If you're talking about the wood floor under the rug (or the floor itself), I had similar stain problem under my rug. Had floor professionally refinished. Maybe Oxygen bleach could do the job, but really don't know. Try a spot and see if it works.

I'm not sure if you mean the wood under the rug, or the rug itself. If it's the rug, I suggest using Folex Instant Carpet Spot Remover, since that stuff gets out everything very easily! If it's the wood itself then you're looking at more of a long-term water damage scenario, which is a lot harder to deal with. You would have to dry it out, but probably end up having to sand and re-finish that part of the floor. I'm hoping it's the rug, in which case Folex will take it out really fast. I've had no luck with Bio Kleen taking out ANY stains from anything though.

I use CleanAway, which is a detergent based pet cleaner and deoderizer. I also add some fabric softner as the soap left in the rug tends to bring the spot back quicker. The softener cuts the detergent. Can also use vinegar as the softener. Hope this helps

None. Take a WET rag, hydrogen peroxide, and an iron. YouTube it. 1. Pour the peroxide into stain. 2. Put wet rag over 3. Put iron on high WITH STEAM on top of rag (just set it) for 10-30 seconds 4. Blot off- works on tons of stuff! Better for you than simple green nasty stuff too, and works better too!

No, I have owned this machine for many years (Dec 2009) and I have run everything through it. Bleach, Mr Clean, Lysol, Pet Floor, Oxy Clean (dissolved and run through a sieve), TSP, Murphy's (a favorite) and I have used "Dry Foam" (a non-aerosol encapsulating product you mix with water) from the commercial supply house to clean the short pile rugs I have by my doorways. The only things you can't run through it are flammable solvents. I run a clean water rinse through it after I use a corrosive cleaner like bleach before putting the Floormate away. I'm here buying a Floormate as a gift for my sister in law. So my own 4 year old Floormate is still going strong with all of these other cleaning products used.

The other answers you have received today have hit the nail on the head. The Chem-Dry Carpet Stain Extinguisher is the best product we have found to clean up those "messes" left by our dog. Follow R.C.'s and E.C.G.'s advice and you will love the product too with the purchase of your first bottle. Good Luck, JH

We use Bi-o-kleen's Bac-Out. It's an enzyme-based, organic cleaner that pulls out pet stains (and spit up carrot baby food) with no trace left. Bac-Out is completely safe for pets and children, and it leaves behind a citrus scent that keeps the kitties away from the spots in the future. You can buy it on Amazon or at most health food stores/health food sections in the cleaning supplies.

I pre-treat with stain remover, use liquid chlorine bleach and laundry detergent in cold water. You will never get the stains out completely but even if stained the pads are clean. What difference could it possibly make?

I'm not sure specifically on cat urine as my cat didn't use the carpet as a potty. But, there was a large spot from the previous homeowner's dog that it did a great job on. I did have to go over it twice (probably because I needed to make sure there was no return of the awful smell). I was quite surprised at how well this cleaning solution worked.

Hi KL, this should work but you may want to use a PreTreat on the stains first. Enzyme action cleaners work well with oil so try the BISSELL 35L6 Enzyme Action Pet Stain and Stink Remover, 22-Ounce on the stain first then use a deep cleaner like the SpotLifter 2x to remove the stain.

Thank you for your question Elizabeth; here are a few tips:1) Remove excess stain or pet urine first, utilizing a highly absorbent towel. 2) Apply a generous amount of pet urine stain remover to the affected area and allow to stand. For tough odors, both carpet and underlying pad must be thoroughly treated. Allow to stand 60 min. 3) Fold the towel and lay it on the treated area allowing it to absorb the excess liquid out of the carpet pad.4) Once dried, inspect, and then vacuum the treated area. If stain and odor remains, repeat the above procedure.

1/2 cup borax is a good cleaner. Also Seventh Generation and Mrs. Myers makes carpet shampoos that are earth-friendly. Drugstore.com might have some other all natural cleaners. White vinegar is good, as is alcohol. Simple green is an excellent cleaner (adjust amounts, start with 1/3 simple green and 2/3 water and go from there) Oxy-clean is good (not sure about non-toxic), but THE VERY BEST pre-treater is Castor & Pollux OUT SPOT! All natural, and great stain and odor remover, second would be biokleen BAC-OUT stain and odor eliminator, natural, non-toxic and biodegradable (live enzyne cultures and lime peel extract) both are available from drugstore.com and various other places. I stay well stocked on both! Cathy

Honestly, I've noticed that this product is great in stain removing capabilities only. This is the main reason I purchase this product for it's "oxy" cleaning benefits. However, I've been adding another product "Zero Odor" on top of this to eliminate the odor. The "Zero Odor" product claims its' odor eliminating capabilities at the molecular base. So far the "Zero Odor" product is helping in eliminating the odor. Check out the "Zero Odor" website (zeroodor.com) and see if it would work for your situation. Good luck.

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 don't totally understand the question, but if you want to remove stains try using Barkeepers Friend.

I've heard "no." A little dab will do ya if using OxiClean to make a paste with water and get out a dark stain, but I understand that OxiClean will bleach/lighten up the carpet and in a steam cleaner you really can't control a consistent carpet lightening.

Hello Michael! I used it in our pantry, which has a wood side cabinet and wood mouldings that were soaked with cat urine. I had to mis it and spray apply it twice. The cat had peed in here for several years (bladder condition). The mixing directions are on the bottle. I can't remember the proportions, but I just followed the package directions. We had tried Nature's Miracle, hydrogen peroxide, bleach, another urine treatment that I can't remember what it was-- all to no avail, but Nature's Secret worked!!! I used a spray bottle and applied twice. Goodbye urine smell. Hope that helps, Michael.
