Quick Answer
Use EcoStrong Kennel Cleaner and Odor Eliminator PRO as a concentrated, non-toxic spray or soak to break down urine and waste odors at the source, not just mask them.
Why Standard Cleaners Fall Short in Kennels
Kennel floors and walls are often porous concrete or sealed wood. Regular household cleaners only sanitize the surface, leaving trapped urine and bacteria deep in the material. Over time, those trapped compounds create a persistent ammonia smell that returns after every rinse.
An enzyme-based kennel cleaner like the EcoStrong PRO formula works differently. It uses concentrated, eco-friendly ingredients to penetrate porous surfaces and digest the organic matter causing the odor. That means you remove the source rather than covering it up with fragrance.
When to Use a Soak vs. a Quick Spray
For daily spot cleaning or between deep washes, a quick spray-and-wipe is enough to keep odors under control. But for kennels that have not been deep-cleaned in weeks, or for stubborn urine stains on concrete, a 10- to 15-minute soak lets the concentrated formula work deeper into the material.
The EcoStrong product is non-toxic, so it is safe to leave on surfaces longer without worrying about harmful fumes or residue that could irritate your dog's paws.
Step-by-Step Kennel Cleaning Process
- Remove All Bedding and Debris: Take out bowls, bedding, toys, and any loose waste. Sweep or vacuum the kennel floor and walls to remove hair and dirt so the cleaner can reach the porous surface directly. Skipping this step means the cleaner gets absorbed by debris instead of the kennel surface.
- Dilute the Concentrated Cleaner: Mix EcoStrong Kennel Cleaner and Odor Eliminator PRO according to the label directions. For heavy odors, use the higher concentration ratio. Pour the solution into a spray bottle or a bucket for larger areas. Using too little concentrate reduces the enzyme activity; using too much wastes product without extra benefit.
- Apply and Let It Soak: Spray or mop the solution onto all kennel surfaces, including corners and seams where urine pools. Let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes so the enzymes have time to break down the organic matter. Rinsing too early stops the chemical reaction and leaves odor-causing compounds behind.
- Scrub Stubborn Areas: Use a stiff-bristled brush or deck scrubber on concrete floors and grout lines. Focus on spots that still look or smell soiled after the soak. The scrubbing action helps lift the digested material. A soft sponge will not dislodge trapped waste from rough surfaces.
- Rinse Thoroughly and Dry: Rinse all surfaces with clean water until no suds remain. Use a squeegee or towel to remove excess moisture, then let the kennel air-dry completely before returning bedding or your dog. A damp kennel encourages bacterial regrowth and can cause skin irritation for your dog.
