The Hoover carpet cleaning works wonders in our household! We have two cats and a dog. Lots of messes to clean up! We used this a week ago and still smell the cleaner and no animal smells! It definitely worked wonders on our carpet and removed the mess immediately. Our rooms look cleaner, smell better and no stains on the carpets! Easy to shake and add to the shampooer. My house feels clean, dirt free, mess free and smells so good!
