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

For the price, this is hands down the best carpet cleaner I’ve found. It cleans fabrics incredibly well and leaves behind an amazing fresh scent that actually lasts for weeks, not just a few hours. With a young son, spills are just part of everyday life. Juice, snacks—you name it. I used to get upset when something hit the carpet, but now I don’t stress at all. I know this cleaner has my back. It removes stains easily and leaves carpets and furniture smelling so good that it’s honestly satisfying to use. Busy house, busy life—and this stuff keeps everything looking and smelling like new. Highly recommend if you want great results without spending a fortune.

*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!

Used it in an area that my cat decided to use as her toilet. Works ok but could not completely eliminate the odors. Could be due to the amount of urine present. :(

I’ve used many different carpet cleaners in the past, and I wasn’t sure if I should try this one because it was so much cheaper. I decided I would try it and received the next day. The scent was not strong at all which I prefer over sone of the other brands. I was pleasantly surprised at how clean my area rugs are after using this product. Highly recommend.

Worked great, has a pleasant but definitely not strong or overwhelming scent. At like half the price of the major brands I’m perfectly happy with this.

Works really well, has removed some old soil previous cleaners didn't !! .Light scent that leans toward citrus but very faint.Just a clean scent.I don't like strong scented carpet cleaners so this fills the bill.Dilution rate is less as well for good results.

I'll be honest, I was really excited to try this Amazon Basics carpet cleaner because I've heard great things about the brand. And it does work well - I used it on a tough wine stain on my couch and it came out almost completely. The fresh scent is also a nice touch, it's not overpowering like some other cleaners I've used. However, I'm really disappointed with the bottle design. The cap is super loose and I swear it's been leaking all over my storage room. But the real kicker is that my particular bottle has a weird sediment at the bottom that doesn't mix with the rest of the cleaner, no matter how much I shake it. I've used other cleaning products from Amazon Basics before and never had this issue, so I'm guessing it's just a defect with this one bottle. Still, it's frustrating because I don't know if it's going to affect the cleaner's performance. Despite these issues, I'm still giving this product 3 stars because it does get the job done. I'll just have to be more careful with the bottle and hope the sediment doesn't affect its effectiveness. Maybe I'll just transfer it to a different bottle or something. For the price, it's a decent product, but I expect better quality control from Amazon Basics.

Cleans very well smells way better than most pet stain cleaners but it does foam up quite a bit when it contacts pet urine
