Rug Doctor Odour Remover Review

What We Say

What is it:

Taken from the Rug Doctor Website; Rug Doctor's innovative cleaning solution for foul-smelling carpets or upholstery. The enzymatic formula breaks down odours at their source, leaving you with fresher smelling carpets.

How we tested it:

We were kindly sent several bottles of Odour Remover to put through their paces and did so on a variety of vehicles. Amongst these, we had a vehicle in which was suffering from a damp vegetation type smell after a spell clearing a garden and associated tip runs, and also a car where something had stained the floor carpets and in time developed a stale and unpleasant smell. We tested the odour remover looking for its obvious effectiveness at combating odours, its ease of use, and observed its place as a product in the valeting/detailing trade.

We Liked:

• Really easy to use. Simply mist on to affected areas and leave to do its thing, for optimum enzyme action. This takes a little time as you have to keep area wet but still very simple.
• Smells fantastic, leaving a very pleasant, clean smell.
• Quickly and effectively combated the odours we tested it on and lasted well.
• Not overpowering in terms of scent left behind and not masking either, actually removes and replaces the smell not temporarily masks it.
• Fantastic value.

We Didn't Like:

• Larger trade size quantities would be good as would use quite a bit of product if tackling a whole vehicle interior, a self-mix concentrate for spray form would be great.

Overall

In the valeting and detailing industry, vehicles encounter a wide range of unpleasant odours. From smoking to food, and from pet odours to damp, there is always a market for effective odour eliminators. What you don't want is a product that masks the odour, resulting in the client returning at a later date unhappy that the smell has returned. With its enzyme cleaning and removal approach, Rug Doctor's Odour Remover does exactly what it states: removes odours. It does so at a great price point and with an ease of use that makes it an ideal product for your interior cleaning arsenal. This is one we will definitely be stocking in the detailing studio.
