My Experience
I have used Citra Spot to clean pet stains from carpeting and blood stains from clothing. It has superior stain removing power when used according to directions. Unlike some carpet cleaners, you must allow it to set. When cleaning a carpet stain, allow it to soak in for five minutes before blotting. For odor elimination, you are directed to saturate the spot, then let it dry for two weeks. The instructions caution that odor may persist for until it is completely dry.
I didn’t have to wait that long. The citrus scent immediately masked the pet stain smell and it never returned. The scent is soft and clean, not overwhelming, flowery, or chemical-smelling. Compared to other carpet cleaning products I’ve used, the smell was a pleasant change.
As a pre-wash treatment, the instructions say to apply full strength to the stains, allow it to soak in, then wash normally. This worked exceptionally well on a small blood stain on a white t-shirt. I allowed it to soak for about an hour before washing.
