AmazonCommercial Multi-Purpose Enzyme Cleaner, Stain & Odor Remover, Pet Stain Remover, 1-Gallon, 1-Pack

I have to admit, I ordered this product as a last resort. I had tried every “home hack” I knew to clean and deodorize bedding and furniture in a furnished room I rent out in my home. One of my “short term” tenants got stuck here in the US because of the pandemic. Not only could he not go back home overseas, he had to work remotely from home. 16 months, 24-7, he hibernated in one room. Every time he opened the door, I could smell his distinct body odor drift out, down the hall. It wasn’t that he was unclean, it was just that his body odor had permeated everything. I knew I was in for a challenge. When he moved out, I spent three days cleaning floors, walls, furniture, and laundering bedding. I soaked the bedding in vinegar and water overnight, washed it repeatedly, but all of it still smelled like him. Even painted surfaces, after being washed down, smelled like a men’s locker room. I thought I was going to have to throw out all the bedding, a fabric task chair, and paint the inside of the closet. I began researching odor removal and came across enzyme cleaners. Amazon’s own brand is an absolute steal at under $20 per gallon. I couldn’t find much in the reviews on laundering, but figured I had nothing to loose by trying. If this didn’t work, I would have to replace a comforter, duvet cover, shams, sheet set, mattress protector, task chair, and paint. I soaked the comforter in a washing machine tub of cool water with 2 1/2 cups of the enzyme cleaner overnight. Not only did it come out smelling fresh, it was bright white, like brand new...the same with the mattress cover. All the other bedding I soaked separately for a minimum of 6 hours. ALL OF IT came out smelling clean and new. No odor, no discoloration from body oils. I was blown away. Hard surfaces I washed down with a 50/50 mix of water and enzyme cleaner. The smell was immediately gone. The task chair had a fabric covered foam seat. It was the worst of everything. It could smell up a whole room by itself with no supporting players. I saturated the seat cushion with about 1 1/2 cups of straight cleaner and mushed it until it foamed up like a sponge full of detergent. I just left it outside to dry; and voila, odor gone the next day when it was dry. I found the product pleasant smelling. Any product after smell disappeared after 3-4 days. I am so impressed by this product! I even used it to clean my stinky kitchen sink drain. Poured a couple cups in when I went to bed, let it sit overnight, rinsed through in the morning. Fresh as a daisy now! Yesterday, I washed a goose down feather comforter that had been used by a previous tenant that had retained body odor and body oil discoloration after cleaning. I soaked it overnight with the enzyme cleaner added to the water. It’s now bright white and smells fresh. Great product, great value.

Very happy with this enzyme cleaner. Simple, no unnecessary ingredients, at a good price for a good amount of product. So far I’ve used this to clean my drains, and maybe unconventionally for my laundry. I’m pretty passionate about clean clothes, and was frustrated with the lack of cleaning I was getting from my old name brand detergent. After going down a rabbit hole and finding the laundry subreddit I confirmed what I’d suspected all along, the soaps I was using just weren’t effective for the cleanliness I was trying to achieve. No matter how many times I washed and rinsed my clothes still felt like they had residue on them, and some items were still left with a funk. Enter enzymes. Soap alone wasn’t breaking down the residue left on our clothing from skin oils, lotions, and deodorants. After swapping to a powdered detergent, adding in a citric acid rinse, and this enzyme cleaner, my clothes finally come out of the dryer smelling like nothing. When I go to toss them in the dryer there’s no film left clinging to the fabric, and my drawers of clean clothes don’t start to smell musty after being cleaned only a week before. I know this is an off label use of this product, and I’m not encouraging anyone to just go dumping the stuff into their washer without doing some research to see if it’s right for them. But for me, I’m so very grateful Amazon has this product, if I would’ve had to purchase laundry specific enzyme products the price would’ve been 5x and I would’ve gotten half as many uses. But also for anyone reading this, buy a bulk bag of citric acid and start adding 1-2T to your rinse cycle to help get rid of the excess soap water just can’t tackle on its own. You’re welcome

Highly concentrated , has no chemical smell, works great on our wood floors and rugs as I bought it mainly for our pet smells. Hasn’t compromised rugs, couches or floors negatively! Highly recommend

