A trigger spray does a job a pour-and-blot bottle can't — reaching a vertical stain on a sofa back or a skirting board without the bottle needing to be tipped sideways.

This is a 2X Pro-Bacteria formula in a trigger spray format, aimed at urine, faeces and vomit on carpet, upholstery, bedding, fabric toys and clothing, and it's Woolsafe and Clean Seal approved. Simple Solution's method is to saturate the soiled area (penetrating the backing if needed), wait at least 10 minutes, blot the excess, then allow 24 to 48 hours to dry before vacuuming; once dry, rinsing with water and wiping with a damp cloth removes any residue. It's a 750ml bottle with a spring breeze fragrance.

Despite the name, it's not dog-only. This is labelled 'For Dogs', but Simple Solution's own compatibility notes say it's formulated for both dogs and cats — worth knowing if you were about to buy a second bottle for a cat in the same household when this one already covers it.

Who it's for: owners with a stain on a vertical or upright surface — a sofa back, a skirting board — where a trigger spray is easier to use than tipping a bottle.
