Does this cleaner have the Heatwave Technology, warming the water for max cleaning? I have dog urine on an oriental rug that wasn't found right away

The description says this: "Heatwave Technology Helps maintain constant water and formula temperature throughout the cleaning process." You are supposed to put hot water in the reservoir and I guess it keeps it hot for awhile. I cleaned up dog poo with this thing and there is no evidence a stain (or odor) was ever there.

I believe it it does but it does (I'm not sure) but it's not something I feel really adds to the product as we always plug it in and use it right away. I'm not sure how much heating goes on. We do LOVE this little cleaner as it's very effective and easy to use and clean.

The user manual claims that it heats the water, however it's only about lukewarm coming out of the spray nozzle. If you have good hot water from your faucet, say 130 degrees plus, this will help. It's a good little machine otherwise and should help with your pet stain.

This unit DOES have heatwave technology! There is also portable pet formula (BISSELL 2X Portable Machine Ultra-Concentrated Pet Stain and Odor Formula, 74R7) that you can buy on Amazon that pairs with this machine and will help with pet stains and odors, I suggest purchasing a bottle with your machine to get the cleaning effectiveness for your stain!

I am not sure about those--have not had those issues. But I have used Get Serious on all kinds of pet stains--poop, urine, vomit. It worked great on all those stains and I am assuming it took away the smell: my dog does not return to those sites to do it again!

Towel cabi works great. I used it for massage therapy treatments to heat hand towels and hot stones. Not sure of the actuall temp inside but my I sometimes had to cool my stones down before grabbing then with my bare hands. I was only able to heat about 4 towels at a time. If I put more than 4 towels in at once they would take twice as long to heat up. As for the smell that other people complained about, that only happened once and it was because I left my wet towels in the cabi with the door closed over night and tried to heat them up again the next day. Not a good idea. Over all a great cabi. Definitely recommend!

The Cloud works ok with most odors. But when it comes to pet odors the only purifier that will work for pet odors would be the Summit. The reason is that unit has ozone and ozone will break down the urine odor and penetrate in to carpet and soft materials. But if there is a lot of urine in the carpet and pad you will need to have the carpet steam cleaned to remove a lot of the urine. There will be some in the pad but the purifier put in the room with the worst odor will keep the odor from migrating in to other spaces.

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 ..

When I got my new carpet the man told me to use only hot water, no solution. Solution builds up and stays in the rug to attract more dirt.

I haven't tried that but it sounds like a good idea. It's been awhile since I've needed the product but as I recall, step one is to soak up and remove as much urine as possible, then use the Urine Off to neutralize and leavings. So, if you're carpet isn't drenched already, that might be a good idea. I do know that if you have an area rug, oriental carpet for example, you want to roll it up and clean the hard floor underneath and then clean the carpet.

The Urine Destroyer bottle recommends spot treatment by undiluted product, soaking. If you used it undiluted in a machine, it might work. You would want to avoid heating the product because it uses enzymes that might be destroyed by heat. But...This company makes a list of related products. Try looking online or at PetSmart for other Nature's Miracle products. My local store (Southcenter) carries 6 or 7 different ones. I have Urine Destroyer, Pet Block, and Hard Floor Cleaner to protect new hardwood floors from an elderly dog who doesn't always make it out on time. All three of these products work great.

No, you have to use hot water ... I can tell you that this machine is great . I have a cleaning business and we are using this carpet extractor for small spaces and work like a big machine

No, but through trial and error, I've found that the best solution is half tap water as hot as it can get, and half boiling water. I used this in combination with with Resolve carpet cleaner (1 1/2 reservoir cap fulls), and it did an excellent job cleaning an absolutely grungy path of beige carpet from almost black to indistinguishable from the other areas. Also, the spin brush is overrated - it's good for upholstery, but use the standard brush on stairs.

If your dog likes warm water the unit would be perfect and it should help clean boots etc. Not sure about the carpets.

It does not produce hot water or steam, but I already knew that before I bought it. Regardless, if you put hot faucet water in there it works perfectly fine. This cleaner did wonders on my berber carpeting.

As on any spot, make sure to pretreat with one of Nature's Miracle for cat urine. Then cleaning area with a spray bottle mixture of hot water and shampoo as a temporary fix does work, but make sure to blot the area quite well removing as of as much dampness as possible. But truthfully the action of a rug cleaner is best and there are several "Spot cleaners" on the market that are affordable and work quite nicely. Spray bottles and a sponge just can't get as deep as the urine already had. Using a product to break down the urine is as important as this shampoo, they work hand and hand. But how well you use the shampoo makes all the difference. Again as a quick fix use by hand, but a machine is best.

Robert W. said you need to monitor it as certain carpets react differently to heat. Actually the base of this heater stays cold so that's not a problem. With mine, I put one of those scrap type rugs you can buy for $1-2 under it. And that's only to catch any drips from when I fill it. Then I just toss that rug into the wash. But the heater doesn't do a bit of harm to any carpet.

No it is not that kind of steam cleaner. It you put hot water in it but it would have to be very hot. I love it though it cleans amazingly well. You will need to spend a lot more money to buy an actual steam cleaner that heats the water.

Hi there! I have two dogs, 14 months and 3 months old...and I had a bissell steampro for a while, and it just didn't have very good suction, it seemed to dump the water on the carpet, but not suck it out as well. I just this weekend bought a Hoover Dual V Steam cleaner, and it is TO DIE FOR! I just love it! You can rinse your carpets after you are done shampooing, and when my furry little friend who isn't totally potty trained yet has an accident, I can suck the pee-pee right up first, and then add soap and water to flush it out! It's fantastic! I won't ever go back to the bissell, I love my Hoover Dual V! Right where they come in from the backyard there is always a black mark from dirty paws and dirty hubbie's feet, and it got that awful stain out which was there for a long time...I would definitely recommend it to your for your pets.
