Does it also get rid of odors? My dog peed on the throw rug, and I got rid of the rug, but I still smell a faint odor on the Pergo.

I don't have dogs so I really can't the dog question, but I can tell my house after I wash my wood floors with PolyCare. I have wood end tables and coffee table and I use PolyCRe on them. It has a Google clean smell. I absolutely love the product.

I'd suggest calling them. As the owner of two of these, my guess would be that if the odors are just in the air, then, yes, If the smells have been absorbed by carpets, furniture and so on, probably not. I find these units do give the air a bit of a smell but it's mild and certainly not perfume.

Everything has a smell. I do and you do (that is why our dogs can find us in the dark). Thus the question becomes: How sensetive is your odor sensor? Therefore, yes, I am certain that it does have a smellHave I smelled it? I am sure that I must have even if I am not aware of it.

Well, my dog doesn't have a marking problem, but my cat had a habit of peeing in the same place if for some reason she didn't want to use the litter box or access to the litter box was blocked, and I feel pretty confident that this removes all trace because after I started using this she stopped going back to the same spot and started using her box again. Before I was cleaning the floor up with just about every cleaning solution you can imagine and it didn't seem to help, she'd just keep returning to the scene of the crime. As for the smell, it smells like a mild cleaning solution. It definitely isn't terrible, I've never been bothered by it.

Haha! No, I haven't noticed a wet dog smell...BUT, I have a dog and sometimes he smells, so I'm probably not the best candidate to answer that question. Also, I purchased the unit because we had a musty odor in our old house and I was concerned about mold. It took away the musty odor completely and I swear I slept better once I started using it in my bedroom. My only concern with the unit is that it can make this crazy shaking sound if it gets bumped or moved, and then requires some finessing to get it "back on track." It's also gigantic. Other than that, it's a fantastic air cleaner for the price. Hope any of this helps.

Leave it alone....this product uses enzymes that work afterward, leaving a smell for a day or two if its too badly saturated with urine, but the smell WILL go away after it finishes eating at the "mess" (literally). I have used Nature's Miracle on an apartment I was cleaning that had badly soaked carpets, and the day after, you could barely walk into the house, because the odor of the urine and an "alcohol smell" that is a byproduct of the enzymes doing their work, but after the second day, ALL of the smell was gone, and the carpets looked like new. This stuff works, but people need to know, this is ENZYME based, not chemical or soap based, so it takes TIME to do its job, but it WILL do it, and do it well. Think of enzymes as little critters that live off of urine, blood, and feces, and will eat and eat until they have nothing else to eat. After a couple of days, you can clean the carpets again to get rid of any remaining traces that may be left, but if you don't give this stuff time to do what it does, you are just wasting your money (like the guy that called in the "pros" afterward...all they did was soak up the enzymes that were already doing their job, then probably putting more on there along with some sort of chemical deodorizer that seals the urine into the carpet and padding so you couldn't smell it, which in return, will not allow enzymes or anything else from that point on to remove what urine they sealed in). So...use this stuff, then, LET IT SIT AND DO ITS JOB, even if its for a couple of days, it will work, DO NOT RINSE, after a few days, re-clean the carpet if you like, but don't do it BEFORE ITS DONE WORKING!! The added smell means its doing its job, not that it didn't.

When I first got it, it WAS to use outside, in the small enclosed area the dogs had when they were out by themselves. It was part concrete & part grass, and it completely got rid of urine smell. I've since used it inside on carpet occasionally just to get rid of the doggy odor that sometimes gets into the carpet. Works well for me both inside & out. Hope this helps!

Mine had a very very very faint plastic smell, not an odor. A day after setting it up, it was completely gone. The dog loves it!

I could never get my dogs to use it. Even after I put a paper towel with urine on the pad. I would imagine you would need to clean it each day so it won't smell.

It worked for me with tile and I had used numerous other products. This is the only one that got rid of the smell for good. I haven't tried it on carpet, but it's worth a try.

I have never had that issue before, but this works very well with dog urine odor. You might want to mix it a little stronger or perhaps use full strength. the people with the company are pretty helpful, they might have more info. But this is pretty effective, with Eco 88 one of the two best I have used. And I have quite a bit of experience with cleaning up accidents. It even works on my hard wood(unsealed) floorGood luck, you might need to make sure that you get it in the crevices too.

I will try my best to help, but I think that it maybe because it has isopropanol (an alcohol) that could damage the stain/varnish/paint on the wood. I really use it on lush carpet and a quick wipe on my kitchen laminated floor, spray just a little in a small area, and wipe it dry quickly (I have tested it before in a small spot and saw no immediate effects). For my 3 dogs it removes any urine odor and they do not keep peeing in the same spot. I have no idea about cats. Hope this answers your question.

It seems to depend on the concentration of the urine and also the dog .. I had one dog who did not repeat it in the same spot and another who did . It is not perfect but it is the best I have found .. It is important to follow the directions though and be patient . It has cleaned up messes on white carpet for me . You might have to go back and repeat it ..

I know this product for me, removed the urine odor completely for me, but I bought a no no spray type (to discourage from going again) after I cleaned just to be sure they didn't go back. I know cats and dogs will go back to same spot because they smell their urine. I can't smell anything at all after using this, but their noses are stronger! But so far so good for me, cleaning with this and spraying a no pee spray once it dried.

When the pet marks it's spot, it's not only the carpet but the padding under the carpet that gets sprayed. Try the water on a little spot first to make sure it won't effect the color( it's strong when it is very fresh, on delicate things I sometimes wait for 5 or 6 min. so its not so strong)), I have had good success with it deodorizing, but I never took up the carpet to treat the padding under it. Remarking, well pets have minds of their own, so I sure couldn't say about that.( cats don't like citrus odor) good luck.

We have used ours after our puppy throws up (believe me, it does not smell great) and it refreshes the carpet and the smell goes away. I think to remove the smell you want to be selective in which shampoo you use. We use the Bissell shampoo that came with the machine. I would all suggest to best get rid of the smell, you would need to do a deep cleaning, lots of spraying and then throughly sucking up the water. We also clean the disposal receptacle, the hose and the nozzle after using to get rid of any left over smell in the machine so it is clean when we use it on the next cleaning.

Works well. If you still notice a smell you can try a different cleaner. Like vinegar in just the hot water if you still smell 'dog'. :-) Seems like it takes the smell out of ours - we're a two dog family:-)
