The Dog Odour Problem: Why It Persists

Dog urine and everyday pet smells are more than surface issues. They penetrate:

• Artificial turf and natural lawns
• Pavers and porous concrete
• Carpet underlay
• Kennels, crates, and bedding
• Outdoor runs

Liquid-based cleaners, including enzyme sprays, often cannot reach deep-set moisture or ammonia. This is why smells frequently return, frustrating dog owners, breeders, and pet businesses alike.

Enzyme Sprays: How They Work — And Their Limitations

Enzyme sprays rely on biological reactions to break down organic matter. They target proteins, fats, and urea in urine or other pet waste. While effective in some scenarios, their limitations are significant.

Downsides of Enzyme Sprays

1. Require Specific Conditions
   Enzymes only function optimally with the correct:

• Temperature (20–40°C)
• pH
• Moisture level
• No interfering chemicals
• Adequate reaction time

2. Cannot Remove Moisture or Ammonia
   Enzyme sprays break down organics but leave behind:

• Ammonia gas
• Volatile odour compounds
• Uric acid crystals

3. Surface-Limited Action
   They cannot penetrate:

• Turf backing
• Carpet underlay
• Porous concrete or pavers

4. Dilution Can Spread the Problem
   Spraying liquid over urine can push contaminants deeper, increasing odour in some cases.
5. Often Weak or Masking Products
   Many commercial sprays contain fragrances or surfactants with minimal active enzymes.
6. Enzyme Degradation
   Improper storage or exposure to heat can render the product inactive.

When Enzyme Sprays Work

Enzyme sprays are effective for:

• Fresh, surface-level stains
• Carpets and fabrics not deeply soaked
• Bedding and soft materials
• Low-traffic areas where urine is minimal

They are least effective for:

• Turf and lawns (artificial or natural)
• Porous concrete and pavers
• Multi-dog households
• Kennels, boarding facilities, or high-traffic areas
• Old or repeatedly soiled areas

Adsorbent Powders: How They Solve the Problem

A blend of diatomaceous earth (DE) and attapulgite clay works through adsorption, a physical process that captures:

• Moisture
• Ammonia
• Odour molecules
• Residual organic compounds
• Microorganisms contributing to smell

Powders draw liquids and odours up, neutralising the source rather than just masking it.

Why Adsorbent Powders Outperform Enzyme Sprays

Feature	Enzyme Spray	Adsorbent Powder (DE + Clay)
Moisture removal	❌ Limited	✔ Physical absorption
Ammonia neutralisation	❌ Minimal	✔ Adsorbs ammonia
Deep penetration	❌ Surface only	✔ Reaches turf backing, porous surfaces, carpet underlay
Effectiveness timeframe	⏳ Requires activation	✔ Immediate action
Safety	⚠ Chemical risk depending on formula	✔ Natural, pet-safe
Multi-surface use	⚠ May stain	✔ Works on turf, concrete, pavers, carpets, bedding
Re-activation risk	❌ High if surface becomes wet	✔ Low; odour removed

Eco Pawz CleanUp™: Australia’s Natural Solution

Eco Pawz CleanUp™ combines:

• Western Australian diatomaceous earth
• Attapulgite clay
• Natural plant-based deodorising agents

Benefits

• Removes odours at the source
• Draws moisture and ammonia out of turf, concrete, carpets, and bedding
• Safe for dogs, cats, wildlife, and children
• Effective indoors and outdoors
• 100% Australian-made

How to Use

1. Sprinkle over odour-affected area
2. Leave 10–30 minutes
3. Sweep, brush, or rinse away

Practical Tips for Maximum Effectiveness

• Apply immediately after fresh accidents for best results
• Use powder regularly in high-traffic areas
• Combine with light brushing to penetrate turf infill or carpet fibers
• For deep-set odours, repeat application until smell is gone

Conclusion

Enzyme sprays have been the default solution for dog odours for years — but their limitations are clear. They often fail to remove moisture, ammonia, and deeply penetrated urine, leaving pet owners frustrated.

Adsorbent powders, such as Eco Pawz CleanUp™’s DE + attapulgite blend, offer a natural, Australian-made, and highly effective alternative, removing odours at the source and delivering immediate results across turf, concrete, pavers, carpets, and bedding.
