Woolite P.O.D.
We love a gadget, especially one that only costs a few bucks, which is why we purchased the new Woolite Portable Oxy Deep (aka, P.O.D.). The Woolite website says that the P.O.D. for pet stains isn’t available yet, but that’s the one we purchased at the grocery store. I tried it on a few old cat vomit stains in the guest bedroom, and it actually worked really well. I was skeptical, because you just rub the solution into the stain and let it dry—you don’t sop it up with a towel or anything, like you do with OxyClean. When I went back into the bedroom the day after cleaning, however, the stains were definitely gone. I can’t say for sure that they’re 100% gone, because the lighting in the room isn’t the best, but I can say that the stains were very prominent, and now I can’t see them at all.
The P.O.D. isn’t very large, so it won’t last very long if you have a lot of big stains to clean up. It’s unfortunately not refillable, which really bugs me, but it’s supposedly recyclable. That’s great, except that a new P.O.D. will cost you about $5 or $6. I’d much rather refill the one I have than pay all that money every time we need a new one. I guess it’s less expensive than the Bissell SpotBot that I still don’t own, however, so that’s a plus.
I need to invoke my own BlogPound rating system for all the products I write about. If I had one, and was rating on a scale of one to five, I’d rate the P.O.D. about a 4. It can’t be a 5 because it’s non-refillable, and because it makes me get on my hands and knees to use.
