From the manufacturer’s Safety Data Sheet, Section 8
“No H335 on the SDS, but aerosol foam dispensed inside the vehicle cabin is a semi-enclosed inhalation scenario. The H340/H350 CMR classification — driven by trace 1,3-butadiene in the hydrocarbon propellant — makes this pathway more consequential than in products without CMR codes.”

29 CFR 1910.1000; 1910.1200
“Each employer shall assure that no employee is exposed to an inhalation concentration of any substance shown in Tables Z-1, Z-2, or Z-3 in excess of the limits in the tables.”

CarCareTruth's Analysis
Last reviewed May 15, 2026
TL;DR Strong stain lifter on dried mud, pet accidents, food, and grease — no wet-vac required. No enzyme chemistry, so pet odors are masked rather than neutralized. GHS DANGER signal word — H340 (mutagenicity) and H350 (carcinogenicity) from trace 1,3-butadiene in the aerosol propellant.
What it is and how it performs
Spray onto floor carpet, scrub with the built-in brush, and blot with shop towels. Community results on dried stains are strong — pet vomit, road salt, mud, mold, and hydraulic fluid cleaned to like-new condition. The brush frequently detaches per reviews, and the foam can leave residual suds.
Who should buy this — and who should skip it
A fit for anyone tackling food, dirt, salt, and mud on OEM-style cut-pile carpet who wants a one-product spray-and-scrub solution. Buyers with persistent pet urine odor need a formula with confirmed enzyme chemistry. The DANGER health profile — H340/H350 from the propellant — is a factor for repeated-use scenarios.
Safety and environmental impact
DANGER signal word — H340 (germ cell mutagenicity Cat 1B) and H350 (carcinogenicity Cat 1A) from trace 1,3-butadiene in the hydrocarbon propellant. The consumer can says "CAUTION" under FHSA/CPSC rules; the GHS classification is DANGER. H319 and H315 (eye and skin irritation) also classified. Aerosol foam inside the vehicle cabin creates a semi-enclosed inhalation scenario that the CMR classification makes more consequential. SDS §15 confirms no Proposition 65 chemicals — the Amazon Prop 65 flag is a false positive.
Frequently asked questions
Why does the SDS say DANGER but the can says CAUTION?▾
The consumer label uses the FHSA/CPSC labeling standard, which classifies this product as 'CAUTION' (eye irritant, contents under pressure). The GHS Safety Data Sheet uses the GHS classification system, which assigns DANGER based on H340 (mutagenicity) and H350 (carcinogenicity) from trace 1,3-butadiene in the propellant. Both labels describe the same product — the GHS SDS captures chronic-exposure hazards that the consumer FHSA label does not address.
Does the Prop 65 warning on Amazon mean this product contains carcinogens?▾
The Amazon Prop 65 flag is a false positive for this product. The SDS §15 explicitly states that this product does not contain any Proposition 65 chemicals. The H350 carcinogenicity classification is a GHS classification based on trace 1,3-butadiene in the propellant — a different regulatory framework from California Prop 65.
Does the built-in scrub brush stay attached?▾
Multiple reviewers report the detachable micro-scrub brush cap snapping off or falling off during use. Some users superglue it back on; others use the brush hand-held after it detaches. The cleaning formula itself gets high marks regardless of brush durability.
What does 'OXY Brighteners' mean — is there an oxidizer in the formula?▾
The SDS §3 ingredient list shows no peroxide, percarbonate, or oxidizing agent. The cleaning mechanism is purely surfactant-based (sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium lauroyl sarcosinate, lauramine oxide). 'OXY Brighteners' appears to be a marketing term without a corresponding active chemistry in the current formulation.
Does this eliminate pet odors?▾
The product reduces odors through surfactant-based soil removal and fragrance masking. The SDS confirms no enzyme chemistry (no urease, protease, or other odor-targeting enzyme). For persistent pet urine odor at the fiber base, an enzyme-based carpet cleaner with confirmed urease or protease in the ingredient list will provide longer-lasting odor neutralization.

Great for pet stains in the house, too!
I bought this in case anyone spilled anything in my new-to-me car. Luckily, it stayed in the trunk most of the winter because no tragedies occurred in the car.Then, the cat decided to vomit all over the stairs in the middle of the night. I cleaned with the traditional enzyme pet cleaners on some of the stains, but it didn't do much on the brown stains. Then I remembered I had this in the car. Sprayed it on the stains, rubbed with the brush, blotted it up with paper towels and.... WOW! No stains and no odors. It's been over a month and the carpet still looks great. No lingering scent and the carpet looks perfect.Will buy more to have in the house and in the car. Worked great!Hope you found this review helpful!
