New Product Reveiw: Nature's Miracle or Petastic "Stain & Odor Remover"

[beverlybdmd]

I have used over 2 gallons of this product so far, and I would recommend it highly. It works great for just what its supposed to do--get stains & odors out of carpets and upholstery (which is why I originally bought it.) BUT it also kills the Morgies while it does that, AND it has a residual effectiveness and potency that leaves that area toxic to any parasites that are in CONTACT with it for a period of time. LIKE when you just sit on a couch or mattress after it has been treated--YOUR parasites start dying, or trying to leave you!! So, imagine treating your rugs, chairs, bed, sofa, and the rest of your home. And then spending a LOT of time there, allowing your parasites to simply DIE. (treat lots of areas initially and spend lots of time--I am sure that they will develop tolerance like everything else eventually...)
It CAN be used for your laundry and washables, as well, BUT I doubt that it would have that incredible residual effectiveness afterwords once they went through the rest of the washing. Still you could treat after washing, if something was being stubborn, and then just hang it up to dry completely. I haven't figured that one out all the way--mostly my regular laundry methods have been working. I am using it on my Quilts and blankets now, though, and pillows. ESPECIALLY, helpful since I have conclusively (for MY mind) confirmed that the vinyl slip covers are completely in-effective--JUST like latex gloves, they can 'go right through them, if they need to get to the other side.'

I am hating to leave to go back to my diseased Big House to keep cleaning...

You can buy it in little spray bottles at Pet Smart, or even in a Gallon and a half battery-operated sprayer model jug for about $35. I got the Gal and half (192 fl. oz.) for $29 (w/o auto-sprayer) deal. There is even a special orange citrus formula. You can get this same thing online from the manufacturer at:
http://valtecindustries.com/Merchant..._Code=Petastic (apparently they supply the product to another retailer who actually markets it as Nature's Miracle, while the manufacturer calls it "petastic" If you buy the big size, there is no shipping.)

Here is what the manufacturer says about the product:
Nature's Miracle consists of billions of natural enzymes that turn organic stains and odor causing materials into a liquid that you simply wipe away. Eliminates stains and odors from pet accidents permanently--even urine odors other products fail to remove--with no perfume cover-up. For use on carpets, floors, furniture, clothing, cages, litter boxes, bird cages, and all pet living and sleeping areas. Restores color and luster to floors, carpets, and upholstery.

* Non-toxic.
* Non-flammable.
* Non-caustic.
* Non-acid.
* Safe to use around children and pets.
* Safe for use on colors and on all water-safe surfaces.

Directions for use:

1. Shake well.
2. Before using, test surfaces to be treated for color fastness by applying to a hidden area; wipe with a cloth. If color is removed from the test area, do not use this product on those surfaces.
3. Always use this product full strength. Do not dilute!
4. Always using this product first on stains, other cleaners and detergents my fail and chemically ''set'' stains that will then be impossible to remove.

For Odor Elimination
Wipe up excess odor-causing material. Then thoroughly soak the entire area with this product. In carpets, apply enough to reach urine penetration in the pad and floor. This may mean lifting carpet and applying directly to pad and floor. Depending on air circulation, carpets and upholstery may take up to 2 weeks to dry completely.

If after 2 weeks, there is still an odor, this means that the product did not reach ALL the odor-causing material (e.g. urine). Pinpoint odor source and repeat cleaning process.

For Stain Removal
Wipe us as much of stain as possible, then thoroughly soak stain with this product. Wait five minutes, then wipe away with a cloth. For tough stains, use a stiff bristle brush. If stain is not completely removed, re-soak area and allow product to work for one hour, then wipe stain with a cloth.

Ingredients: water, nature's enzymes, isopropyl, alcohol, natural citrus scent.

WOW! Thanks Dr. Beverly, great post. Probably really good for the car also. I'm going to put it into my product rotation.

Thank you for the post. I have noticed that they can permeate many things, but I do feel that the mattress and pillow covers improved our condition tremendously. I just went back to wearing gloves for a few days because my hands and nails became infected and were giving me problems with everything I touched. There is a very strange thing that I want to report. I believe the gloves do help, but when I put the AmLactin or DSP on my hands and then put the gloves on, the gloves will break apart in the areas that are very infested. I know this for sure. There is no coincidence about it. When my hands clear up and I do the same procedure, the gloves remain intact. I do not find them getting in except from the wrists if I am doing a big clean up.

I have to admit that I become more and more respectful of the tanacity of this darned thing.

Thanks again.

I have found some MORE info about how this product works with the Morgie parasites.

If I am treating something that I just won't part with, (wall-to-wall carpet, sofa, favorite sweater, favorite quilt) that has begun to "bite" me, I usually will SATURATE-spray it with the Nature's miracle spray, and then let it sit for a few days and dry out completely.

What I have noticed is that some of these objects, develop very localized little patches of tiny surface bubbles, almost like foam, as I am spraying. The sprayer often spits out SOME bits of foam--BUT, in the other areas, it just soaks right into the cloth. Those areas,where the bubbles stay on the surface for an extra 3-4 minutes are the areas of concentrated Morgie fiber parasites, AND THEY ARE FORMING SOME SORT OF PROTECTIVE "SKIN" BUBBLE TO KEEP THE KILLING SOLUTION OFF OF THEM! They are usually over the areas of heavy stitching, pockets, or corner edges--just where the fiber beasts like to hide! If I don't do anything more, the treatment will FAIL; and those areas will still BITE me when the solution dries. BUT, if I get some oxy-clean powder and sprinkle THAT onto the bubbles--they ALL collapse, and I can see that the area is nice and wet with with the treatment solution. NOW, I am waiting for it to dry out to see how well the powder vacuums up, and IF the whole treatment is going to be completely successful this time, like I HOPE.

Any way, at very least a heavy presence of persistent fine bubbles, means heavy infestation--THIS is also true when you are rinsing off the Oxygenated dish soap under hot water, I noticed. Take a really grody, nasty old sticky yellowed plastic lid from something and try it out to see what I out I mean. Or something that has been sitting by the stove or grease hood or under the sink. Or compare an area of your infested skin, with UN-infested skin! Look at the difference in the bubbles as you rinse the soap off--it will tell you about HOW CLEAR the infestation IS.

Oh NO!! KH-You are gonna be bummed,
today I went back and decided that I like the "dual-action Orange-Oxy Power" Nature's Miracle BETTER than the plain odor & stain Remover type.
I know that you mentioned that you had switched and TAKEN yours BACK, because it didn't seem to have all the same ingredients. Well, I have tried BOTH now.
The orange one has some oxygenating power IN it that seems to collapse those little bubble-shields that the morgies try to form. When I spray an area that starts to foam & bubble up with the ORANGE one, once it gets saturated, the foam collapses and just soaks back IN, like in the areas where there isn't any Morgies, where it never foamed up in the first place. (Unlike the regular, the foam doesn't soak in, the bubbles just slowly dry, or pop, in a different manner in those infested areas, so I have more treatment failures.)
I think the Orange-Oxy is more effective...
