Which one for dog vomit ??????
I'd like to see a similar test with a UV light, especially with the enzyme cleaners.
I second this!!! That would be VERY helpful! Although I’m wondering if putting an enzyme cleaner in a carpet shampooer, would the heat from the machine keep the enzymes from working full strength?
Same. Enzyme cleaner vs cat pee. I've been using amazon enzyme cleaner, curious to know if it's the best.
@@neonnoir9692 how good does the amazon enzyme cleaner get rid of the stains under UV?
@@dippo_13i just got it, and am trying. its hard to do cuz urine must be dry to fluoresce. so far oxy cleaners and resolve work faster the first time, but smell may come through on humid or hot days. Enzyme *will* take longer. but theoretically should be more thorough and last longer. just remember no boiling water, chlorinated stuff or disinfectants after the enzyme or you destroy the enzymes
@@threestans9096 I ended up using a product called Go Oxy! It worked well for getting rid of the fluorescent
You should get a UV flashlight and check for stains after the cleaning. I recently got one and was shocked at the stains on my seemingly immaculate carpet.
The stains are still detectable by UV light after being removed.
I've had the best luck with Arm an Hammer's pet stain and odor carpet cleaner. Not sure whether the old UV stains in my rental are pee, vomit, or any other fluids that shine under blacklight though, I've heard pee notoriously leaves behind crystals that embed in the carpet fibers
I don’t think I’ve ever loved a man as much as I love you right now lol you have answered so many prayers for me! Having kittens can be messy! Thank you for putting so much time/attention to detail/resources into your videos! 💜
Regarding the smell. I didn’t test this because I could think of no logical way to fairly measure it. I do know that there was no noticeable smell in the room after treatment, when there definitely was before treatment. I asked my assistant to smell each spot and see what he could discover, but he declined.
😆
See this is actually a really important component of the test missing. If there is any residual smell a dog will repeat that behavior. Believe me from experience, even the best carpet cleaner could still leave behind residual smell. As far as I’ve noticed enzymatic cleaner’s are best at removing the smell and preventing future spotting by dogs. Maybe bring in a dog and see if he peas all over the carpet Hah Hah
@@ranikaj92 Yes, this is true. Also cat pee is worse because of the higher percentage of protein. The enzymatic cleaners are better at breaking down the proteins.
Edit: when I use an enzymatic cleaner, I wet the area thoroughly and then leave a plastic bag, usually a trash bag, over the top of it to keep it wet, and let it sit for 24 hours. Far different from the process used here. Using the enzymatic cleaner in this way, then going over it again with the oxy cleaner, blotting it up, and then going over it again with a steam cleaner might be the ultimate way to remove a stubborn pet stain.
The smell test is a HUGE must! (Maybe next time kindly ask a woman friend to help because we're a lil more inclined to smell weird things than men are. Lol) I swear tho that anything that's labeled for "pet urine" automatically makes the spot smell 10xs worse, not better. Even if the pee stain didn't smell all that bad before, after cleaning it with pet urine remover it smells awful! I actually came here looking for a good cleaner, which I'll totally try the resolve you mentioned, but how it smells afterwards is a huge factor for most people. Honestly, I've just been kinda using a wet rag soaked with dawn dish liquid when my cat pees, ugh, and that seems to have better smelling results than the bottle of bissell pet urine pro something or other we have. That stuff straight up smells like perfumed piss in a bottle! Lol Ugh, it's so bad!
Do you have any tips for deodorizing the spot cleaner machines? After purchasing one based on your reviews, I love it, but after months of cleaning, the thing stinks to high heaven. Washing/sterilizing the wastewater bin doesn't have the desired effect.
Probably your most useful review for me! Using coyote urine wass great setup. Thanks for clarifying this oversaturated market, I've spent way too long reading bottles in store trying to decide which of this was gonna work best for my new puppies accidents. I'm definitely incorporating all your useful tips from this vid
Thank you for conducting these tests. I appreciate that you buy all the products and take your time and tell us your experience.
You are so welcome!
Wow! Super explanations and details. Your efforts surely will help anyone who watches this video.
