Spot Shot Instant Carpet Spot Remover: Not Worth My Money
In my home carpet spot removers are used nearly every day on pet stains or food stains and the occasional grease or dirt tracked into the house from the garage. Needless to say I need something that will take care of the problem with minimal scrubbing. I also desire something that does not leave a lingering smell throughout my home. The last thing I want when I walk in the door is to notice the smell of carpet cleaners rather than the smell of air fresheners I have throughout the house.
The first thing I noticed when opening the spray bottle of Spot Shot Instant Carpet Stain Remover was that the solution in the bottle had an unpleasant smell. A smell that actually reminded me of urine rather than something that would make the smell of actual urine disappear from my carpet. After testing the cleaner on a small area I decided to give it a try on a newer stain. My first thought was that the product might actually be working because the area I had sprayed looked lighter than it had before. However once the solution dried the spot still looked as dark as it did before the treatment. I suppose it may not have been as noticeable on darker carpet but on cream colored carpet the results were not what I had hoped for. As for set in stains I had no luck with removing these either. All the spot remover did was make the carpet wet.
For my money this carpet spot remover was less than impressive and I would never purchase it again. While the price was less than other carpet spot removers the quality was below average. Spot Shot Instant Carpet Stain Remover can be found in the cleaning supply aisle of your local department store, though I recommend spending an extra dollar or two more for a product that will actually remove stains and not leave an unpleasant odor.