I’ve been using the Amazon Commercial Multi‑Purpose Enzyme Cleaner Stain & Odor Remover 1‑Gallon mainly for pet accidents and general cleaning. My experience has been a bit mixed. The cleaner comes in a large one-gallon bottle, which is great value for the price since it lasts a long time. It has a mild, slightly chemical or degreaser-type scent in the bottle, but it doesn’t leave any lingering smell on fabrics after washing. For odor removal, it works very well. I have dogs, and it removes the smell of dog urine extremely well, especially from washable rugs. I usually wash the rugs normally and then add this during the softener cycle for the final rinse, and it takes care of stubborn odors that detergent alone doesn’t remove. For stain removal, it works fairly well but not perfectly. It helps break down organic stains, but on my tile floors it sometimes leaves light streaks, so I occasionally need to wipe the area again with water. The liquid itself is cloudy and watery, easy to pour and spray. It doesn’t leave a sticky residue and rinses away easily. Overall, I really like the odor-eliminating power and the fresh scent, but it isn’t flawless as a floor cleaner because of the occasional streaking. Still, considering the large size, effectiveness on pet odors, and reasonable price, it’s a good value if your main goal is eliminating pet smells rather than heavy stain removal. Update after 6 months of use: If you’re dealing with pet urine, this works incredibly well on fabrics — but I wouldn’t use it on tile floors. I’ve dealt with urine smells that come back even after washing, especially with pee pads, so finding something that actually eliminates the odor completely has been difficult. For laundry and washable items, this has been a game changer. It’s the only product that fully removed strong, concentrated urine odors from my washable pee pads when nothing else worked — not vinegar, baking soda, or specialty cleaners. I add about ⅓ to ½ cup to the softener tray during the rinse cycle, and for heavier odors I run 2–3 rinse cycles. I get the best results with warm water, especially for lifting residue and odor. No lingering smell at all — even up close. Pee pads stayed fresh for the full two weeks between rotations. The cleaner itself has a mild degreaser-type scent in the bottle, but leaves no fragrance, chemical smell, or residue on fabrics after washing. No fading and no skin irritation. For stains, I’ve had the best results by pre-treating the dry area first, then washing as usual. Fresh stains come out easily, and older ones come out fully — they just require extra rinse cycles. For tile floors, it’s not the right tool. I tested it both diluted and at full strength on matte and glossy dark tile. It doesn’t fully remove stains or odors, and the greasy residue it leaves is difficult to clear — you can feel slight stickiness when walking on it. It took multiple mop cycles with clean water plus a regular floor cleaner to fully remove. It’s not a one-step solution for floors — it creates more work than it solves. Bottom line: ✔ Buy it for laundry, rugs, bedding, and pee pads — it delivers. ✖ Skip it for tile floors and grout — the residue alone makes it not worth it.

Long review ahead! I moved into my grandmother’s old house. Her male cats used to mark certain spots in the house on the carpet. She would shampoo the carpets and you couldn’t smell any kind of urine smell, until it got warm outside or if it is one of those wet, muggy days. Of course, I moved in with two dogs and they started peeing in the same spots. It has 100% soaked into the rug, padding and most likely the subfloor. I know I need to pull the carpet, I just can’t quite afford it yet, so I have tried EVERYTHING. Hydrogen peroxide, Bissel Pet Cleaner, vinegar, baking soda, dawn dish soap, Oxy Out, Clorox Pet Urine Remover, Nature’s Miracle, HEP…. Nothing fully got the smell out on those hot days. I got this as a “last resort before I bite it and just replace all the floors”. I had low hopes. In the spots that were one or two time accidents that I previously ran the Bissel Pet Pro carpet cleaner over, you could still smell a little bit of urine. I put this in a spray bottle, soaked the area, let it sit and then sucked it up with the shampooer. It did decrease the smell, but not all of it on the first time around. I let it dry, then poured it directly on the stain, saturating the area, and then used a dollar tree scrub brush and really got at it. I let it sit for 24 hours and was mortified, there was huge brown “stains” everywhere I scrubbed. To my surprise, the “stains” came right up with the shampooer. In the not urine saturated spots, you can no longer smell urine AT ALL. I also used this directly in the shampooer. There was a red vomit stain from one of the dogs I have tried to get out for MONTHS. Using this solution, it came right up with two swipes of the shampooer! In the more saturated spots, this cleaner did not fully get the urine smell out. I didn’t expect it to, as it is most likely into the subfloor. But I was amazed at how much gunk this stuff pulled up out of the carpet, and it really did decrease the smell on the warm / wet days. I included a picture of one of the highly urine saturated areas, you can see the normal color of the carpet, where I scrubbed and all of the GUNK that came out of the carpet after 24 hours of having it sit. The smell is a very light, not overwhelming, clean minty smell. After about 24 hours, you can’t smell it anymore. Ironically, as everyone does, I poured the “dirty shampooer water” down the toilet and flushed it. I came back to the bathroom about an hour later, and all of the tough hard water stains in the toilet were gone! I didn’t even have to scrub it! I have only been able to get these stains out with Barkeeper’s Friend Toilet Bowl Cleaner. I was AMAZED! I will 100% be buying more of this to keep around for those little accidents, mud stains from the dogs and even to clean the toilet and shower with! My only recommendation: if you have some really stinky areas, get more than one gallon!

