- 🧴 32 oz enzyme spray
- 🛋️ Carpet, rugs and fabric
You found the spot again. Maybe it is the puppy's third accident this week, the senior dog who cannot always wait, or the cat who chose the rug over the litter box. You want a spray you can grab, use the right way, and trust not to just cover the smell with perfume.
The Paws & Pals Organic Pet Stain & Odor Remover Spray is a 32 oz enzyme spray for dog and cat messes on carpet, rugs, upholstery, clothing and bedding. This Petstone guide covers what is in it, where it fits, the exact way the label says to use it, and the jobs it is not made for, so you can decide before you buy.
Quick answer
- Paws & Pals is a 32 oz spray with enzymes, biocatalysts, organic surfactants and cleaning agents, and green tea essential oil.
- The listing names carpet, furniture, rugs, upholstery, clothing and bedding as surfaces.
- Blot first, then spray in short bursts with pauses, do not saturate, agitate, cover the whole spot, blot and wipe clean.
- It is a spot cleaner with a light essential-oil scent, not an unscented product and not a disinfectant.
- Store it out of children's reach, and keep pets off the area until it is dry.
What is in the Paws & Pals spray?
According to the Paws & Pals product listing on Petstone, the formula is a blend of enzymes and biocatalysts with organic surfactants, organic cleaning agents and green tea essential oil. It comes in one size, a 32 oz spray bottle.
The listing describes it as a 2-in-1: it works on pet stains and on the odors that come with them. Enzyme cleaners matter for urine because, as the American Kennel Club explains, cleaners made for pet stains break down odor-causing compounds instead of hiding them.

- Enzymes + biocatalysts

Where can you use it?
The Paws & Pals listing names carpet, furniture, rugs, upholstery, clothing and bedding. Here is how each one usually comes up in a pet home, and what to keep in mind.
| Surface | Typical mess | Keep in mind |
|---|---|---|
| Carpet | Puppy and senior dog accidents | Urine can reach the pad underneath; a spray may not reach that deep. |
| Rugs | Repeat spots near doors and beds | Check the back of the rug and the floor under it too. |
| Upholstery and furniture | Pet accidents on cushions and couches | Test a hidden spot first, then blot rather than rub. |
| Bedding | Pet beds and blankets | Washable items can also go through the washer. |
| Clothing | Jackets and throws pets sleep on | Follow the garment's care label as well. |
Hardwood, laminate and tile are not on the listed surfaces, so use a cleaner labeled for those floors instead.
How to use it on carpet and couches, step by step
Steps 3 to 6 follow the product label. Steps 1, 2 and 7 are Petstone additions, with the blotting and drying advice taken from the AKC and Humane World for Animals.
- Blot first. Soak up a fresh spot with layers of paper towels, pressing with your weight and changing them until little moisture comes up.
- Test a hidden spot. Spray a small, out-of-sight patch of the fabric and check it once dry.
- Spray in bursts. Spray straight onto the spot, pausing between sprays so the product can absorb. Do not saturate.
- Agitate. Work the product gently into the fibers.
- Cover the whole area. Apply enough to reach the full soiled area, including the edges.
- Blot and wipe. Blot with a clean cloth, and once the stain lifts, wipe the area clean.
- Let it dry. Keep pets off the spot until it is dry, and skip heat or steam, which the AKC warns can make the stain and odor permanent.
Old, dried spots are hard to see. Humane World for Animals suggests finding them with a black light and outlining them lightly with chalk, so you clean every spot, not just the one you can smell.
Who it suits, and who should pick something else
✅ A good fit for
- Dog and cat homes that spot-clean carpet, rugs, couches and pet bedding
- Owners who want an enzyme spray with a light essential-oil scent
- Puppy training weeks and older pets with the occasional accident
- Quick clean-ups before guests arrive
⚠️ Not the best fit for
- Anyone who needs a fully unscented cleaner
- Disinfecting; it is a stain and odor remover
- Hardwood, laminate or tile, which are not listed surfaces
- Urine that has soaked deep into carpet padding
🎯 Best for: regular spot cleaning of fabric surfaces in homes with dogs, cats or both.
What to do about old or deep stains
The label says not to saturate, which keeps the Paws & Pals spray a surface and fiber cleaner. When urine has soaked through to the pad, both the AKC and Humane World for Animals say a deeper approach may be needed.
- Rinse dried spots with water, then pull the moisture out with a wet-dry vacuum, as the AKC describes, or a rented carpet cleaner, as Humane World for Animals suggests.
- Repeat the clean if the smell returns after the area dries.
- Carpet and pad sections that urine has soaked into may need replacing, according to Humane World for Animals.
- Call a professional cleaner if smells stay after several rounds, the AKC suggests.

Safety and when to call your vet
- The label says to keep the spray away from children, so store it out of reach.
- Keep pets off the cleaned area until it is completely dry.
- Never mix cleaners (Petstone's advice), and avoid ammonia-based products; the ASPCA explains that urine contains ammonia too, so these can lure a cat back.
- Frequent accidents in a house-trained dog, or a cat peeing outside the box, can have a medical cause. Ask your vet to check them.
How it compares with other Petstone home picks
| Petstone pick | What it does | Use it when |
|---|---|---|
| Paws & Pals enzyme spray | Spot cleans stains and odors on fabric surfaces | An accident has happened |
| Plush Pet Sofa Seat Cover | A machine-washable, water-resistant cover with a non-slip back | You want a washable layer between pets and the couch |
| Cat Litter Box Air Purifier | A fragrance-free plug-in that helps reduce litter box odors in small spaces | The smell comes from the litter area, not a spot |

FAQ
Can I use the Paws & Pals spray on hardwood floors?
Hardwood is not one of the surfaces the listing names. It is made for carpet, furniture, rugs, upholstery, clothing and bedding, so use a cleaner labeled for hardwood on wood floors.
Does it have a scent?
Yes. The listing describes a light, refreshing scent from its essential oils, including green tea oil. If you need a fully unscented cleaner, choose another product.
Should I soak the carpet with it?
No. The label says to spray with pauses and not saturate. For urine that has reached the pad, the AKC suggests rinsing and extracting with a wet-dry vacuum, and some carpet may need replacing.
Is it a disinfectant?
No. Paws & Pals is a stain and odor remover for spot cleaning, not a disinfectant.
