From the manufacturer’s Safety Data Sheet, Section 8
“No H335, H334, H331, or H330 in SDS §2. Situational with enclosed_space trigger applies because hot-water extraction inside a vehicle cabin generates steam that may carry trace surfactant mist. This is a delivery-mechanism concern, not a chemistry-driven deduction.”

This product ranks #3 of 5 in Extractor Solution.

TL;DR CRI-certified for all carpet cleaning machines, no foam-overflow reports at the recommended dilution. Handles pet accidents, food spills, and set-in soiling in one to two passes. DANGER signal word · can cause permanent eye injury per SDS §2; wear goggles when handling undiluted.
Rocco & Roxie's oxy carpet shampoo is an extractor concentrate · mix two ounces per gallon of water, then pour the solution into your machine's clean-water tank. The encapsulation chemistry crystallizes around soil particles as heated water lifts them from carpet fibers, reducing re-soiling after dry-out. CRI-certified machine compatibility with no documented foam-overflow pattern reported by owners. Works on pet accidents, food spills, and dried mud; multiple passes may be needed for heavily set-in stains. No enzyme is present · odor removal relies on oxidation and fragrance.
A practical pick for extractor owners dealing with pet accidents and ground-in car carpet soiling. The 32 oz concentrate dilutes to many machine-tank fills at low cost per use. No extractor? Use a spray-agitate carpet cleaner instead · this formula needs machine extraction to rinse cleanly.
DANGER signal word per SDS §2 · serious eye damage potential from concentrate contact; wear goggles when filling the machine tank. H317 skin sensitizer: wear nitrile gloves during mixing. Working-solution scores reflect the standard 2 oz/gallon dilution. Formula is biodegradable and CARB-compliant; drain-destined via the machine recovery tank.
Two ounces per gallon of water for normal cleaning (1:64 dilution). For heavily soiled areas, the directions allow up to 6 oz per gallon (1:21). Start at the standard ratio · the encapsulation technology is designed to work at that dilution and higher concentrations increase residue risk.
Yes · the label says 'For use in ALL carpet cleaning machines' and the Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI) has certified it safe and effective for use in CRI-approved carpet cleaning equipment. Bissell and Hoover models are shown in the product images. Always check your machine manufacturer's guidance for third-party solutions.
No. The formula uses oxidizing chemistry (oxygen-releasing action from the peroxide blend) to break down stains, plus encapsulation technology that binds to soil particles and allows them to be vacuumed out when dry. There is no protease, urease, or other named enzyme in the ingredient list or SDS.
The product is marketed for upholstery as well as carpet, and the near-neutral pH (5.5·7.0 per the SDS) is gentle on most fabric types. CRI certification covers carpet compatibility specifically. Check your vehicle manufacturer's upholstery care guidance before using on specialty fabrics.
The DANGER classification comes from the concentrate form · the undiluted product can cause serious eye injury on contact per the SDS §2 classification. At the recommended working dilution (2 oz per gallon), that risk is substantially lower. The 'safe around pets' claim refers to the diluted solution when used as directed, not to the concentrate straight from the bottle.
