FAQs

Why does Kinderbean No-Stress Mess Eraser come with a squeeze top instead of a trigger sprayer?

Enzyme cleaners work differently from common household cleaners. They need enough time to penetrate the stain and “eat” the biological compounds that cause stains and odors. And they can only do that when the stain is saturated with the cleaner. Carpet, upholstery, and fabrics are more difficult to penetrate with a spray bottle, so the universal squeeze top is the best solution and can be used on textiles and hard surfaces alike. However, a spray bottle for vertical surfaces is in production.

What surfaces does Kinderbean No-Stress Mess Eraser work on?

How long do I need to leave Kinderbean No-Stress Mess Eraser to effectively remove odors and stains?

For carpets, upholstery, and fabrics, saturate the stain area and leave on for 12-24 hours.

Let the product penetrate the area, 5-10 minutes for sealed surfaces, and 3-5 minutes for unsealed surfaces. Then gently wipe away most of the liquid, leaving some dampness to air dry.

Who created the Kinderbean No-Stress Mess Eraser?

The Kinderbean brand is the labor of love from devoted pet parent and blogger, Kristen Levine. Her dog, Chilly (affectionately called “Chilly Bean”) was the inspiration behind the name, “Kinderbean.” As a small business owner and pet mom to over 30 pets in her lifetime, she understood the frustration pet parents have over their pet’s indoor peeing, pooping, and puking. After becoming disenchanted with cleaning options on the market, she decided to launch her first pet mess cleaning product in 2022.
