Review: Carpet CPR Pet Stain and Odor Remover

Super Cool Pets headquarters is generally a little disheveled with so many pets milling around. We recommend hard floor surfaces for pet households rather than carpet. But since most of us do have some rugs around in any case, daily maintenance is a must to stay even remotely presentable.
Thus we happily accepted a sample spray bottle Carpet CPR Spot & Stain Remover
for review from LA-based Leather CPR. Carpet CPR is a spray that needs to penetrate the dirt on your carpet for about 3-5 minutes.
We treated a stain (so many spots, so little time), let it soak in and cleaned it up with a neutral cloth. The dirt was absorbed and removed, leaving a clean fresh smell.
Carpet CPR is also great for red wine, food stains, fruit juice, dirt, grease, coffee/tea, lipstick, ink, as well as pet stains. Spray carpet cleaners make effective laundry stain pre-treatment as well.

New Product -- Out of Sight Litter Box

The Out of Sight Litter Box is a self-contained litter box cabinet designed by Paul Pettys who lives in Rock Hill near one of our favorite cities, Charlotte NC. The litter box's design and function earned Mr. Pettys a 2009 Editor's Choice Award from Cat Fancy Magazine last month.
The litter box resembles an end table. No more bending or kneeling to clean. The litter pan is located off the floor, so just open the top lid and scoop. The attractive cabinet hides the litter and helps stop the tracking. No more doggy access either.

Review: New York Times Tests 5 Clay-Free Cat Litters
What's the best cat litter for you and your cat? Primarily, one that your cat likes and will use. To help figure out which litter that is, Stephen Treffinger recently did a spot in the The New York Times evaluating five clay-free litters. His criteria: "how well it controlled odor, first and foremost, and for how well it clumped, how easy it was to scoop and how much the cats tracked it through their homes." Here's a snippet of his results:
Swheat Scoop
is made from naturally processed wheat. Verdict: great at absorbing smells, but crumbly clumps. Can be flushed.
Yesterday's News
is made primarily from recycled newspaper. Verdict: Poor odor control.
Katgo
is a cedar wood litter. Verdict: cheaper, controlled odor, clumps are easy to remove, but gets trapped in cat fur and is tracked "everywhere". Can be flushed.
Feline Pine
is made of compressed pine sawdust reclaimed from lumberyards. Verdict: "definite favorite" and good at controlling odors, but had to be stirred daily and became bloated and heavy over time.
World's Best Cat Litter
is made from whole-kernel corn. Verdict: easy clump removal, but tracked dust around the house. Can be flushed.
Get the whole scoop plus an excellent comparison graphic.
