I use it on my kitchen counters, the dishes that are used to feed feral cats down the street, stains on my jackets, floors, particularly the messes left by a menagerie of animals in the cellar...ranging from all the bodily messes to remnants of food on the cement floor. I generally clean up as much of whatever mess it is and then spray the area. I leave it for ten minutes, clean off the first round of spray and then I spray a thorough spray, allowing it to work and dry. If there is anything remaining after that, I repeat the process. For my linoleum floor, I simply spray an area, leave it for ten minutes and then clean it and dry it with paper towels. I should have stock in MPP and in Bounty paper towels. Your product works better than white vinegar and it is far more safe than Clorox because I shun chemicals. Messes on the carpet from the dogs are a bit harder to clean. It takes several applications and drying in between to eradicate the smells and the stain, but it still works better than anything else I have ever used.
