May anybody advise? How should I use this stuff to get the best results? I have 2 problems: dirty old-looking carpets and old pet stains. Thank you!

This stuff is wonderful for newer stains and to prevent urine odor but from experience I can tell you that while older carpet stains will be improved, eventually you just have to replace the carpeting. It is a great product, but you do have to use it several times to help with older stains.

I would suggest on the old pet stains to pour a generous amount out of the bottle and then with an absorbent rag, rub the areas really vigorously until you can't get any more liquid out of the carpet. Then I would suggest using a rug cleaning machine, put some of the product in the water/soap reservoir to clean the entire carpet. Hope it works for you like it did me. Results may vary due to age of stains and make of carpet.

For the best results, you should use this immediately after the carpet is soiled. I'm not sure if it will work on old pet stains.

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.

Sorry... I have dogs only. I did notice that Fizzion works best on NEW dog stains but NOT well on set-in stainsGood luck!

I steam cleaned the carpet then sprayed. I had a little less than half the bottle left over when I was done with a 1900 sq ft condo. 90% carpet. I may not have put it on thick enough though. I went slow but not super slow when applying. Also, it really didn't seem to work anyway. Had some watered down rust inside an outdoors chair and when I brought it thru the house it dripped on the carpet. Didn't do a thing to protect it and can't get it out of the carpet now. Sprayed near the doorways extra because of the high traffic area.

I have removed every kind of carpet stain w/o a problem. This stuff seems to wonrk on anything! However, soot was not one of them. I would think it would work just fine. If not, my mother used to use a solution of a baking soda paste & rinse water on soot, blotting dry w/old towels! (Just a thought)

Hello Jennifer, this product gets rid of the smell (Really! It doesn't hide the smell, it completely gets rid of it!) and deters the pup from peeing there again. It also gets rid of cat vomit stains. I love this product! It also fades urine stains on carpets and hardwood. Be sure to dilute the solution if you are using a steam machine otherwise the parts you've spot cleaned will be cleaner looking than the rest of your rugs/carpet. It's a life saver! I can invite people over and not have to worry about the smell because there is none!!

Its been years since I used rug doctor. I found it was a sloppy mess. I used the powder stuff they have on the floor and could not smell dust or that dirty smell after using it as directed.I hope this helps!

For me, it doesn't work as well on my carpet with existing stains. I think it is because I used another product prior to Fizzion. The stain was locked in. Works great for hairball stains. I use it on anything tracked in that gets in my carpet. Follow directions for pet stains though.

That's like bleach. It will roin your carpet. Looke for carpet shampoo! This not the right product!

It's very important to apply the cleaner (such as Natures Miracle brand enzyme cleaner) and LET IT SET! The enzyme action is a process, and that process takes time. Drench the stain, I mean POUR IT ON; let set overnight (the longer the better but probably better not to let it dry up). Then do your scrubbing (Quik n Brite works great) or your steam cleaning, or direct your Rug Cleaning Pros to the area... You won't see or hear from that stain again, nor will kitty find the spot to re-offend.

I love this product !!! It works on new stains as well as old, dry stains. To remove old, dry stains I mist the stain with water (mist only to moisten the top layer; do not moisten down to the pad ). Let stain sit a little while and then continue using the product as though the stain was new.

Try a small region first, I have had no problems with product, However I have white wool rugs so color change has not been an issue. But the product is one of the best I have ever used. I find if you let the spill ( cat through up ) dry first then scrape off the surface, then vacuum first then apply product. works great, stain come's right to the surface then just blot away.

It did not dry clean my carpet. I finally resorted after using it to no avail to carry the carpet to the driveway, hose it down and put bricks underneath it and turn on three fans low to the ground to dry it over two days. My carpet was a large area rug made of a grass like stuff. Since I soaked the whole thing I saw no sign of a water mark and the stains were much better as I scrubbed them with a broom while it was soaked! Good Luck!

From previous research, owning another brand and then use of this one, I definitely give this one a thumbs up. It is not something that lifts out stains which you should know by the description of how it works but it does a good job for that which is stated. Excellent on ceramic floors, much easier than a mop. Since you have a small dog I would like to mention that it is also great on carpets. I add a drop of pure essential oil specific to my purpose, sometime fragrance, sometimes to disinfect. It steams the carpet but does not leave it wet. Great for fending off any potential mold, fleas, germs, etc. Hope this helps answer your question.

I vacuumed the carpet, then sprayed the spot(s), let sit for 30 seconds (give or take) and wiped up with a clean cloth. Super easy and worked wonders on dried grease, pet stains, hot chocolate and blood (from a sudden bloody nose). This was well over a month ago in high traffic areas and no resurfacing of the stains.

I didn't do any specific pretreating. I did do several passes on particularly problematic areas and will continue to do so. My primary rug is a very light off white, over my large active dogs reside and live. Some stains basically come out over extended times and repeated cleanings. Once I purchased a rug cleaner rather than renting one, the carpet has slowly improved in cleanliness over the last couple of years.
