The Granulated Sand is not a carpet freshner like you have in big box stores, this is by far the strongest pet and odor remover for carpet on the market. We always tell our customers it only takes a tablespoon to kill the odor in your vacuum cleaner, and it is safe in bag type vacuums as well as bagless. This air freshner will not clog your vacuum bag or your bagless filter because it is granulated and does not stick to filters. This air freshner comes in a 1 lb bottle and air freshens your entire home.
