Learn how to quickly clean pet messes using Mrs. Meyer's pet multi-surface cleaner. Step-by-step instructions for accidents, stains, and odors.
Quick Answer
Blot fresh messes, spray Mrs. Meyer's Pet Multi-Surface Cleaner directly on the area, let it sit for a few minutes, then wipe or blot clean. The probiotic micro-helpers and odor-neutralizing technology work at the source, not just masking smells.
Why Choose a Pet-Specific Multi-Surface Cleaner
Regular household cleaners can leave residues or strong fragrances that irritate pets' noses and paws. A pet multi-surface cleaner like Mrs. Meyer's for Pets is formulated with ingredients that are tough on messes but gentle enough for homes with animals. The probiotic micro-helpers continue cleaning between sprays, breaking down organic matter that causes odors.
Understanding the Ingredients: Probiotics vs. Enzymes
Many pet accident cleaners rely on enzymes to break down stains. Mrs. Meyer's Pet Multi-Surface Cleaner uses probiotic micro-helpers instead. Probiotics are live beneficial bacteria that consume organic waste, providing a continuous microscopic clean. They work alongside odor-neutralizing technology that fights smells at the source. This is a different approach from enzyme cleaners, which are typically single-use and stop working once dry.
How to Clean Pet Messes Step by Step
- Blot the Mess Immediately: Use a clean cloth or paper towel to blot up as much liquid as possible. Do not rub, as this pushes the stain deeper into carpets or upholstery. For solid waste, scoop it up first. Blotting quickly prevents the stain from setting and reduces odor later.
- Spray the Affected Area: Hold the Mrs. Meyer's Pet Multi-Surface Cleaner about 6 inches from the surface and spray generously until the area is damp. Cover the entire stain and a small border around it. Don't oversaturate—too much liquid can soak through to the padding or underlayment.
- Let It Sit for 3-5 Minutes: Allow the cleaner to dwell so the probiotic micro-helpers and odor-neutralizing technology can break down the mess at the source. This is the most important step for odor control. Skipping the dwell time reduces effectiveness. Set a timer if needed.
- Blot or Wipe Clean: Use a fresh cloth or paper towel to blot the area again, absorbing the cleaner and dissolved mess. For hard surfaces, you can wipe with a damp cloth. Repeat if the stain is still visible. If the stain persists, repeat the process rather than scrubbing hard, which can damage fibers.
- Let It Air Dry: Allow the area to dry completely. The probiotic micro-helpers continue working as they dry, providing ongoing cleaning. Keep pets away until the surface is fully dry. Drying time varies by surface and humidity. Open a window or use a fan to speed it up.
