The inevitable happened: you had a spill on your carpet or rug.

You might have been able to clean the spot right away, or it might have taken a while for you to even realize the spill was there. Either way, a smell is in the air, and you’re concerned about the odor lingering after you spot-treat the floor.

No matter your situation, we’ve got the solution for you: Stanley Steemer Odor Out!

Odor Out is a powerful deodorizing agent that encapsulates the bacteria on the surface of your carpet, serving as a mask for odors.

Like any other retail cleaner, it won’t be able to get deep in your fibers and fully deodorize, but it is the crucial first step to prevent permanent odors and save you from needing to schedule a professional cleaning before you would normally need to.

How Stanley Steemer Odor Out Deodorizes

Stanley Steemer Odor Out is an enzyme cleaner specifically formulated to encapsulate the bacteria building up on the surface of your carpet or rug fibers. Encapsulating the odor-causing bacteria prevents them from off-gassing and producing odor as they break down. Encapsulation also prevents bacteria from multiplying.

It’s effective for use on a wide variety of spills, including pet urine, coffee stains, food spills, and certain types of drinks.

In some cases, if a spot is left untreated, it can lead to an odor that will be nearly impossible to remove, even with professional cleaning methods. This is particularly true if the spot is allowed to sink into the backing of your carpet.

That’s why it’s important to apply Odor Out as soon as possible after noticing a spill.

Step-by-Step Guide to Using Stanley Steemer Odor Out

Follow these steps when using Odor Out for the best results:

Preparation:

  1. Remove visible dirt and debris from the area you want to treat. Whatever you might be dealing with, be careful to avoid pressing down on the spot as you remove any remaining contaminants. If a liquid has gone into your carpet, it’s especially important to blot rather than scrub the carpet, as scrubbing will push the bacteria further into the fibers where Odor Out can’t reach it.
  2. Test the solution on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure no color bleeding will occur.
  3. If there are stains, use Stanley Steemer spot remover before applying Odor Out.

Application:

  1. Shake the Stanley Steemer Odor Out bottle well to mix the solution properly.
  2. Spray the solution evenly over the affected area, focusing on spots with strong odors. For fibrous carpets or rugs, we recommend pushing the solution down deep into the fibers.
  3. Allow the solution to sit for 24 hours with a damp cloth on top of it. This helps the enzymes stay activated longer, fighting bacteria for the full 24 hours.
  4. After the time has passed, remove the damp cloth and let the carpet or rug air dry.
  5. Repeat steps 1-5 as many times as needed if the odor is persistent.
