Quick answer
Blot up as much of the mess as possible, then apply Simple Solution Extreme Stain & Odour Remover so it reaches the fibres or carpet backing, and let its enzymes work before wiping. The key is patience: give the product time to break down the stain and odour rather than scrubbing immediately.
Why tough stains need an enzyme approach
Urine, vomit and other pet messes leave proteins and organic residue that ordinary cleaners can spread or leave behind. Simple Solution Extreme contains pro-bacteria producing enzymes, which are designed to help break down that residue and help prevent repeat marking. That makes it a better fit for lingering odours and set-in stains than a simple surface wipe.
The trade-off is time. Enzyme products need contact time to work, so you cannot rush the job. If you need a quick surface clean for a fresh, small spill, a simpler cleaner may be enough. For old or strong-smelling messes, the extra dwell time is worth it.
When to choose a different product
If the stain is on a delicate fabric or a surface that cannot tolerate moisture, check the care label or test a hidden area first. Simple Solution Extreme is formulated for stain and odour removal, but no product is suitable for every material. For very fresh, small accidents where odour is not a concern, a lighter cleaner may be sufficient and faster.
Step-by-step: using Simple Solution Extreme on tough pet stains
- Remove solids and blot excess liquid: Pick up any solid waste with a paper towel or bag, then press a clean towel firmly onto the stain to absorb as much liquid as possible. Work from the outside in to avoid spreading the mess. Checkpoint: the more liquid you remove now, the less the product has to work through.
- Test a hidden area first: Apply a small amount of Simple Solution Extreme to an inconspicuous spot and wait a few minutes. If the colour or texture changes, do not use it on that material. Checkpoint: always test on carpets, upholstery and delicate fabrics before full application.
- Apply the product generously: Shake the bottle and pour or spray enough product to soak the stain and reach the backing or fibres where odour lingers. For carpets, apply until slightly damp, not soaking wet. Checkpoint: use enough to penetrate, but avoid over-wetting, which can cause new problems.
- Let it dwell: Leave the product in place for the time recommended on the label. Do not scrub during this stage; the enzymes need contact time to break down the stain and odour. Checkpoint: set a timer so you do not wipe too soon.
- Blot, do not rub: After the dwell time, press a clean, dry towel onto the area to lift the loosened stain and moisture. Rubbing can push residue deeper into the fibres. Checkpoint: use a fresh towel for each blot to avoid redistributing the mess.
- Allow to air dry completely: Let the area dry naturally. If odour persists after drying, repeat the application once. Do not cover the area with furniture or rugs until fully dry. Checkpoint: a second application is often more effective than using a larger amount the first time.
