Spot may be necessary for very dark or old stains. Hot Spot
should be allowed to completely dissipate on the stain. Do not
scrub or wash after application. Hot Spot works well on soda,
juice, milk, wine, beer, food residue, oil, urine, vomit, and most
other organic matter.

cans, simply spray Hot Spot to lightly coat the surface and allow
it to dissipate. For litter boxes, coat the base of the box then
add the normal amount of litter directly on top. Other dirty or
smelly surfaces may also be treated with Hot Spot. Avoid treating direct food-contact surfaces with Hot Spot.
