Woolite Rolls Out Pet Care Product

While pet owners love the four-legged members of their families, they don't always love their messes, especially when those messes leave behind unsightly stains. In fact, a new survey from Woolite Carpet & Upholstery reveals that nearly 80 percent of pet owners admit to masking stains instead of remedying them.

Many have even gone to such great lengths as to flip cushions (33 percent), rearrange furniture (23 percent), cover furniture (23 percent), entertain guests and visitors in other parts of the home (20 percent) and dim the lights (8 percent). In addition to these techniques, 63 percent of pet owners say they have given up on cleaning the stains altogether and have instead replaced the items their pets' messes have ruined, with 40 percent spending more than $100 in the past year.

However, stains aren't the only things hiding in pet owners' homes. Those stains also leave behind unwanted odors and bacteria. And while more than two-thirds of pet owners said they not only want pet stains and odors, but also bacteria removed from their carpets and soft surfaces, current stain-fighting pet products don't always deliver on all three.

But now the new Woolite Advanced Pet Stain & Odor Remover + Sanitize ($4.96) provides pet owners with an effective clean they can trust. With one powerful formula they can destroy 99.9 percent of bacteria and eliminate tough pet odors for a cleaner, fresher home, said the company.

Woolite Advanced Pet Stain & Odor Remover + Sanitize is available at the following retailers: Walmart, Walgreens, Meijer, Lowe's and major grocery retailers.
