Review: Kids 'N' Pets Instant All-Purpose Stain & Odor Remover Wipes

Paw prints. Finger prints. Food and drink smudges. In your house, stains and odors are more consistent than the delivery of the newspaper, often appearing out of thin air and trailing your kids and pets wherever they go. That’s why we created a brand new product that combines the effective, non-toxic, enzyme based formula of our most popular spray product with the ease and flexibility of a wipe. KIDS ‘N’ PETS new Instant All-Purpose Stain & Odor Remover Wipes eliminate tough stains and odors at home and on-the-go by simply wiping it away.

Not a butt-wipe, not a bleach wipe! Our biodegradable, multipurpose formula can be used on any water safe surface to clean up messes fast while tackling smelly surface stains safely and effectively – neutralizing and eliminating the odor instead of masking it with a different scent like many other solutions on the shelf.

Car seat cover full of food smudges? Wipe it away! Show up at work with fingerprints or make-up on your blouse? Wipe it away! Muddy paw prints on your pants or carpet? Wipe it away! Mysterious stain on your sofa? Wipe it away!

Our Thoughts
Kids 'N' Pets products are a staple in our household with a child and dog.  Although, it's mostly stains from the dogs over the years rather than the  one child.  Mostly. :) I do have one cream-colored upholstered chair I am rather fond of that has gotten fairly dirty over the years and I was contemplating the best way to go about cleaning it, especially the place where he-who-shall-not-be-named spilled his cappuccino on it.  Most of it was mopped up, but the hidden part was not. Seems there was plenty of dog hair and a piece of a chip down there too!



The wipes are meant to be pulled thru the small opening in the lid for maximum evaporation protection, but honestly I found it easier to just remove the lid entirely and take the wipes out from there.  There is no excess liquid in the container and due to that natural phenomenon called gravity, the wipes are much more saturated down at the bottom than they are at the top.  I found that to clean this old, dried cappuccino stain, I needed to use the saturated part first and scrub pretty hard.  It took 3 wipes for this area to come clean.  And I realized while scrubbing the best part about these wipes: they don't shred!


If you look closely at the top right of this photo you'll see a stain line I still need to clean up.  It's hard to judge when the fabric is wet with cleaner whether or not you've gotten it all.  It's easy enough to simply let it dry and tackle it again another day if you need to.

Since we somehow didn't happen to have any accidental spills in the duration of this review, I tackled some other older stains I'd been neglecting. The top front half as well as the vertical front part of the chair's cushion was dingy from years of use; I did find it harder to saturate, then scrub using just the wipes, so I grabbed my trusty spray container of Kids 'N' Pets (which I purchased at Walmart), sprayed the area, let it sit a few minutes, and used the thankfully non-shredding Kids 'N' Pets Wipes to clean it.  Again, it's a little hard to see if you got the area clean when the fabric is wet, so be sure to inspect it after it dries and see if you need to re-apply and clean some more.  The below photo is after the first round of cleaning.  I think I got it about 80% clean, but even still it's a huge improvement over looking at a plainly dingy chair!


Another item I attempted to clean was our couch.  With his sensory needs, our son always has his hands in his mouth and subsequently gets drool in the same 3 places on the couch thanks to his saturated hands.   Like the chair above, I sprayed the area first, let it sit, and then scrubbed with the wipes and was even more thankful for their non-shreddi-ness (is that even a word??). I went thru a pile of the wipes cleaning the couch.  That's a cleaning project I'll be repeating over the years until he can fulfill his sensory needs in a less-wet manner.

I also used the KIDS ‘N’ PETS Instant All-Purpose Stain & Odor Remover Wipes on our big front window - I figured the "cleaned" window would have smears, and it did, but that wasn't my concern.  Our son's wet hands are frequently in contact with the window which leads to a buildup of drool.  Glass cleaner can remove it, but it takes some scrubbing.  The wipes cut right thru the dried drool easy as pie and then I just finished up the window with a 50/50 vinegar/water solution to clear the smears.

The adorable, now house-trained puppy in the above photo is responsible for two small stains on the 8 year old carpet that I have as yet to be able to fully remove using Kids 'N' Pets nor any other carpet cleaner (actually there's 4 carpet stains, 2 of which were from a dog that spent a week here). Next time I attempt it, I'm going to take their suggestion from their "Spill It" Q&A on their Facebook page, where they recommend using a half or even a FULL bottle on one stain and letting it air dry.  I hadn't tried using near that much, so next time we're going on vacation, I'll dump a whole lot on the stains and they can air dry while we're gone.

Again, Kids 'N' Pets products are used often in this house - highly recommend!

My Thoughts



I was very impressed with the Fresh Wave products. I used the Fresh Wave odor removing gel in my down stairs bathroom where I keep the kitty litter box. It's a small room, so often times it's kinda stinky. So I felt this would be the perfect room for this product. I have noticed a fresher scent in the bathroom and have been pleased with how long the gel as lasted and kept its fragrance. In the past, products like this might work for only a week, but so far this one has been going strong for several weeks. It's meant to last for 60 days.


Another of the new products is the Fresh Wave odor eliminating spray. I was very impressed with this one. It worked very well. I tested this also in the small bathroom downstairs and the odor was eliminated right away, not returning. This has now become my go-to when I want to freshen up the living room or the curtains around the front door. It has a nice light fragrance. I can't quite pin point what the smell is, but it's pleasant.



And finally, there is the odor removing packs, meant to be placed somewhere to keep the area fresh. Such as your underwear drawer. This also has the same fragerance as the others. A nice light smell that isn't too overpowering.

I really liked these products and I will be continuing to use them in my home, especially with them being GMO free and organic.

Our Thoughts
I don't know about you, but the older I get, the cleaner I eat, and the healthier I live, the more sensitive I am to chemicals, from food to fragrances.  I remember years ago just using whatever brand of laundry detergent smelled good at the store.  Now, I make my own laundry detergent and occasionally scent it with essential oils, although I usually leave it unscented.  I also like to purchase second hand clothes - can get some really awesome deals!  But while the laundry detergent I make gets things clean, it doesn't eliminate those incredibly strong fragrances left behind by commercial detergents and fabric softeners, unless I wash said items about 6 -7 times in a row.
Timilon sent me both the powder and liquid OdorKlenz Odor Elimination Laundry Additives to try.  I had some things set aside for when I had time to wash, wash, wash to try getting those odors out. While their products are useful for removing a variety of different odors like smoke, mildew, cooking, skunk, diesel, musty odors - what really got my attention was that OdorKlenz Laundry additive can be used to remove fragrances in clothing previously washed with scented detergents and/or fabric softeners.

The first items I washed were some blankets my husband insisted smelled like the dog - well, she does love to lay on them!  After seeing how they just smelled like blankets with the first round of the powdered laundry additive, I then washed her bed.  Came out clean smelling too!
The real test though - I recently bought an adorable shark t-shirt for my son secondhand but wow, did it REEK like fabric softener!  I had already washed it several times and it still stunk.  I threw it in the washer with the liquid laundry additive (it recommends it be added directly to the stinky item) and I must have sniffed it 30 times after it came out of the dryer - there was NO smell! I could hardly believe it!  I even took it out of the drawer a few days later to sniff it again - still completely scent-free! 
OdorKlenz Odor Elimination Laundry Additives are non-bleaching or staining, and most importantly, there are no masking agents or additional fragrances are added so your laundry will come out clean and fragrance free - and trust me, it will be exactly that - fragrance free!  I think I'm in love!
