Oxy-Powered Pet Stain

My dog had a bleeding mass on her abdomen and it got blood all over our rugs and in the back seat of our car. Carbona worked really well on most of the spots on our rugs because we got to them almost as soon as they happened. It took me a few days before I could get to the ones in the car so it took several applications over the period of a few days. I didn’t want to soak the back seat and it get down into the foam to where it wouldn’t dry, so I made sure I waited a day in between applications. For the most part, it worked. There’s only a small spot that didn’t come out completely but you cannot tell it was originally a blood stain. Carbona worked much better than some of the big name carpet/stain cleaners out there. We tried one of the big name ones first and it just smeared the stains. We came back with the Carbona on top of the stains we tried to treat with the other cleaner and the Carbona took care of it. In my opinion, Carbona worked better and was cheaper than the big name cleaners. Info: •Make sure you wipe the area with a dry cloth 3 minutes after applying Carbona. That is when/where the stain comes out. You likely will not see the stain lifting during/after the 3 minutes unless you wipe with a cloth like the directions say. I forgot this step and thought Carbona wasn’t working. When I reread the directions, I saw I missed this part so I started wiping with a dry cloth and that is when the stain started to come out. Cons: •The seal on the bottle is awful. The directions say to poke a small hole in the seal instead of removing it, but the seal on each bottle that I have bought was either halfway off, or all the way off, when I removed the lid. If you’re going to give directions to poke a hole in the seal, then use a seal that doesn’t come off easily (like a foil seal). •The lid itself and the threading of the bottle needs to be better. The lid doesn’t stay on tight so when you are cleaning with the brush on the lid, the lid comes loose and starts leaking product. It’s hard to control how much you use. So we removed the lid completely, poured a little product on the brush and used the lid independently to scrub the stain so we didn’t continue to lose product. It made it a little more difficult to scrub because you don’t have much to hold onto without the bottle being attached, but it’s what we had to do. The bottle, lid, brush, and seal, could use a re-design.
