Why use cleaning enzymes?

To what end do enzymes serve in house cleaning?
The elimination of odors caused by organic stains is a major advantage of using enzymatic cleaners.

Most store-bought chemical cleaners don’t do a very good job of getting rid of pet odors and stains, and some even add fragrance to cover up the stench. These perfumes not only pose health risks, but they also don’t accomplish anything to get rid of pet odors or stains. It is possible for synthetic perfumes to amplify existing pet odors.

Cleansing enzymes attack the source of the odor at its molecular level. Some enzyme-based cleaners have fragrance added to them, but the enzyme is still responsible for the bulk of the neutralizing work. Once the enzyme has digested the stain, there shouldn’t be any lingering odor in the carpet, no matter how long it sits. An advantage of this is that your pets won’t be able to leave a fragrance trace on the carpet and be enticed to soil it again.

Do you know if enzymatic cleaners are risk-free?
Almost no one, ever, has been injured by using an enzymatic cleaner. The vast majority of studies have shown that enzymatic cleaners have a low potential for causing serious responses. However, it is advisable to make sure there is excellent ventilation and prevent extended exposure to skin in its concentrated form, especially if you have sensitive skin, as with any cleaning product.

Animals shouldn’t return to the area until the cleaning process is finished and the carpet has been thoroughly dried. The aerosol from the spray could enter its respiratory system if you use a spray bottle. Assuming the cleaning procedure was successful, your carpet should be completely safe for use by people, animals, and even young children.

How Should You Clean With Enzymes?
The use of enzymatic cleaners requires a systematic approach, just like any other type of cleaner.

Elimination of Solid Waste
Get rid of as much solid waste as you can. It’s important to clean the area thoroughly, getting rid of any dried food, congealed oils, or vomit. When removing particles from the carpet, use a scooping motion instead of rubbing to avoid working the stain farther into the fibers.

Using the cleaning solution
You might need to let the enzyme cleaner sit on the stain for a few minutes before removing it, although this will vary depending on the manufacturer’s instructions. Depending on the intensity of the stain, this time may need to be increased from the typical 10-15 minutes. If the cleaner has a longer time to work, it will clean better.

It is important to read the instructions on your enzymatic cleaner to determine whether or not you should let it sit on the stain until it dries.

Notes about the Final Sweep
Not every stain can be removed, and even if your cleaner wasn’t able to get rid of the stain completely, you shouldn’t throw away your carpet just yet. It may be possible to remove a dried, older stain, however, it may require more work and multiple applications of the cleaner. It could take several days, possibly even weeks, for these stains to begin to fade. To prevent a stain from becoming impossible to remove, it’s best to catch messes as soon as possible.
