Quick answer
Spray the odour eliminator directly onto the affected area, let it sit for a few minutes, then blot or vacuum. Repeat weekly or after accidents to keep your home fresh.
Why a dedicated deodoriser works better than home remedies
Unlike vinegar or baking soda, a pet-specific odour eliminator uses enzymes to trap and digest odour molecules rather than just masking them. This makes it more effective on set-in smells from urine, dander, or wet fur—especially on porous surfaces like carpet and upholstery.
Step-by-step: Using pet deodoriser for a fresh home
- Identify the source: Locate the area that smells—common spots are pet beds, carpet near doors, and favourite couch cushions. If the smell is from a fresh accident, blot up as much moisture as possible first with a paper towel. Treating the exact source prevents spreading the odour to other areas.
- Shake and spray evenly: Shake the bottle well. Hold it 6–8 inches from the surface and spray until the area is lightly damp but not soaked. For larger areas like a carpet, work in sections. Over-saturating can leave a sticky residue or slow drying.
- Let it work: Leave the spray on the fabric for 3–5 minutes so the enzymes can digest the odour molecules. For strong or old stains, let it sit for up to 10 minutes. Don't rush this step—skipping the dwell time reduces effectiveness.
- Blot or vacuum dry: Use a clean cloth to blot away any excess moisture, or let it air dry completely. Once dry, vacuum the area to remove any leftover particles and restore the fabric texture. Vacuuming after drying lifts trapped debris and refreshes the surface.
- Repeat as needed: For persistent odours, apply the deodoriser once a week until the smell is gone. Use it as a preventive spray on pet beds and couches every two weeks to maintain a fresh home. Regular use is more effective than waiting for odours to return.

Odour Eliminator & Pet Deodoriser: This odour eliminator is designed for use on pets' surroundings such as couches, carpet, beds and car seats. It traps and digests dog odours and masks pheromones, which aids with toilet training puppies. You can use it on multiple fabric surfaces without worrying about stains, and the pheromone-masking feature helps discourage repeat marking in the same spot.
