How to choose (and common mistakes)

When choosing an odor removal method, consider the source of the smell. For urine, enzyme cleaners are often the most effective. Avoid using ammonia-based products, as they can actually make odors worse by mimicking the smell of urine to pets. Another common mistake is not testing products on a small area first, which can prevent damage to your surfaces. Regular cleaning and airing out your home can also help reduce odors. Remember to keep an eye on your pet’s habits and health, as changes can signal underlying issues.
