Enzymes: The secret weapon in removing animal odours

Are you using an enzymatic odour remover in your vet clinic, kennel, cattery or zoo? If the answer is no, then you’ll never get on top of animal odours.
But there’s no need to put up with a lingering smell of animal urine.
What makes enzymatic cleaners so effective?
Enzymatic odour eliminators neutralise animal odours at their source by breaking down the molecules causing the offensive smell.
While all-purpose cleaning solutions can help with the 95%+ water content of animal urine, they have minimal effect on uric acid, and will only help it biodegrade extremely slowly. This is a particular problem in the veterinary and animal care industry as new urine appears multiple times a day.
Enzymatic odour cleaners such as Safe4’s Odour Killer speed up this biodegradation process in seconds, removing the uric acid and smell. The same happens with faeces.
Formulated for use around animals
Like all Safe4 products, our Odour Killer is completely non-toxic, non-corrosive, non-irritant and non-staining. It doesn’t contain any phenols, aldehydes, or alcohol, and is completely biodegradable.
This means that the product is completely safe for staff and the animals they care for but is still highly effective in eliminating offensive smells. Because it is non-toxic, there is no need to rinse the product after application.
How to use the Odour Killer product
All you need to do is spray the Odour Killer solution in the direction of where the offensive odour is coming from. Once it has come into contact with the matter causing the smell, the enzymes and essential oils that make up the solution will come into contact with the matter, break down the molecules causing the smell, and eliminate them. The recommended dilation for the concentrated products is 1-part Odour Killer to 50-parts tap water.
Is it time to swap to an enzymatic odour remover?
Once you try an enzymatic odour remover, you’ll never use anything else for animal odours. The Safe4 Odour Killer product is used by some of the world’s leading zoos, a range of university-based animal research facilities and an ever-increasing number of kennels, catteries, and vet clinics across Australia.
