For first time use, test for colorfastness in an inconspicuous area before use. Certain stains may cause permanent discoloration and may be impossible to remove. Results may vary with carpets previously cleaned with surfactant-based carpet cleaners.
May be used with all types of liquid-extraction carpet cleaning equipment. May also be diluted for use as a traffic lane prespray, bonnet cleaner and/or spot remover on watersafe carpet & upholstery.
Prior to cleaning, vacuum carpet thoroughly. Gently remove surface soils. Extract wet soils or blot up with a clean absorbent colorfast cloth. Try to keep as much of the soil as possible from penetrating into the carpet. Do not rub, as rubbing may alter the carpet texture.
Follow steps 1-3 for extraction cleaning.
Note: Mix fresh dilutions daily.
STEP 1. Traffic Lane Pretreatment for Sprayer or Bonnet Cleaning Applications: Dilute 8 oz. per gallon of water (1:16) to pretreat heavy traffic areas. Apply using an industrial sprayer or bonnet cleaning machine following manufacturer’s instructions. Wait 5 minutes until soil loosens. Continue with Steps 2 and 3.
STEP 2. Spot Remover (as needed): Dilute 4 oz. per gallon of water (1:32) in spray bottle. Adjust spray nozzle to spray position. Spray directly onto soiled area. Wait 5 minutes until soil loosens. Blot with a clean colorfast towel or continue with extraction cleaning. Continue with Step 3.
STEP 3. Extraction Cleaner: Recommended dilution is 2 oz. per gallon of water (1:64). Follow manufacturer’s directions for specific machine used.

3-in-1 refers to three different cleaning methods available in one product. OdoBan® 3-in-1 Carpet Cleaner can be mixed in a solution of 8 ounces per gallon of water (or a 1:16 ratio) for a Traffic Lane Prespray. Wait 5 minutes before extraction cleaning. The same cleaner can be mixed in a solution of 2 ounces per gallon of water for use in Carpet Extraction Cleaning Machines. The 3-in-1 Carpet Cleaner can also be mixed in a dilution of 8 ounces per gallon of water for use in Bonnet Cleaning, following directions for the specific machine used. Bonnet Cleaning is usually reserved for high traffic, very dirty areas. The Bonnet Cleaning method should be followed with carpet cleaning by the extraction method.
OdoBan® 3-in-1 Carpet Cleaner can be used in any carpet extraction cleaning machine. However, do NOT use hot water in the machine. OdoBan® 3-in-1 Carpet Cleaner delivers the best performance when used with cold water. Also, be sure to check the machine manufacturer instructions to ensure that use of a particular product does not void the machine’s warranty. Some manufacturer’s allow use of only particular products to honor warranties and product guarantees.
OdoBan® 3-in-1 Carpet Cleaner is a fast-drying formula. However, we don’t have an estimated drying time due to all machines being different in how well they extract excess moisture.
Yes, OdoBan® 3-in-1 Carpet Cleaner can be used for carpet in homes and cars. It can also be used in carpet extraction cleaning machines for upholstery.
OdoBan® 3-in-1 Carpet Cleaner is designed to clean normal day-to-day dirt, and does so very well. Cleaning of the soil is the first step in deodorization, but this product may or may not completely remove urine odor and stains, depending on the severity of the situation, the chemistry of the urine, and the particular substrate in question. For best results on pet stains, we recommended our OdoBan® Pet Oxy Stain Remover. This can be used by itself with a spray-and-blot method for spot treatments, or following use of 3-in-1 Carpet Cleaner. These 2 items are designed to work synergistically, so there is no need for concern of mixing chemicals on your carpet.

Used in my personal rug cleaner machine, did a fabulous job. The carpet was brownish in sections where the dogs would lay( 2 large German shepherds). I didn’t think anything would remove the staining, but this cleaner did and what a difference. The dirty water container on the machine was proof that the cleaner was working. Love the products. I also use the general disinfectant to clean my saddle pads, again a great washing away of the grime and dirt. Love this product too, don’t change anything, please!
After renting a house that had carpet with a very heavy dog odor I used the 3 in 1 Carpet cleaner in one of those large rental carpet cleaning machines and it worked great. The landlord had already cleaned the carpets with another brand of cleaning solution which was a failure. She was shocked at how much better the rooms smelled after I used the OdoBan. The smell was so bad that I had to sleep in the living room until I cleaned the carpets. She said that she’d be buying OdoBan to use in her personal house. I’ve used OdoBan for over 20 years but this was the first time I’ve used the carpet cleaner for machines and it was amazing. It worked without needing a perfumy cover up scent. I hate carpet but if you are stuck with carpet then use this stuff. You won’t be sorry!!!
I use the deodorizer but would like to know if the carpet cleaner requires rinsing as I use the bonnet system
It seems to be working great! Does anyone else use it second to make sure the smell is gone?
Most, if not all, consumer level carpet cleaners are NOT steam cleaners. They are extraction cleaners that use very warm water and sometimes hot air. Rarely, they have a heating element that keeps the water warm or hot, but does NOT produce large amounts of steam.
The term “steam cleaner” is often used but is misleading. It is slapped onto the box to give consumers the idea that their carpets are being sanitized with something better than just warm soap and water.
Off the top of my head I am unaware of any actual steam carpet cleaners that are available at a consumer level. So everyone thinking that you cannot use this in your Hoover/Bissell/etc that you bought at Home Depot/Amazon/WalMart, you should have no issues. Your machines are not steam machines. (If you have a Shark, it might be an exception..I haven’t used one.)
Didn’t work
When mixed to directions doesn’t clean well. If used with less water it works ok, but not as well as others.
I had great luck with the 3 in 1 carpet cleaner. Couldn’t be happier, however.. After reading this review I looked at the jug of cleaner. It clearly states in a red circle with white lettering, SAFE for use in all Deep Cleaning Machines. I love your products and will have to think about buying again as I am disappointed that it isn’t stated on the label. I used my new Hoover Power Scrub Elite Pet STEAM machine.
Kelly, what you and a lot of people don’t know is that steam/heat will MAGNIFY urine odors. It’s best removed with cooler water. Not all carpet cleaners are steam cleaners. Mine isn’t. Mine is a regular carpet cleaner, no steam. A steam cleaner performs a different task.
If you in fact used the Odoban 3-in-1 carpet cleaner solution, the directions on the jug says to add 2 oz. per gallon of water when using it in a carpet extractor machine. The 8 oz. per gallon of water instructions is meant to be used as a pretreatment in a spray bottle(after mixing the 8 oz in a gallon of water then putting some of that mixture in a spray bottle). Then spraying some of it over high traffic areas on the rug—not entire bottle of it but just enough as if you were using it as you would a stain remover on a spot such as spilled coffee, for example. I think you just misunderstood the directions when using solution in a carpet cleaning machine/extractor vs. the directions when mixing and using it for pretreatment. Hope this helps.
