Review & Giveaway: Clean+Green Wood + Tile Cleaner

If you have pets, I'm sure you too are familiar with the "oh no!" sounds that come from a hacking cat or that look your dog might get when they have an accident on your floor. Around here, it's usually Magick who's sick because he ate the other cats' dry food, or the Grumpy Princess - also known as our garbage disposal - who ate something she found on the ground. While we don't use paper towels on a day to day basis, I keep a roll hidden for these disgusting messes. Now while most of our home has wooden or tile floors, our bedroom has carpeting. Can you guess the Corgis' favorite room to upchuck in? Yeah, you guessed it. (groan!) I'm well prepared for carpeting issues now, but not on the wood. I always thought if you caught it fast enough, you could just wipe it up - until one day Magick was sick probably just after bed, and it sat on the wooden floor all night long. It smelled for awhile after that. Yuck!

CLEAN+GREEN, one of my favorite all natural cleaning product companies, also has a Wood & Tile cleaner pet odor and stain remover that eliminates odors, deep cleans, and removes the stains on the wood. It works on contact - all you have to do is spray it onto the area, so soaking or scrubbing needed. it's safe for all natural and laminate wood, as well as natural and cultured marble and tile surfaces. It is also fragrance free, so those with allergies and asthma like me can use it in their home. The packaging is also sustainable and 100% recyclable. (in areas where they accept it, of course)

CLEAN+GREEN Wood & Tile cleaner works naturally biodegrading the stain and odor source. Of course, catching it right away always helps on some of the accidents, but there are those like I told you about that if it sits, can really do a number on your flooring - especially if you have bigger pets that make bigger messes. (I'm sure those of you with Great Danes or Mastiffs can attest to that!) It didn't take too long after the CLEAN + GREEN Wood & Tile cleaner arrived for Magick to be sick, so I immediately used it on the spot in the kitchen. I already cringe at how bad our flooring looks just from life, so I'll do anything to stop it from getting worse! A few hours later, there was no stain, no smell on the spot. (whew!) I'm definitely going to be armed with this eco-friendly cleaner for every pet accident in our home!

Now be aware that this cleaner does make your floor wet, so try to keep kids and pets away from it while it air dries - you don't want anyone to accidently slip and fall.

For kicks and giggles, I decided to try CLEAN + GREEN Wood & Tile cleaner out in my Murphy's Law area - remember when the freezer leaked on the floor? It left this awful stain:


It faded it, but it wasn't a cure all. Darn! I'm sure it's just been there too long. Since it's meant for pet stains, I figured it probably wouldn't do much, but hey, I tried!

A 14 oz bottle of CLEAN+GREEN Wood & Tile cleaner retails for about $9.99. You can purchase it online via their website with free shipping, or in stores like Petco and your independent pet boutique. (Those of you who hike with your dogs or live in a rural area, run, don't walk to the store and pick up a bottle of their De-Skunk Coat Cleaner and have it on hand. The last thing you want to do is have that smell around any longer than you need to!!!)
