However, most dog enzyme cleaners add a certain amount of natural fragrance to their formula to help mask pet odors while the enzymes do their job. Sunny &amp; Honey\u2019s formulation uses just a drop of natural mint fragrance, the oils of which have been shown to dry faster and leave no residual smell. We think it\u2019s the best-smelling dog enzyme cleaner you can find &#8211; and it\u2019s equally as effective on stains and odors as other comparably-priced cleaners. Do note, however, that smell is a subjective quality &#8211; you may prefer one smell to another.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pros:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>All products made in the USA<\/li>\n<li>10% of profit goes to animal charities<\/li>\n<li>Also available in one-gallon size<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Cons:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sometimes requires multiple applications<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Bubbas Super Strength Commercial Enzyme Cleaner<\/h2>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/BUBBAS-Strength-Commercial-Enzyme-Cleaner\/dp\/B00J2QKGWA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><div class=\"amazon-card\"><div class=\"product-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/BUBBAS-Strength-Commercial-Enzyme-Cleaner\/dp\/B00J2QKGWA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img title='Bubbas Super Strength Commercial Enzyme Cleaner' alt='Bubbas Super Strength Commercial Enzyme Cleaner' src='https:\/\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41qH1i3YE0L.jpg' \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"product-details\"><h3 class=\"product-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/BUBBAS-Strength-Commercial-Enzyme-Cleaner\/dp\/B00J2QKGWA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">For Big Dogs With Big ...

Are these enzyme cleaners really safe?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes, they\u2019re safe. It\u2019s important to remember that the enzymes used in these cleaners are non-living organisms. They cannot reproduce or develop and grow like bacterial microorganisms. Most enzymes are non-toxic, non-gaseous, non-pathogenic and non-flammable: they simply dissolve or digest the fatty acids that bond dirt and odors together. These cleaners are safe for everyday use in the home.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It says on the label to leave the spray on my carpet or furniture for 12 to 24 hours. Is that normal?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes, it is. Once you spray an affected area, it\u2019s critical you give it about a day to dry completely. The enzymes in the cleaner are performing millions of chemical reactions to consume odor-causing agents &#8211; molecules that may have sunk deep into your carpet pad. So, soak the area and let it dry on its own. With most of the cleaners, the enzymes do all the work, so scrubbing is not required &#8211; but patience may be. However, this is not the same with dog enzyme cleaners that fight stains. Read the directions carefully, but typically stains can be wiped away within ten minutes of application.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My dog pees all over the kitchen tile. Can I use a mop and enzyme cleaner to get rid of it?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes, but here\u2019s an important tip. When mopping a large area with an enzyme cleaner, try to add the cleaner as directly to the stain as possible. If you add the cleaner to a bucket of water and then use a mop, the enzymes will start cleaning the mop, diluting the effectiveness of the cleaner. Remember, these enzymes start eating the first thing they come in contact with, which is why most dog enzyme cleaners come with instructions to spray the affected area directly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rocco &amp; Roxie Stain and Odor Eliminator Rocco &amp; Roxie Stain &amp; Odor Eliminator has it all: powerful enzymes to eliminate all organic-based odors, stain fighters that are free of harmful chemicals, and a propellant with no hazardous ingredients that still gets deep into carpets and other surfaces.
