Product details
Hoover's Paws and Claws formula is an enzymatic carpet shampoo built to break down pet accidents rather than just mask them, sold as a 128 ounce bottle, part AH31983. It is intended for use in Hoover carpet cleaning machines.
Enzymatic cleaners work differently than a standard detergent shampoo. Enzymes target the proteins in urine, feces and vomit and break them down, which is what actually removes the odor instead of covering it. A shampoo without enzymes can lift the visible stain and still leave the smell behind, because the odor-causing residue is still sitting in the fibers. The same formula also works on ordinary organic soil, food spills and tracked-in dirt, so it is not limited to accidents.
- Part: AH31983, Hoover Paws and Claws Enzymatic Carpet Shampoo
- Size: 128 ounce bottle
- Function: Enzymatic formula aimed at pet stain and odor in carpet and upholstery fibers
- Use: In Hoover carpet cleaning machines, at the water-to-solution ratio your machine's manual specifies
- Best results: Treat accidents while fresh and allow dwell time before extracting
Enzyme cleaners need the right conditions to work, which is why over-diluting a concentrate or extracting too soon after application cuts into how much of the stain actually gets broken down. Following the ratio your machine calls for, rather than eyeballing it, is what gets the formula's full cleaning power out of the bottle.
Treat pet accidents while they are fresh where you can. Enzymes need time and contact with the stain to break the proteins down, so a longer dwell before extraction pulls more of the odor out than a quick pass does.
