My dog, Maya, has an embarrassing confession to make. She pees a lot – when she’s excited, upset, or just plain annoyed! Sometimes, when Zachary gets a little too happy to see her and squeezes her too hard, she leaks. What this means is that we have a number of randomly placed “spots” on the carpet in our house.

We’ve tried a number of super strength cleaners that all advertise their powers of cleaning up even the worst dog messes. None of them, however, compare to the powers of Simple Green’s Oxy Dog Stain and Odor Remover! Simple Green’s cleaning products are my favorite since they are Earth-friendly and they smell nice too. The pet stain product doesn’t actually smell like very much at all, but I’d much prefer that over all of the other products under our sink, which make the house stink to high heaven every time we’ve used them to clean up a dog mess!

There are a couple of older spots in our bedroom and a few in Zachary’s room that have been particularly bothering me. I just couldn’t stand looking at them! Getting your carpets professionally cleaned is time consuming and expensive, but Simple Green’s pet cleaner and an old rag saved me lots of time and money.

It took only a few minutes between spraying and scrubbing with the towel and the stains simply disappeared. I was absolutely amazed. To be honest, I didn’t expect the stains to disappear completely, so I was shocked that the product worked so well. Simple Green’s Pet Stain and Odor Remover is by far the best Pet Stain product I’ve ever tried!

If you have a pet, I wholeheartedly recommend Simple Green’s pet products! They have an awesome dog stain remover which I’ve already discussed, as well as a cat stain and odor remover. Best off, since it’s made by Simple Green, you know it’s non-toxic, VOC-compliant, non-hazardous, biodegradable, and non-flammable – so you know it’s actually safe for your pet (or kids) to be around. Simple Green rocks!!

In fact, they rock so much they are going to give one of my readers their own Simple Green Pet Stain & Odor Remover!!!

Contest ends on April 22, 2011 at 11:59pm (Earth Day!). The winner will be chosen via a random number generator. Entries are eligible in the US only.

Disclosure: I received Simple Green’s Oxy Dog Stain and Odor Remover to try. No other compensation was received, and all opinions are completely my own.

Zachary loves to follow me around when I’m doing chores (and I enjoy his presence too!), so I knew I had to find an alternative for everyday cleanups.

Enter…. Simple Green Naturals!

Simple Green products truly fit the bill for what I was looking for, as their cleaning products are non-toxic, biodegradable, and don’t smell like gross chemicals! Simple Green has saved me from the disaster of attempting to make my own Eco safe products (can you just imagine it? haha), so I’m truly thankful for the chance to try them out! ;) Moreover, I like the fact that their stuff is made in the USA.

The products I’d say I use the most are the multi-surface & glass cleaners, and the bathroom cleaner. I love the scents they use, first of all – they’re all natural and yummy-smelling. The glass cleaner is fantastic and actually leaves my glass table streak-free, and the multi-surface cleaner is amazing on my hard to clean Formica countertops, which actually look pretty darn good now. The bathroom cleaner smells like rosemary-mint which makes it so inviting!

The hand soap smells like a fresh herb garden and feels so nice on my skin, as does the delicious smelling dish soap, which is a fresh squeezed citrus – it smells SO fresh & clean! It doesn’t dry out my skin either.

The last two products I tried were floor care – I used the floor/tile cleaner when I spilled something sticky on the floor and had to mop. It smelled pleasing & most importantly helped clean up the mess just fine! Likewise the carpet cleaner did a pretty good job. I haven’t tried it out yet on a pet stain though (thankfully Maya has been a good girl – lol). I’ve used lots of foul smelling carpet cleaners in the past, so it’s nice to use a product that is safe for my kid & the environment and does not stink up my entire house!!

Overall I’m absolutely thrilled with Simple Green and very excited to have the opportunity to give away a prize pack to one of my readers!
