After cleaning, you will want to thoroughly rinse with water the cleaned area before the cleaner dries.

A:  It should clean it just fine. You may want to dilute a little bleach with water and spray that on first, let it sit 5 minutes or so, rinse. Then use this to clean and make it smell better. That's what I do with my dog.
