CarCareTruth's Analysis
Last reviewed May 15, 2026
TL;DR Aerosol foam with a built-in brush cap for general fabric and carpet stains — no wet-vac required. The "Odor Eliminator" claim has no disclosed enzyme chemistry, so pet odors may return. GHS H319 means eye irritation is a documented pathway during cabin application.
What it is and how it performs
Aerosol foam with an integrated brush cap — spray, scrub with the built-in bristles, and blot with shop towels. The foam lifts general soiling (food, drink, tracked-in dirt) through surfactant action. Reviews confirm it handles general fabric stains, though automotive-specific carpet data is limited. The odor-eliminator claim lacks enzyme chemistry, so odor reduction comes from soil removal rather than neutralization. Heavy stains may need repeat passes.
Who should buy this — and who should skip it
A grab-and-go option for quick spot treatments on cut-pile carpet and fabric upholstery — no dilution, no separate brush needed. Skip it for pet odor elimination (a product with enzyme chemistry will outperform on urine sources) and for leather, suede, silk, velvet, or clear plastic — the label excludes those surfaces.
Safety and environmental impact
WARNING signal word with H319 eye irritation — the back label specifies avoiding eye contact and a 15-minute water flush. Aerosol mist inside the vehicle cabin creates a real inhalation pathway in enclosed-space use. The solvent component carries aquatic toxicity, amplified by the drain-destined use pathway. No modern GHS SDS available — scoring relies on a 2002 pre-GHS MSDS and 2019 California ingredient disclosure.
Frequently asked questions
Does Blue Coral DC22 actually eliminate odors or just mask them?▾
The product claims 'Odor Eliminator' on the label, but the CA ingredient disclosure lists only Isobutane (propellant) and Morpholine (solvent) — no enzyme chemistry (protease, urease) is disclosed. The likely odor-reduction mechanism is surfactant-based soil removal that lifts the odor source material, not chemical neutralization. For genuine pet urine odor elimination, a product with disclosed enzyme chemistry targeting urea would be more effective.
Can I use DC22 on leather or suede seats?▾
No — the label explicitly states 'Do not use on suede, leather, silk, velvet or clear plastic.' The product is designed for carpet, upholstery fabric, and floor mats only.
Do I need a wet-vac or extractor to use DC22?▾
No — the aerosol foam is designed for spray, brush with the built-in cap, and blot with shop towels. The brush cap is integrated into the can for manual agitation. A wet-vac can improve results on heavily soiled carpet but is not required for typical cleaning per the product's instructions.

Works amazing!
Fantastic. Didn’t expect much and so surprised! I cleaned a recliner with tweed-ish upholstery. It totally removed the stain and smell from an old guy’s head. For that I applied the cleaner and worked it in good with the cap and then used a steam cleaner on it before it dried. Totally removed dog puke stains on light colored carpet that other carpet cleaners couldn’t do. I didn’t use the steam on the carpets, the cleaner did it on its own. I was amazed how good and fast this stuff worked!!