As a parent with multiple pets, this enzyme cleaner is a godsend. Enzyme cleaners in general are amazing and have so many uses, but I especially like this one as it not only actually works, but it’s one of the most cost effective enzyme cleaners I’ve come across. You may the able to find some cheaper, but I’ve found they’re not nearly as effective and you end up having to use much more and spending more money anyway. The price for the Amazon Commercial brand enzyme cleaner is very reasonable while also holds up against other more expensive, and maybe more well known brands. “Holds up” may actually be putting it lightly because I find it performs better than most of the other brands I’ve tried. And as someone who owns and fosters cats, I’ve tried a LOT. I use enzyme cleaners for everything from cat urine odors, deodorizing pet bedding, cleaning stinky shoes, getting stink out of gym clothes, removing baby poop stains, food stains from things like berries, even basic home deodorizing like you’d use febreze. I have some pointers and tips for using an enzyme cleaner that I’ve learned over the years. The most important things to remember are; do NOT use any other cleaner before using the enzyme cleaner, and SATURATE. Other products may render the enzymes useless, and enzyme cleaners only work while wet. Now, if you’ve accidentally used other products before the enzyme cleaner, don’t give up hope. Try to soak/clean up the previous product and still give the enzyme cleaner a shot. There’s a decent chance it will still work. And to my second point: saturate, saturate, saturate! Multiple times if needed! Once it has dried, it has stopped working. You may need to saturate multiple for very heavy odors and stains. These are my basic steps for each use: For heavy messes like cat urine: if it’s on something that cannot be washed in a washer or in a bathtub/hose (like carpet, furniture, etc), soak/blot up as much urine as possible. You’re going to want to get as much urine/mess out of the fabric as you physically can. The less urine the enzymes to have to work on, the better. Then you’ll want to SATURATE with enzyme cleaner. You want it to stay wet with enzyme cleaner as long as possible so it can work as long as possible. Like really pour it on. Let it sit for a couple hours at minimum, preferably overnight. Sometimes I add more if it ends up drying too quickly. Then soak/blot again, and smell. Do you still smell urine? If so, saturate, let sit, and blot up again. Repeat these steps until you’re satisfied with the smell. Then at the end, you’ll want to rinse however you are able to. An upholstery cleaner, shampooer, or even pouring some water on and then sucking it up with a shop vac will do. The point is to get as much water rinsed through as you can to remove leftover mess and the enzyme cleaner. You’ll likely not be able to remove all the enzyme cleaner, and that’s fine, but the more the better. For things that can be washed in the washer/bathtub, like laundry, or couch cushions: Rinse out as much as you can with water, then saturate with enzyme cleaner. For things like baby poop stains or smelly gym clothes, I let sit to soak in a bucket with enzyme cleaner overnight. Usually by morning stains/smells are gone. If not I let sit a bit longer. Then I just throw in the washer and dryer as normal. But you’ll want to avoid drying before the stain is removed, or it may be virtually impossible after that. For couch cushions, or other large items, I let soak in the tub and then rinse in the morning. I do another smell test and decide if I need to saturate and soak again. Once I’m satisfied with the smell, I allow to dry in the sun. Since I have many pets, about once a week I take a spray bottle filled with enzyme cleaner and lightly spray fabrics around my house. The couch, rugs, curtains, etc. I will also mop my floors with it here and there, and use it to clean litter boxes before sanitizing. This stuff is so versatile and has become a staple cleaning product in our home, it’s honestly amazing I ever went without it and I can’t imagine going through more babies and pets not having it again!

Bought this hoping it would help with pet urine smell in the bathroom where my cat periodically misses the litter box and his biproduct hit the natural stone tile. Which I think is a bit porous and absorbs the substance and smell well. Unfortunately, this product did not perform any better than "regular" household cleaners in this situation, even when I used it concentrated. Landry detergent with Oxyclean has worked better for this. On the positive side, this product was pretty effective for opening drains that were beginning to clog up, and also for cleaning of the dishwasher interior. The latter is not a recommended application in the manual but it worked quite well in my case, eliminating any lingering food odors completely (the dishwasher has a stainless steel tub, I haven't tried this with plastic).

Great value, easy to use, and works great at removing deep scents. We use it primarily to remove the animal odor if they happen to miss their boxes,
