Oxy tough stain remover works very well at removing non-oil based stains. As the name implies it uses "OXY" to help eliminate tough stains, through the help of oxidation, which is a bleaching process. Not all bleaches are like clorox, this is a gentler, color safe bleach. Bleaches work by either adding oxygen or removing oxygen from a color(stain), which makes it, in essence invisible. Even though this is a color safe bleach, it is always a good idea to do a colorfast test on a small corner of the material, before dumping too much right away, and having a problem. Because of the Oxy, this spray should work great on any type of organic stains, meaning plant, animal, human,...etc. If you have a grease or oil based stain, than you should probably start with a degreaser, to lift out as much of the oils as possible before adding a water based solution. Adding water to an oil based stain without trying to remove the oils first, can result in a permanent stain. Some cleaners can do a decent job at trying to do both jobs with one solution, but no one solution will ever work on everything. I tried the Oxy tough stain remover on three different stains, on different materials. Two of the spots were completely gone afterwards, and the third still had some trace of the stain evident. However to be fair, I was not sure what type of stain the 3rd one was. So, there is a good chance there might have been some grease involved. I am including before and after shots of the three stains. I also used my hoover carpet cleaner to lift away the dirt on the first 2 stains, but not the third one (car seat). The suction from the carpet cleaner was definitely a big help, and a lot easier than just using towels to soak up the stain. Overall I think this will great on most of the satins I encounter, and it actually smells nice, so that is a plus!

The Hoover Oxy Tough Stain Remover worked pretty well on a few ink stains that I had on my rug. I had to use 2 applications on the stains. After the second application and a light scrubbing with a small soft bristle brush, most of the stains came out. They didn’t come out completely, but at least enough came out to where they aren’t noticeable. I’ve attached before and after pictures, and as you can see the rug is cleaner where I applied the Hoover Oxy Tough Stain Remover. The Hoover Oxy Tough Stain Remover does have a pleasant odor and not a chemical odor like many other brands. It dries quickly when just sprayed lightly, but for tougher stains a little scrubbing and more product may be needed, as in my case with the ink stains. It can work by itself by just spraying for most stains, but for tougher stains, like ink or wine, it may take a couple more applications and a little bit of scrubbing with a soft bristle brush to get the stain out completely or almost completely. I gave it 4 stars because it did work, does have a pleasant smell, but I did have to scrub the spot to get it out. I recommend it for light stains, or for use after using a rug cleaning machine for those left over tougher stains.

Thanks to a dog, 2 year old, and a few cups of coffee, I have no shortage of carpet stains in my house that needed this product's attention and it worked on all of them without scrubbing or multiple applications. Pros - Bottle has stream and spray setting (I like spray to cover larger areas evenly) - Directions were clear and easy to follow. You just spray it on, wait 10 minutes, and blot it with a damp terry cloth. - Removed a few coffee stains that another cleaning product couldn't get out, with only gentle agitation/blotting no scrubbing/or brush needed. - No strong smell. Things to Consider - Like many products, you need to test it on a small hidden area first to make sure it doesn't remove the color. No issues on my synthetic carpets. - It also works as a spot treatment for a carpet cleaning machine, but I don't have one and got good results.