Great, well thought out testing methods. We appreciate your efforts!
Thank you!
My cat absolutely destroyed my stairs and upstairs carpet with pee, you have no idea how excited I am to see this content.
Which one did you use
Your pick IS a great product. Specifically for dog urine I've settled on 'Out! Pet Care Urine Destroyer.' And although I followed up with my Kalorik vacuum (dry) then wet vac after going back & adding fresh water (instructions). This vacuum can be used for wet or dry clean up. The filtration system is water in the canister.
Talk about dedication and all this info in 6mins! ...Bravo!
Thank you!
I agree on this. Resolve spray, followed by a few passes from the carpet shampoo vacuum, took care of vomit for us. You can't even tell anything happened. I will always have resolve on hand. I used resolved, but couldn't shampoo until 2 days later because I needed a new one. Even after 2 days, the fact that I used Resolve initially helped tremendously!
Sir, my wife has been ripping her hair out trying to solve this car urine situation at our house. I think you just gave us the solution. Thanks for the video!
Thank you and good luck!
Gave me "the solution " too. Haha. Thanks- i had actually chosen the best one, but now see exactly how to use it.
This video was just in time to help with the puppy I brought home! Thank you for doing the hard, stinky work
Thank! Congrats on the new puppy!
The video we didn't know we needed, but the one we deserve.
Fantastic video. Amazing explanation. Great tests. Incredible pacing. Thank you!!
Thank you very much!
I like, that you don't try to get over 10 minutes. Very informative video, thanks!
You're welcome! Thank you!
Thank you! I appreciate your tests!
Looking for which stain remover is best, found your video. I've watched your vacuum videos and it helped in my purchasing of a solid vacuum. This video did the same for the stain remover, I really want to commend you on your thoroughness and just straight forward explanations. I sometimes watch your channel when I'm not even buying a product just because your voice is so soothing. Thank you Vacuum Man!
Well I must be middle age because I love these videos! Lol all of them~ and I use them as guides to buy my cleaning equipment. 👏🏻
Thank you
You missed the important part, how did it do on the smell? I can get the stains out NP but getting rid of the residual smell is the big issue. Did you use carpet padding? Because once the pee gets down to the padding, and it will, a few squirts of cleaner isn't going to reach it. Interesting test and it cheers me up that you came to pretty much the same conclusion I did after a few years of experimenting thanks to an incontinent dog. Resolve spray then carpet cleaner for best results.
I agree with you. I've used that Resolve cleaner and, while it does get the urine stain up, the smell comes back within a week. What finally worked to get rid of the smell was essentially the process he recommended for cleaning up the urine stain with a carpet cleaner but I used the Nature product in the red bottle instead (and liberally) along with the Bissell pro carpet solution.
@@Saiyuna thanks! I've seen that stuff in the red bottle! How long do you leave it?
The proof is in the purrfume 😸
I don’t think any spray will get rid of urine smell. I had to use an ozone generator to get rid of the smell in my house
Omg!!! THANK YOU! This is the only and best review I seen for urine cleaners... didn't want diy... just a good working product to buy.
And on top of that... I'm ordering the carpet cleaner and it's currently on sale on Amazon...
Wow, thanks! Enjoy!
I think these tips will help me clean my carpets more efficiently! Thanks
That is great to hear!
This was wonderful ! I loved how thorough this was. Thank you!
Thanks so much!
Wow, bless you for taking the time to do this.
Thank you!
Youre the best man, I love your testing methodology and getting steaight to the point. Amazing.
Thank you!
I can smell this video from over the pond. I hold you up there with Project Farm for the dedication to your science, very interesting to see the chemicals at work.
Thank you!
I’m so glad you did this!!!
Good video. As a "pet person" with carpet, I have had lots of experience with stains. I find using a high-powered wet/dry vac to suck out the urine and dampness after cleaning to be very effective. I got the idea by watching a professional carpet cleaner clean my carpet. And like Chris mentions, being careful not to spread around the stain when sucking it out. I'd also add that there is no substitute for an occasional visit by a good professional carpet cleaning company. And a pet-resistant underlayment also helps. Coyote urine is worse than cat urine? Ick!!
