Stain and odor decision tool

Before you scrub, check the risk.

Some messes only need a calm wipe-down. Others soak into foam, carpet padding, seams, vents, and seatbelts. Use this to get the first move, the wrong move to avoid, and the best next step.

Simple jobs stay simple Odor and spills get routed correctly Mobile and fleet needs do not get buried
