The main source of “fragrance” in an apartment where there are animals is the floors.

In pursuit of an effective product designed to remove a persistent odor, many pet owners make the wrong choice.

Out of ignorance, they believe that chlorine-containing products should be used to clean up after an embarrassed pet.

These products are really good for disinfecting surfaces, which is definitely worth doing from time to time.

However, chlorine is powerless when it comes to odors – it can only mask the “aroma.”

Instead, when buying household chemicals, you should choose enzyme products.

The thing is that the odors left by pets are of organic origin, and they can only be eliminated with the help of enzymes that can break down protein compounds.

You can buy such preparations in pet stores. Add enzymes to the water intended for washing floors, and you will forget about the urgent problem.