Thanks for sharing that here!
Lo
Very useful video! Thank you for your hard work in testing all these products.
Thank you!
Thank you for this! Love your videos very well done!
Glad you like them!
Wow! I love this comparison videos, can not stop watching!!
Glad you like them!
@@VacuumWars please keep making comparison videos, it's really nice to see many different products and which one is best of them
The best cleaner is water and vinegar it takes even old pet stains out in seconds! and the smell dissipates within a few hours. But by far the easiest way to get rid of a stain over all types of cleaners I’ve tried
As a servant of 3 cats: I thank you!
I feel this.
🤣🤣🤣 correct way to say cat owner
Thank you for taking the time to make this video
You're welcome and thank you for watching.
I've used the Resolve carpet cleaner Urine Destroyer, and it works wonderfully to remove stains. I use a wet/dry vac instead of "blotting" with a cloth.
That's great!
This guy is a legend! What a great video. Thanks
Thank you!
The timing on this… actual text from my spouse after he cleaned up something our cat barfed up earlier: “Either resolve is god tier or this was relatively wet still”
Hi VW, thanks for the great video! I was wondering if there was a place to see a list of how everything else did? We don't have Resolve stuff in my country- but we have the Nature's Miracle etc. I am dealing with an older dog who is becoming incontinent and from what I can see on the results, it looks like the Bissell stuff is the next next thing to Resolve? I plan to do the spray, gently agitate, blot, then hit it with the Bissell Little Green I have.
My main concern is getting rid of the ammonia smell all over my apartment. There are no visible stains anywhere (at least none that show through my sand-colored carpet.)
It already went through the carpet and soaked into the subfloor. Change the wood subfloor.
Thanks for the review. I just ordered the two you recommended.
Hope you enjoy them!
Great video!
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you too!
This couldn't have come at a better time! I'm cleaning my carpets this weekend and my biggest concern is handling the cat urine. Glad to see these results! Did you notice anything in regards to smell?
I’m wondering about that too.
Keep in mind the pee also soaks down beneath the carpet. The carpet might get the smell out, but the layers and wood beneath won't
You could try Stain Fu.
Thanks for the video
Thank you so much for doing this test! I have two cats & a dog - one of the cats has a lot of hairballs so I'm constantly cleaning but to know there is a better working product out there than what I have is much appreciated, as well as HOW to tackle them.
Could you perhaps do some testing on berber carpet? I have a second level & finished basement that is full of it & honestly, I hate cleaning it - even vacuuming it because of potential runs. I've found my Hoover Elite upright carpet cleaner much better for it than the Bissell Pro-Heat Revolution Pet one that I originally bought.
I can't make any promises right now, but thank you for that suggestion. Thank you!
THANK YOU! Talk about options paralysis, I couldn't figure out what to do and didn't want to have to go through the cleaning process several more times. I had a runner rug rolled up and I was watching my friends dog, it peed on it twice without me noticing so it's full of urine odor and it's rolled up in my garage right now. I got it from an estate sale and it's an amazing rug that would be worth hundreds of dollars to replace so I'm loath to throw it away but I tried to wash it out once with basic shampoo and that DIDN'T WORK!
Thank you for some hope.
I hope it works out!
This is a WONDERFUL review. So informative, thank you for all you do!!
Thanks for watching!
You Sir are amazing!! Love all your videos!! I don't know if its far from your area of expertise, but if you could do one on humidifiers I would absolutely appreciate it!! I trust you.
Thanks! So I don't think that is in the plan right now, but thanks for the suggestion. I love good ideas.
I am in search of a good urine remover and throught to myself, "I wish someone tested and compared the different brands like vacuum wars reviews vacuum cleaners" and boom, now I"m here. Love yout channel!
Great video. In the professional world we don’t use any of those off the shelf brands. And we use a water claw and extract. The other issue is odor.
Yes! I clean carpet as well. Better off with peroxide n water! Also it still glows under black light even when cleaned! Resolve is a no no in professional world! Need water clawed if it’s bad enough.
