Some pet odors are more than unpleasant — they are chemically stubborn. Skunk spray, feces, and decomposing organic matter contain compounds that bind tightly to fur and skin, often surviving multiple baths.
Why regular washing isn’t always enough
- Most shampoos:
- Mask odor with fragrance
- Temporarily reduce smell
- Leave residue behind
How ozonated water works differently
Ozonated water reacts with odor-causing compounds directly. Instead of covering smells, it helps break them down, allowing them to release from fur, fabrics, and surfaces.
How to use it safely
- Use freshly ozonated water
- Rinse or wipe affected fur (avoid eyes and nose)
- Wash collars, leashes, bedding, and crate mats at the same time
Ventilate the space well
