I was amazed at how well this product works. I own 2 dogs and somehow my Kirby Sentria stays on top of all the pet hair and dirt that gets tracked in! It was an expensive purchase, but well worth it. Recently, I shampooed my carpets after almost an entire year of neglect. I was amazed at how much dirt and grime came out, but was still skeptical because it had been so long since I have shampooed. I grabbed a white towel and blotted the carpet to see how much excess dirt remained on the carpet. To my amazement the towel stayed white, no excess dirt or grime. I kept using my towel over the entire carpet… I thought for sure SOMEWHERE there would be dirt. After about 20 minutes, I gave up… The Kirby shampoo did the trick!! Rating: 5 / 5

Kirby’s carpet shampoo when used with Kirby Generation shampooing attachment cleans very well without the wet soaking mess of commercial so called “steam cleaners”.

The shampoo seems to bond with dirt with minimal water, drying time is minimal, and follow-up vacuum leaves carpet shiny. Highly recommended. Rating: 5 / 5

Several months ago, after an all-afternoon tussle with a door-to-door Kirby salesman, I managed to avoid buying a complete and new vacuum system, and instead bought from him a used previous generation Kirby to use only for carpet shampooing. I’ve been pleased with the vac, and I’ve also found that Kirby’s Allergen shampoo is great stuff!

We have cats. One of them is old and has a hard time finding her litter box. She prefers a short section of carpeted hallway – for convenience, I guess, but for us, it stinks. Murdering her (aka “putting her down”) just isn’t an option. Love gets in the way.

This shampoo is great at all carpet cleaning, and to our relief, it’s also excellent at removing urine smell. That effect is only good until she decides to use the carpet again, but my shampooer is all set up and ready for action, and every time we’ve had a nose-full, or we have friends on their way here, I just pour in water with Kirby’s shampoo, clean away, and the problem is solved.

A gallon, by the way, gives a LOT of shampoo sessions, and the scent is pleasant, almost undetectable, and quickly dissipates. Rating: 5 / 5

There’s no sweet smell to this product. The smell is actually neutral. Simple and easy like most other shampoos. Works well. I use it in an Extractor which heats the water to 210 degrees Fahrenheit and it does not excessively foam up in the tank. I’ll buy this one again. Rating: 5 / 5
