best overall pet stain remover
Rocco & Roxie Supply Co. Stain and Odor Eliminator
Pros
- Chlorine free
- Over 100,000 glowing reviews
- Eligible for Prime shipping
Cons
- Has a strong, unpleasant smell, according to some reviewers
While a lil pricey, we can personally attest: This miracle solution works. This stuff gets the stain and smell out real quick—even on stains you discover days later!
THE REVIEWS: “Rocco & Roxie is the ONLY cleaner to help get our cat to stop spraying. After years of fighting our aging cat, who thinks it’s okay to go anywhere he wants, we were considering getting rid of him. This product SAVED our sanity,” wrote one reviewer. “Follow the directions and you will have a clean, nice-smelling result—one that TRULY gets rid of the lingering smell which was something me and the wife are very good at smelling. You may need to repeat for bad stains/odors but it gets the job done. We had been trying to save money and use Oxy cleaners and Nature’s Miracle, and they just don’t get those deep-down smells. Rocco & Roxie DOES!”

Pros
- Advanced bio-enzymatic formula
- Less than $15
- Eligible for Prime shipping
Cons
- Has a strong smell, per some reviewers
With more than 25,000 reviews and a near five-star rating, you gotta at least see what’s up. Fair warning, though: While the before and after photos are WILD and show that this remover works, they’re still photos of gross pet stains.
THE REVIEWS: “I have two dogs and their accompanying scents. I spray this around the house, on the furniture, curtains, and rugs. It works like magic,” wrote one reviewer. “The scent of the spray is pleasant and it lasts for hours. I recommend this all the time. I have it on auto-ship.”

best scented pet stain remover
Angry Orange Odor Eliminator
Now 33% Off
Pros
- Over 180,000 glowing reviews
- Can be used directly on stain or smell, no mixing required
- Does not have a toxic smell
Cons
- Per some reviews, the spray bottle doesn’t work efficiently
“Smells like heaven, works like hell,” isn’t just a femme fatale description—it’s also the (accurate and fitting) slogan for this pet stain remover made from oranges. It can be used on carpet, tile, fabric, non-leather furniture, turf, and concrete.
THE REVIEWS: “If you ever had a cat that has sprayed or peed in your house, you know how heartbreaking it is! The smell is horrid and attracts the cat back to the spot. I have tried every single cat pee cleaner on the market and nothing really worked. There was still always a faint pee smell. This stuff smells so good you want to eat it,” one reviewer wrote. “I only clean the area once or twice and never smell cat pee again. I use it on my leather couch. I’m sure it would be great for any other yucky smells. I have only tried in on dark material, but just follow the instructions and always test an area first. Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. If you just can’t get rid of a smell, buy it, use it, and DONE!”

Skouts Honor Professional Strength Stain and Odor Remover

best pet stain remover for odor
Skouts Honor Professional Strength Stain and Odor Remover
Pros
- Never expires
Cons
- Didn’t work for some buyers
Rather than enzymes, this non-toxic formula uses a plant-derived surfactant to quickly break down and lift away tough pet stains. Plus, it’s a purchase you can feel good about because, for every bottle sold, Skouts Honor feeds a shelter animal in need.
THE REVIEWS: “There are only a few products I trust to clean dog accidents safely on my carpet. I like this cleaner because it works to remove stains and odors without using harsh chemicals,” wrote one reviewer. “You may have to mist the areas several times and go over the area with shop cloths to get the stains out, but you will be rewarded with a stain-free rug. I like that there is no strong chemical smell afterward. The spray is plant-based, cruelty-free, and eco-friendly.”

best pet stain remover for fresh stains
Simple Solution Extreme Stain and Odor Remover
Pros
- On sale
- Eligible for Prime shipping
- 3-in-1 nozzle sprayer (foam, mist, and stream)
Cons
- The nozzle leaks, per some reviewers
Power moves ONLY. This one has “EXTREME” written on the bottle because it’s just that powerful. The moment your pet vomits or pees/poos on whatever, spray some of this on it, spread it all over the stain with a gentle cloth, and it’ll be gone instantly!
THE REVIEWS: “Just went to buy another and noticed I have purchased this 15 times over the years, lol!” wrote one reviewer. “Suffice it to say, we love it! I have a 15-year-old incontinent Yorkie and this has been a lifesaver for my rugs, furniture, and solid surface floors too! I have never noticed discoloration. I probably should buy the refill bottle but have only ever gotten the plain spray bottle as I usually had it on subscribe and save. We go through about three per year. The price is right and I like the smell. I generally spray, blot up excess urine, spray again, and let sit for a while with a clean damp rag covering it to keep the product from drying out while it does its job. Then I blot again and done!”

Pros
- Contains no phosphates, harsh chemicals, or solvents
- Great for carpet messes
Cons
- According to some reviewers, the bottle leaks
No need to get a brush dedicated to your stain-removing missions—this one comes with one attached right to the bottle.
THE REVIEWS: “This product is AMAZING,” wrote one reviewer. “When I tell you that it’s the ONLY product that gets my cat’s pee scent out of anything, I mean it. We have tried SOOOOOO many products that did not work, but I swear to you that this one does. Just put it on the area, rub it in, then wipe or get the excess off with a dry cleaning cloth. NO MORE CAT PEE SMELL!!! Trust me on this one! It has a fairly mild scent to it. It kind of just smells a little like scent-free laundry soap with a little bit of a chemical smell to it, but after you put it on the area, it has a nice fresh smell.”

best value pet stain remover
Resolve Ultra Stain and Odor Remover
Pros
- Works great on everyday stains like red wine, grape juice, and greasy food
- Eligible for Prime shipping
Cons
- Requires a lot of product to remove stains, per some reviews
This solution has Resolve’s Odor Stop Technology and even discourages pets from coming back and resoiling the same spot. Praise! Be!
THE REVIEWS: “I have been dealing with accidents with my new puppy in my house every now and then while he is trained. He was doing that in the same spot a few times until I started using this product,” wrote one reviewer. “I cleaned the mess with a paper towel, applied this product, and then wiped again with a paper towel and he did not come again to that spot. Of course, I needed to do that few times while keeping my eye on him and take him outside if needed. The trigger releases a fair amount of mist that covers a wide area which made the cleaning process easier. The scent is ok but was not great for me. That’s just a personal preference. All in all, mission accomplished.”
