I 1st experimented with the Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner on a cat vomit stain. I was a tiny skeptical about the directions not to scrub the stain, but surprisingly the spot disappeared without me obtaining to touch it! I made a decision to give the cleaner a try out on the “mystery spot” in our living place this is a spot that has been there for a number of months and has no apparent resource. Other cleaners have failed to remove it, despite repeated attempts. I sprayed Clean + Green, crossed my fingers, and allow it dry. The stain is gone! I’m astounded. I can not wait to use the rest of my samples all more than the house. :)
