BISSELL Unscented Professional Pet Stain Eliminator + Oxy Carpet Cleaner Formula - 48fl oz - 1990: Upholstery Shampoo

A: Hi Maggie — we understand your concern. We recommend keeping pets off any treated area until it’s completely dry, as this helps ensure the best cleaning results and avoids any chance of residue transfer to paws or fur. If that’s not possible, it may be best to wait and clean when you can restrict access, or limit cleaning to a small area and dry it quickly with good ventilation. If you’d like, BISSELL Consumer Care can also talk through safe-use tips for homes with cats.

A: Yes, Shawna, this formula is generally safe to use around pets. It’s unscented and designed to minimize irritation. We still recommend keeping your cat out of the room while you clean and letting the area dry completely before they return, just to avoid any airborne moisture or particles that could bother sensitive airways.

A: Thanks for pointing that out! The ingredient list for the BISSELL Professional Pet Stain Eliminator + Oxy Carpet Formula (model 1990) isn’t shown on Target’s site. For full ingredient details, we recommend contacting BISSELL Consumer Care at 1-800-237-7691. They’ll be happy to provide that information directly. Let us know if you need help with anything else!

A: While this formula is designed to tackle tough pet stains and odors, it can absolutely be used to clean larger areas like an entire room. It works with upright carpet cleaners to remove embedded dirt and odors from carpet, rugs, and upholstery.

A: Great question, Cat! As of now, BISSELL does not offer a completely unscented pet-specific carpet cleaning formula. Most of their pet formulas, like the Professional Pet Stain Eliminator + Oxy or Pet Stain & Odor + Antibacterial, include a light or fresh scent to help neutralize odors and leave a clean-smelling finish. You can always do a water only rinse after cleaning to reduce the scent.

A: Thanks for your question, Tea! Yes, the BISSELL Professional Pet Stain Eliminator + Oxy Carpet Formula (model 1990) is designed to tackle tough pet messes. It removes stains and odors from pet accidents like feces, urine, and vomit. The Oxy formula helps lift and break down organic messes. It’s safe for use on carpet, area rugs, and upholstery when used with a BISSELL upright carpet cleaner. Just be sure to pre-treat the spot if it’s dried, and follow up with a thorough clean using your machine.

A: Hi Nat. No, this formula does not have enzymes.

A: Hi Knorris. You can use this formula in full-size upright deep cleaning machines.

A: Hi Ashrey. This formula is designed for use in upright deep cleaning machines. So, yes.
