SANIC is safe for all upholstery and fabrics including mattresses, couches, carpets, cushions, car seats, pet beds, shoes, and dry-clean-only clothing. You can use SANIC on coloured fabrics, dark fabrics and white fabrics safely. SANIC is not effective on leather fabrics, although it will cause no harm.
Leave SANIC on for at least 20 minutes. For deeper cleaning or stubborn odours, you can leave it for 2 hours before vacuuming. You can also leave SANIC on overnight if that is more convenient for you.
SANIC helps neutralise odours that might attract pets back to the same spot, while absorbing moisture and fighting bacteria.
SANIC can be used immediately when the accident happens to absorb the urine and prevent it from soaking into the carpet. Depending on your type of carpet, we recommend going over the spot with some soap and water and a gentle scrubbing brush; however, not ALL carpets will tolerate this part well. You can use SANIC a second time to dry that spot you have just scrubbed and make sure no odours are left behind.
If it is an old stain that has a lingering odour that you are trying to get rid of, apply SANIC to the whole carpet or area where you think the accident has occurred, leave it overnight and vacuum the next morning. A thicker layer than regular application is best practice for neutralising the odour.
We recommend either Field Fresh or Floral Fresh for this issue because they are more fragrant than the other two products. These two fragrances are more likely to deter your pet from sniffing and identifying this carpet spot as their territory in the future.

SANIC can refresh dry-clean-only items very well and extend the time between professional cleanings. It’s not a complete replacement for all professional dry cleaning, it depends on the item and how it is worn, i.e touching the skin or only an outer lay that doesn’t touch the skin.

The freshening effects typically last several weeks, depending on how much traffic and pet dander is in your home. Regular use (every week) maintains optimal results. Remember, SANIC is a gently fragranced product with no synthetic fragrances; this means the scent will dissipate with time but the hygiene will remain. This is what makes it safer than other products.