YESSSSSSSSSS,I needed this one! 😫😫😫😫
If you do use an iron make sure it is not too hot and be careful not to burn or melt the carpet fibers. That is because you will have a spot there that is a lot more obvious than a smelly yellow spot. If the fibers melt there may be a noticeable spot where the carpet texture does not feel the same. Also I would consider using an iron to be an "advanced" step. If you know someone who has a steamer you may want to see if you can borrow that first. With a steamer you won't run the risk of applying 450°F or more to the carpet.
Awesome review as a pet owner this was so helpful 👌👌👌
Glad it was helpful!
Very helpful, thank you!
Omg you are lifesaver!
Well done!
Agree100%. Resolve Carpet & Rug has been what works the best for me for my 2 pit bulls and toothless orange tabby cat. But when nothing else works cheap vodka has never let me down. (For carpet stains I mean. LOL)
gotta keep an eye on that toothless tabby!
Amen to that. @@VacuumWars
At 0:23 it looks like Bissell Pet and Bissell Pro (when following the directions of spraying and blotting) deliver equally good results as the Resolve spray. Plus - Bissell Pet Pro also says it helps to remove odor. Can you comment on this?
I tried the Resolve Carpet & Pet, and it got out stains I’ve had for a long time! Thanks.
Great to hear!
What is your recommendation for cleaning hard floors? I have engineered hardwood and dirt builds up in the grooves my N8 won’t clean.
I’m curious, did you use an upright carpet cleaner to clean and reset the test carpet? If yes, which one?
Great review in less than 10mins 👍🏾
Thank you so much. This is very helpful 🔝🔝🔝
Glad it was helpful!
Not a mention of how well they do on odor, the smell is going to be most people's #1 concern
Considering the urine stains, yes you can remove most of them but unfortunately the main issue is in the pad which carpet that has become heavily or moderately saturated over time will need to be replaced. There is absolutely nothing you can do unless you want to use a product like decon 100 or 200 or a scent stop offered by Mohawk which can remove the smell. Most these products are commercial but can be purchased online.
I've been online searching for the Mohawk Scent Stop and can't find it anywhere. I've called all over even to Mohawk and no one knows or has anything. If you have a link, can you share?

Where Do You Buy The SMELL Remover
You Were Talking About?????
Thanks.....
I know this is a little late but, If I were to use Resolve and put Baking Soda with it. Would that work? I am asking with baking soda because I know baking soda does kill odor and wondering if this could be a extra step I can take? I normally use baking soda when my cat goes on the carpet as you can just sweep up some of it and then vacuum the rest but the stain is still there but the odor really isn't.
Do you recommend shampooing immediately after using the resolve or waiting 24 hours, vacuuming, then shampooing?
I would love to see the same video doen with other stain types like ink, wine, grease, ect.
Which one would you recommend for puzzle foam mat? I have that for my bunny and I’m not sure what to spot clean his urine with.
You are truly a gift to humanity . Thank you for your thorough research!!
I don't even have carpet or rugs in my house but I found this fascinating
Thank you!
Solid video!
Thanks!
Love your videos! For your upcoming 2022 videos, I'm wondering if maybe you could help me find my perfect vacuum - which I'm not sure even exists! I’m looking for a powerful cordless vac that doesn’t put weight on my wrist; that is very zippy, lightweight, and easy to move around; that doesn’t have a roller brush (or has one that is removable without negatively affecting performance or is truly tangle & maintenance free); that has a sealed filtration system, long battery life (and/or ability to purchase another battery and keep it charged separately); bagless preferred but depends on the price of the bags. I would be embarrassed to speak of how many vacuums I have bought and tried over the years and relegated to storage. I have yet to find "the One" and my husband thinks I have a problem at this point. Please help! Looking forward to your 2022 reviews!
