Why is it important to remove dog urine properly?

It's important that you clean up dog urine properly to eliminate unpleasant odors and avoid stains. Urine deposits can form after a minor accident.

Since these deposits build up under floor tiles and behind walls, superficial cleaning isn't enough. To permanently remove the urine deposits, the dog urine must be removed deep down. Otherwise, the unpleasant odor will continue to reappear.

If dog urine isn't properly removed, the ammonia contained in the urine can be smelled not only by humans, but especially by our four-legged friends. This can encourage your dog or other animals in the household to repeatedly pee in the same spot and mark it.

How do I get rid of the urine smell?

The microbiological Bactador Odor and Stain Remover removes dog urine deep into the pores and permanently neutralizes the odor. This prevents unpleasant odors in the long term.
