That pet stain product has no odor and works well. You do have to spray it on the stain and then let it sit for a week sometimes... so I put a towel over it and something to hold it down, since my cat will dig at things like that. Even if its green, you dont want your pet to paw at it. It eats away the stain and you may have to re-apply if its a bad one, but its great. It has enzymes that eat up the stain.

Anything with a leaping bunny logo is a winner! A lot of pet stain removal products, even from that store and others do have nasty ingredients, so check that out too.

I found a great product for pet stains that is green and even had the leaping bunny logo, meaning its cruelty free too! It really works! I dont work for that store or anything, just love the product, so here it is:

the number one way to reduce your carbon footprint is to go vegetarian! factory farms are cruel, nasty, and the leading cause of carbon emissions. obviously we all love animals....why eat them?

I love this group! My two favorite subjects- animals and the environment!

Green or eco-friendly are not the same as cruelty free. They are seen as separate issues to some while other companies consider them to go hand and hand. That is why there is the leaping bunny logo to look for on products for cruelty free. And if its not there, look at the guide to see if the company is on the list... becuase the logo is elective. see:

I've seen commericals that Clorox is "going green", but they test their products on animals! How is that ecofriendly??? I'm making a promise to myself to go "clean" and get away from these products...I've posted lists of the "good" and the "bad" companies! I'm going to be giving up a lot of things, but I'm ok with it! :)

pets are very sensitve to harsh cleaners... and there are so many options out there for home products, so do the best thing for your pets and yourselves (and children) and for the environment. (I have been buying these for over 20 years, back when they were really hard to find, so these days its great!) I personally love Ecover, Seventh Generation and Jason organics too. I use green and cruelty free products for home (bathroom, laundry, dishes, etc) and for cosmetics. See Leapingbunny.org for a guide to shopping cruelty free.
