it worked on high-traffic areas and pet spots—those were noticeably cleaner after just one pass.A little goes a long way, too, which makes it a great value. I’ll definitely keep this on hand for regular deep cleaning.Highly recommend if you want your carpets not only to look better but to smell better too!

It's a decent amount for the price. It smells good and it did get the job done. I wouldnt say this was the best product I've ever gotten but we usually buy the Bissell pet friendly and it's more expensive than this one with less cleaner. We did end up putting more than 5oz in just to make sure it works. Maybe I'll update this when it dries but overall we would buy it again.

I use this monthly for our carpet cleaning. The smell is great. Super effective and helps with pet odor. Great cleaning and felt like it was worth the money.

Works just as well as name brand! Gets my dogs pee out of the carpet and smells great. Easily removed the stains and smell, clear, easy to dilute in the machine, and works quick.

Purchased from reviewing previous reviews and this solution did NOT meet my needs.I'm cleaning heavy soiled stained areas of dog urine. I had to clean 3x before really seeing or smelling results. I believe if it was just a recent pet accident or small oops it would work fine.The solution ran thru my machine perfectly and not soapy and thick. Didn't make the carpet hard or stiff to vacuum once the carpet was dry. The smell is ok and not over powering but I was in a pretty spacious area. If your using in an apartment then this is will work perfectly well. Once the final third cleaning the dog decided to urinate on my clean carpet again. The protection from the cleaning made it so much easier to clean keeping the appearance of the fresh clean carpet!Overall works excellent for smaller rooms of current accidents but NOT for heavy soiled larger rooms. I will purchase again to do a quick refresher of the carpet to keep up maintenance.

Works great! Great quality! Easy to use, bottle doesn't leak and cleans your carpet and upholstery like a charm.

I bought this because it was cheap and because the next cheapest option (OxiClean carpet solution) just didn't smell right to me. I've used the OxiClean for the last 3 months to maintain my carpet and cloth furniture and while it worked great (carpet/fabric would be soft and clean) I found it to be pretty unpleasant smelling during the drying process.This cleaner does NOT have that problem, I'm relieved to say. It smells floral and noticeable but it's not very powerful a smell - which is great, because it won't completely cover up any lingering stink from, say, your cat being determined to vomit at least once a month on something that you love. That means you'll be able to tell when it's actually clean and not just fragranced. A huge win in my book, personally. Clean-wise, it works just as well as the OxiClean, it hasn't damaged my carpet, cloth furniture, or even the weird suede-like mystery fabric that's on my futon.So it's cheaper, smells better, and works just as well as anything else I've found. You'll still want to go for a more expensive product for really intense dirtiness (I'd recommend the Shark combo pack) but this is the way to go for basic upkeep and less intense messes.
