Let me tell you, this carpet cleaner is a game-changer! I've tried numerous brands over the years, but the Amazon Basics Oxy Carpet Stain Remover stands out for its impressive cleaning power and affordability.

The first thing I noticed was the fresh, light scent – not overpowering like some cleaners that leave your house smelling like a chemical factory. It actually leaves your carpets smelling clean, not just covered up.

I put it to the test on some tough stains: coffee spills, muddy paw prints, and even a few mystery spots that had been there for who-knows-how-long. The results? Amazing! The hydrogen peroxide formula really penetrates deep to lift stains and odors at the source.

What I love most is how versatile it is. It works perfectly in my old Hoover shampooer (even though the spin brushes don't work anymore) and my friend's brand new Bissell. No clogging issues, no soapy residue – just clean, fluffy carpets.

The value is unbeatable. You get twice the product for half the price of name brands, and honestly, I think it works better. My only minor complaint? On heavily soiled areas (like repeated pet accidents), it might take a couple passes to completely eliminate stains and odors. But for regular maintenance and fresh spills, it's absolutely perfect.

Pro tip: For really tough stains, let it sit for 5 minutes before scrubbing. And if you're dealing with pet odors, this paired with an enzyme cleaner makes an unstoppable team!
