Most of what you pay for in a bottle of pet stain remover is water, and the bottle. Shipping that around the country, then throwing the bottle away and buying an identical one a month later, is the part of the routine that never really made sense. A tablet is the same cleaner with the water left out, dropped into the sprayer you already have under the sink.

Each tablet dissolves in water to make a full bottle of cleaner, and the pack contains ten of them. It is formulated for the usual accidents, urine and vomit among them, across furniture, carpet, hard flooring and fabric. Ten bottles' worth arrives in something that fits through a letterbox and lives in a drawer, which matters if you have ever tried to find a home for a crate of spray bottles.

• Pack of 10 concentrated tablets
• Each tablet makes one full bottle of cleaner
• Tackles urine, vomit and general pet messes
• Use on furniture, carpet, hard flooring and fabric
• Refills a spray bottle you already own

Two things worth knowing. No spray bottle is included, so you will need one to hand before the first tablet is any use. And urine on carpet soaks down into the underlay, so any surface treatment deals with the stain and the smell you can reach rather than the source. Blot first, saturate the patch properly instead of misting it, and expect a set-in mark to take more than one go.

Who it's for: Owners who already keep a spray cleaner for accidents and want to restock it cheaply, with far less plastic going out each month.
