Frequently Asked Questions

Revenge! is a professional-strength odor eliminator and stain remover formulated by Carpet Chemist, a company with over 35 years of hands-on experience cleaning carpets and removing tough pet messes in homes and apartments.

Our powerful deep-cleaning formula is scientifically formulated to eliminate odors at the source rather than simply masking them with fragrances. It targets the organic compounds responsible for pet urine, feces, vomit, and other stains, breaking them down so they no longer produce odor.

Most store-bought cleaners only cover up smells temporarily. Revenge! is designed to deliver lasting results on the toughest pet problems.

Yes. Revenge! is non-toxic and biodegradable. It contains no bleach, ammonia, or harsh chemicals.

Once fully dry, it is safe for children and pets. We recommend keeping the bottle out of reach during application and allowing the treated area to dry completely before allowing pets or children back onto the surface.

Our formula has been used professionally in thousands of pet-owning households for decades with excellent safety results.

Revenge! is safe for virtually all water-safe surfaces when used as directed, including:

• Carpet and area rugs
• Upholstery and fabric furniture
• Hardwood, laminate, and tile
• Concrete and sealed floors
• Car seats, floor mats, and interiors
• Pet beds and crates
• Litter boxes

Always test a small, inconspicuous area first to confirm colorfastness, especially on delicate or antique fabrics.

Most people notice instant odor removal with proper application. The key is removing as much of the mess as possible first, then letting Revenge! do its work.

For fresh accidents and small stains (including small dog urine):

1. Blot up as much liquid or solid material as possible using a clean white cotton terry cloth or paper towels.
2. Spray Revenge! liberally and directly from the bottle onto the affected area and a few inches beyond it.
3. Work the product in gently from the outside of the stain toward the center using a clean white cotton terry cloth. This direction prevents spreading the mess.
4. Blot any excess with a clean white cotton terry cloth. No rinsing required.

For large areas or heavy urine from large dogs:

1. First, extract as much liquid as possible. Use a wet/dry vacuum rated for water extraction if available. If you don’t have one, blot thoroughly with clean white cotton terry cloths or paper towels.
2. Spray Revenge! liberally onto the area.
3. Work it in from the outside toward the center with a clean white cotton terry cloth.
4. Blot excess with a clean white cotton terry cloth.

For severe cases where urine has reached the padding or subfloor:

In these situations you may need to remove the sprayer and actually pour Revenge! directly onto the carpet so it fully saturates the backing, padding, and reaches the subfloor. Work it in gently.

Immediately after, use a wet/dry vacuum rated for water extraction to remove as much liquid as possible. This step flushes out urine, bacteria, and stain material. You may need to reapply and extract again for the toughest cases.

If you don’t own a suitable wet/dry vac, we offer one on our website that we have thoroughly tested and approved for use with Revenge!. This professional-grade tool makes extraction fast and effective on the worst messes.

Important drying tip:

After blotting or extraction, remove as much moisture as you possibly can. Then place a fan on the area to speed drying. In severe or deeply saturated cases, drying can take several hours or overnight. Fast, thorough drying delivers the best long-term results and helps prevent any residual issues.

Yes. Revenge! is specifically engineered for tough, long-standing pet stains and odors. Our professional-strength formula penetrates deep into carpet fibers, padding, and other surfaces to break down embedded organic material.

For older or set-in stains, you may need a second treatment — and in some cases a third — for complete elimination. The key is thorough saturation so the formula reaches all the way to the source.

Start by extracting or blotting up as much of the old mess as possible using a wet/dry vacuum (if available) or clean white cotton terry cloths. Then apply Revenge! generously and work it in from the outside toward the center. Reapply and extract again if needed for the toughest cases.

After blotting or extraction, remove as much moisture as possible and place a fan on the area to speed drying. Fast, thorough drying delivers the best long-term results.

Most people notice a significant reduction in odor within minutes after proper application. Fresh stains often lift visibly as the formula works.

For deeper or older stains and odors, results improve with thorough saturation and proper technique. Reapply as needed — a second (or even third) treatment usually resolves any remaining issues.

The faster and more thoroughly you extract or blot excess liquid first, the quicker you’ll see final results. After blotting or extraction, place a fan on the area to speed drying. Fast, thorough drying helps reveal the best outcome.

Yes. Revenge! is compatible with most hot water extraction carpet cleaning machines. Add it to the solution tank according to your machine’s instructions. It works well for deep cleaning larger areas or entire rooms after spot treatment.

For best results, follow with thorough extraction and allow the carpet to dry completely. A fan on the area speeds drying and improves outcomes on big jobs.

Revenge! is formulated to be safe on colorfast carpets, upholstery, and most household surfaces. It dries clear with no sticky residue when used properly.

However, no cleaner is 100% risk-free on every surface. We strongly recommend testing in a small, hidden area first. Avoid using on surfaces that cannot tolerate water or on non-colorfast materials.

If you have antique, delicate, or expensive furnishings, consider consulting a professional cleaner before use.

Occasionally, odor or staining can reappear if the original mess was not fully treated or if residue remains deep in the padding or subfloor.

In these cases, re-treat thoroughly. First extract or blot as much liquid as possible using a wet/dry vacuum rated for water extraction (or clean white cotton terry cloths if you don’t have one). Then apply Revenge! generously so it reaches the full depth of the affected area. Work it in from the outside toward the center with a clean white cotton terry cloth. Reapply and extract again if needed.

If you don’t own a suitable wet/dry vac, we offer one on our website that we have thoroughly tested and approved for use with Revenge!.

After extraction or blotting, remove as much moisture as possible and place a fan on the area to speed drying. Most customers achieve permanent results with proper re-treatment.

Persistent issues after multiple applications may indicate damage to the subfloor or padding that requires professional restoration.
