Sometimes homemade cleaning remedies just don’t work. In the past few years I’ve tried so hard to clean or fix problems around our home with as many non-commercial remedies as possible – yet I seem to get nowhere.
For instance, I thought I could clean my toddler’s poop stain off of our carpet with baking soda and water. That was a huge disaster. (Weeks later I discovered my idea wasn’t completely unreasonable – I found a recipe that worked wonders.) I’ve gotten similar results when I try to unclog our drains by using baking soda and white vinegar – it just hasn’t been effective.
When I was asked to sample Unique Natural Products, I was willing – but doubtful. If their products truly were natural, would their Carpet Shampoo and Stain Remover, Pet Odor and Stain Eliminator, and Super Digest-It Safe Drainer Opener really work?
My experience
I was thrilled to find out they did work. And I had plenty of opportunity to try them:
- I removed some stubborn paint and marker stains from our carpet with the Carpet Shampoo and Stain Remover.
- After several accidents from our potty trained but distracted daughter, I was able to clean up puddles of urine on our carpet and mattress with the Carpet Shampoo and Stain Remover.
- Once I removed some pretty nasty clumps of my hair from our drains, I helped unclog our drains with the Super Digest-It Safe Drainer Opener.
- And even though we don’t own pets, I sampled the Pet Odor and Stain Eliminator during my family’s recent bout with the stomach flu. It cleaned up vomit stains wonderfully. (I have a feeling the stomach flu might get a little more tolerable once my little ones are old enough to know to run to the toilet instead of Mama.)
How do they work?
Compared to toxic varieties of stain removers and drain openers, Unique Natural Products have light, natural smells.
But how are they so effective?
Unique products help eliminate organic waste – like grease, food, dirt, blood, urine and feces – with the help of non-pathogenic bacteria and enzymes. Instead of using chemicals to break down part of the waste, Unique’s bacteria and enzymes digest the organic waste and turn it into water and carbon dioxide.
Water sources aren’t affected, septic systems benefit from the added bacteria, and consumers can use a safe product. Unique products are safe for garbage disposals, metal pipes, and septic systems.
What’s available?
Unique Natural Products come in eleven different varieties: Carpet Shampoo, Grime Eater, Marine Digest-It Holding Tank Treatment, Pet Odor and Stain Eliminator, RV Digest-It Holding Tank Treatment, Septic Field Rejuvenator, Septic System Digester, Skunk Odor Eliminator, Super Digest-It Safe Drain Opener, Unique Complete Odor and Stain Eater, and Wine Stain Eater.
The products are available online and at more than 3,000 retail stores across the United States.
