Arm & Hammer Pet Fresh Dry Carpet Cleaner, Stain and Odor Remover Powder, Absorbs Allergens and Pet + Child Safe, 18 Ounce

We’re struggling with 6 year old carpet, having three dogs and one cat. We’re replacing this carpet this year, but meanwhile — UGH! I’ve tried a ton of cleaning/freshening solutions, but dry powder overall works best to deodorize, while not degrading the backing further.This product in particular is far and away the best at lifting pet hair. It requires that you brush it in, then wait a few hours or more (you’ll see it turn white again when it’s ready). It smells great, but not super perfume-y.I vacuum it up with a shop vac because allergens deep in the carpet are a concern here - but a normal vacuum gets it just fine.I use it in my car, also. I apply it the night before, and then vacuum it up at the car wash the next day.If you’re looking for something to get stains out, this isn’t what you need. It can fade stains by getting rid of sticky dirt, but it’s not going to magically erase spots where the carpet fibers have actually been “dyed”.It doesn’t go very far. This is honestly a pretty spendy solution. You’ll need almost one whole container per room. However, it can be used whenever and makes a huge difference for pet smells and other kinds of lingering “funk.”

Much better than the Resolve product. Cleans way better. Why they started charging $33 is beyond me. Is it because it is no longer manufactured?

This is a great addition to my at-home pet clean up arsenal. It really can help with dog hair/stains/refresh. In my home, it's not urine or feces. It's vomit. I have a Beagle for whom everything is edible. Follows squirrels around backyard as they dig up their fall "harvest" of nuts. Let's just say that can make a dog sick. Puke.Bought this and got it delivered QUICKLY from Amazon. My impressions:1. Ease of use- be diligent w/instructions. If you put too thick of a layer down, even brushing won't stop residue on other floor surfaces/vacuum.2. The odor is pleasant.3. Stain removal: Not commercial but great for household. It is difficult to remove wet vomit and wait a day for this product.That's why I'm suggesting this as a pet stain/odor removal product that should be at your fingertips, if and when you need it.

I absolutely love arm and hammer products. They're usually very effective, smell decent, and are a good price point. I've never seen this in stores before but I found it here so I thought I'd give it a try. I was worried from other reviews with it opening during shipment but my lid did come with a piece of tape keeping it closed. The powder itself is really chunky and the opening is huge so it's hard to sprinkle it out without getting too much or too little. I tried it on 3 of my biggest stains. 1 stain is just from dirt and mud which worked ok. You can still see some dirt but I think if I repeated the application it would take out more. The other 2 stains are from my dog throwing up. The more recent stain came up almost flawlessly however the stain thats about 2 weeks old didn't really come out. You can see it helped but it didn't fully come out like the other stain. I like that this is safe around animals and kids and it's a very mild smelling powder. I'm not 100% sure I'd purchase it again tho

You can see the difference in the pictures I posted!! I used a whole bottle for this rug, so I wish it were just a little cheaper. Otherwise, nothing to complain about!Pros:1. Smells so good, all rugs need this boost of freshness!2. Easy to apply. Yes, it doesn't have a "shaker" but honestly, if you just shake it as you are applying it, it's no problem. If too much comes out, you can always brush it to another area.3. Easy to vacuum up. So much easier to clean rugs this way than with water and soap! It took me like 15 minutes to apply + brush, then another 10 to vacuum.Will be buying more in the future!

When one of our dogs first developed diabetes, he started having so many accidents in the house (an early warning sign your dog might have diabetes) I was worried the carpets could not be saved. It was so foul, I was looking into the cost of having someone come in and shampoo the whole basement, maybe perform an exorcism too. I’d been scrubbing every spot I could find with Resolve and a carpet brush, but the smell was still overpowering. I decided to get some of this powder before dropping major cash on machinery or professional services and could not be more impressed with the results. I wish the canister had a shaker lid or something, but it worked okay without. I would pour a little at a time by hand and brush it into the carpet, leave it for a bit, and then vacuum. It’s not quick work, but there are no quick solutions for a urine-soaked carpet, and it’s a lot less expensive than anything else I could think of. I am going to keep this stuff in stock for as long as we have pets. Even though my little diabetic dog has regained bladder control, it’s only ever a matter of time before one of the dogs does something gross in the house. Thank god for this stuff!

I was skeptical when I first opened this product and saw the texture of the powder. I sprinkled it on my rugs, brushed it in with a soft-bristle cleaning brush, and left it to dry for 30 min. I think the brushing helped to pick up a lot of cat hair that was stuck in the rug, which was an added bonus. It was easy enough to vacuum out and left my rugs softer and brighter than they have been in a long time. The only negatives were that the powder does fly everywhere when you're brushing it in, so I was trying not to inhale any. Some scattered off the rug and my vacuum had trouble picking it up for some reason. Overall, very happy with this product.

No filter or anything so it comes out in clumps also I didn't realize you have to rub it into the carpet..so that's hard to do especially when it's inconsistently spread out. Weird. Will go with a different product next time. It smells good though.