Hi. I am moving into an apartment that has a sweet perfume smell in certain areas on the carpet.. specifically along the floorboards in certain areas and two corners in the bedroom. I think the person probably had pet(s) I'm wondering if you know of a product that has a sweet-perfumie smell. I am wanting to get the chemical smell out and or neutralize it some how. Thank you for any help and ideas. Diane
Personally the best way is to over saturate the urine ( about 1.5 to 2 times the amount of urine) and let it air dry.. this will get 98% of the smell and sticky urine substance... You can't really get rid of it 100% because to do that you have to pull up the carpet and treat the subfloor, pad and carpet ... If you want to carpet clean after the enzyme cleaner dries you can.. just you never want to carpet clean an old stain ( had time to dry) because the carpet cleaner will simply spread the urine around... You need the enzyme cleaner.. but if you do not mind the smell of vinegar for about 4 days maybe a week it will destroy the urine smell at a fraction of the price
Excellent video
Thank you very much!
Thanks, but my issue is the stain coming back a week or two later. Have you tested this before? My apologies if you already addressed this.
Also, my pet stains are exposed to sun so may also be heat set. 😢 ugh! I used not Kids & Pets and Folex before using a carpet cleaner w/ Febrez Oxy. Thx
I would be interested to know how the spots smell after cleaning and if the spots get dirty quicker after cleaning because of the "stickiness" of the cleaner being left on the carpet.
I'm sorry to hear that.
Big problem with resolve though. It may be the best in these tests. But it leaves TONS of residue. There is so much foam and soap left in the carpet after using resolve. I found Bissell works almost as well but leaves far less residue.
In my quest to find the perfect cleaner, I recall that it's bad to use heat. As far as organic stains (sweat, grass, blood, urine, food etc) heat 'bakes' in the stain/odor. Really the few people that should use hot water wash are mechanics or people treating an outbreak of some sort (fungus, lice, fleas, etc) as about half of dryers do not get hot enough to deal with these issues.
did you try soaking some of the urine up? before trying anything else. Seems that would help. instead of leaving it and then adding cleaner to it.
I think it would be interesting to tell if using a chemical pretreatment would reduce the efficacy of enzyme cleaners.
Same advice my Granny gave me years & years ago when I asked her about other carpet stain removal (non-urine). Back then I thought to myself that surely she was wrong, Silly me,,,I failed to take into account the woman always had white carpet in @ least 1 room of her home and had a dozen grandchildren in her home & then the great-grandchildren too. In a relatively short timeframe afterwards, I discovered she was correct but unfortunately not before she passed from this life.
What’s the best cleaning solution. To put inside the carpet cleaner ???
This was awesome lol thanks!!
You bet!
Something I have found to be even better are professional car detailing products, though the same can probably be said for professional carpet and floor cleaning products.
Could you please redo the carpet cleaner solution with urine as well? Watched that video about 10 times now whenever I have to order more cleaner. If you could do separate swatches of carpet to then test the left over urine smell.
7JAN22, stock for resolve carpet cleaner went through the roof.
Really interested to hear your take on new roborock s7 vmax with mop cleaning base
Me too! I am waiting for it's release like everyone else.
Wow I just bought two (1) gallons ones cause my dog is crazy just yesterday
I’ll be surprised how this goes
great stain test - but it's the smell that's key. it get's into the pad - a spray to remove the stain, sure. but the enzyme has to get into the pad.
Oh my god I forgot you had those skin like colored gloves on and at 1:15 i really thought you just went for it bare😂
First video I’ve seen from your channel but it’s very informative. Definitely subscribing and seeing what else you’ve tested! I appreciate it so much, I really do!
Thank you!
Would you ever do a dishwasher review? Love your videos!
I don't have a set up for that , but I agree that would be cool. thank you!
What’s the best for odour I moved into a very stinky rented house , it’s so strong
So we can use spot cleaner after ploting no need to wait 24 hours?
I wonder which one best removes the smell.
I noticed the face mask. That says everything I need to know about coyote urine potency!
No joke!
Thank you !!!!!!
you're welcome! thank you for watching!
Why… tell me why im listening this channel..? I don’t have animals, I don’t obsess over vacuums but.. I love it. Its weird. I guess i’ll just go with the flow
