Pet Accidents and Urine Odour: Say Goodbye to Stubborn Smells with The Cleaning Enzymes Power

Pet accidents are a fact of life for pet owners, but dealing with the lingering odour of urine doesn't have to be. Whether you’re potty-training a puppy, dealing with a senior pet, or cleaning up after an unexpected mishap, enzyme-based cleaners offer a game-changing solution for truly eliminating odours at their source. Let’s explore how these natural cleaners can help you keep your home fresh and odour-free.

Why Pet Urine Smells So Stubborn

Pet urine can be a tricky problem because it contains uric acid crystals that cling to surfaces and penetrate deep into carpets, upholstery, and even wooden floors. When urine dries, it leaves behind these concentrated crystals, which are resistant to many traditional cleaners. Humidity or moisture can reactivate the smell, causing it to come back even after cleaning. Masking the smell with fragrances or using general-purpose cleaners won’t tackle the root of the problem, leaving odours to linger.

The Science Behind Enzyme Cleaners: Why They Work

Enzyme-based cleaners are specially formulated to break down the organic compounds in urine that cause odours. They use a combination of natural enzymes that digest the proteins and uric acid crystals in pet urine. This process doesn’t just mask the odour; it neutralizes the source, making it disappear for good. Here’s how it works:

• Protease enzymes break down protein-based stains.
• Urease enzymes target and digest the uric acid in urine.
• Lipase enzymes can help break down any fats or oils associated with the mess.

This trio of enzymes ensures a comprehensive approach to cleaning up after pets, leaving your home fresh and your surfaces truly clean.

Step-by-Step Guide to Using Enzyme Cleaners for Pet Accidents

1. Blot First, Don’t Rub
   When you spot an accident, blot up as much of the liquid as possible with a clean cloth or paper towel. Rubbing can push the urine deeper into the fibers, making the stain harder to treat.

2. Saturate the Area with "Relax" our Bathroom Cleaner and Odour Eliminator Enzyme Cleaner.
   Spray The Cleaning Enzymes’ pet-specific cleaner generously on the affected area. Make sure it penetrates deep into carpets, cushions, or any other surfaces where the urine has seeped in. For tougher or older stains, soaking the area for several minutes or covering it with a damp cloth can give the enzymes more time to work their magic.

3. Let the Enzymes Do Their Thing
   Enzymes need time to break down the organic materials, so allow the cleaner to sit for at least 10-15 minutes. For stubborn or older odours, leaving it to work overnight may yield even better results.

4. Blot Again and Rinse if Necessary
   After letting the cleaner sit, blot the area with a clean cloth to remove excess moisture. Rinse with water if needed, then let it air-dry. As the enzymes continue to work, they’ll ensure that any remaining traces of odour are fully eliminated.

Why Enzyme Cleaners Are Pet-Safe and Eco-Friendly

Enzyme-based cleaners are a safer option for households with pets because they are non-toxic, biodegradable, and gentle on surfaces. Unlike harsh chemical cleaners, they don’t leave behind harmful residues that could irritate your pet’s skin or pose health risks. This makes enzyme cleaners an ideal choice for areas that pets frequent, such as floors, pet beds, and crates​.

Pro Tip: Prevent Future Accidents

Pets often return to the same spot if they can still smell their previous accident. Using enzyme cleaners ensures that odour is fully neutralized, which helps discourage repeat behavior. In addition, adding potty-training pads or placing your pet’s bed over treated areas can further reduce the likelihood of future accidents.
