Getting Rid of Animal Odors: What It Really Takes

Pet boarding facilities, pet owners, veterinary offices, kennels all run into the same issue at some point from having animals on the premises on a regular basis: excessive animal odor. Getting rid of or effectively controlling those odors, however, can be a difficult issue, especially if the animals are constantly there releasing them. In short, animal odor comes from three main areas: oils in the skin or glands, waste material (urine and fecal), and hair & dander that either become airborne themselves, or the VOC vapors from those elements, or both. To get rid of the odor requires regular cleaning of surfaces, as well as the air, with the proper cleaners and air filtration devices that are sufficient to remove the pollutants.

 

A proper pet smell air purifier, for example, will have not only a HEPA filter to remove airborne odor-causing particles and hair, but also a substantial carbon filter PLUS other media that is effective for removing ammonia odors–a chief component of animal urine odor that even the best activated carbon doesn’t remove very well. That other media is usually zeolite, a clay substance that is often included in cat litter for the same reasons. Unfortunately, there are not that many air cleaner companies that offer such a filter, one being Austin Air that offers all of the filters above and works well as a result. Another important point is that for multiple pets or animals in one space, you’ll almost always need more than one pet air cleaner since the amount of pollutants being released has been increased.

 

So other than regular vacuuming and cleaning, your best bet for keeping animal odors under control is buying one of more quality pet air filters and making sure to properly size the unit or number of units to the room and take into account the number of pets where purification is needed.
