Probiotic Pet Deodorizing Spray 150 ml with Optional Atomizer Gun

The litter corner is the first thing a visitor notices and the last thing you do.

You know the spot. Behind the tray, along the skirting board, the patch of rug where he sleeps with his chin on his paws. Nothing looks dirty. The room simply smells like a room with a cat in it, and opening a window for ten minutes only moves the problem around.

This is an amber liquid in a 150 ml bottle that screws onto the underside of a white atomizer gun. Pull the trigger and it comes out as a fine mist rather than a jet, which is what a fabric bed or a rug needs, and two intensity levels sit on the body of the gun. There is a cat formula and a dog formula, sold as separate options.

Key Benefits

• Mist, not a soaking The gun atomizes the liquid so it lands evenly on bedding, a rug or a plastic tray instead of pooling in one corner of the fabric.
• Named contents The maker lists what is in the bottle rather than hiding it behind a formula code, which is unusual at this price and worth reading before you spray anything near a pet.
• Unscented per the maker This is not a perfume that sits on top of a smell. The maker describes the liquid as unscented and explains that live cultures carry a faintly sour note of their own.
• Two species formulas A cat version and a dog version, chosen at the option rather than a single bottle for both.
• Refill without the hardware Once you own the gun, the six bottle option is 900 ml of liquid on its own.

Best for: Flats and rooms where the litter tray, the pet bed or a favourite rug holds a smell, and owners who would rather mist a surface than shampoo it every fortnight.

Why It Works

A probiotic deodorizer works differently from an air freshener. Instead of laying a scent over the smell, the maker builds the liquid around live cultures, naming bacillus subtilis, lactobacillus plantarum, actinomycetes, a biological enzyme, prebiotics and a second generation probiotic in pure water. Those cultures and the enzyme go to work on the organic residue that makes a litter corner or a pet bed smell in the first place, which is why the liquid is unscented: it is built to take the odour down at the source rather than cover it, on bedding, rugs, floors and litter areas.

How It Fits Your Routine

Tray day. You empty it, wipe it out, then mist the floor around it and the skirting behind it while it dries, before the fresh litter goes back in.

Bed day. A pass over the cushion after you have brushed the loose fur off, low setting, from far enough back that the fabric goes damp rather than wet, then leave it to dry before he settles on it again.

Store the bottles upright and out of the sun, and screw the gun off between uses so the liquid does not sit in the nozzle. Test any fabric on a hidden patch first, the way you would with anything you spray on furniture.

FAQ

What does it do to the smell? It is a probiotic deodorizer, so the live cultures and the enzyme work on the organic residue behind a pet smell rather than masking it with perfume. Mist it on the litter corner, the bedding or a rug, let it dry, and it takes the odour down at the source.

Does the atomizer gun come with every option? No. The two three bottle options ship with the gun. The two six bottle options are refills of 900 ml with no gun in the parcel, so read the option name before you order.

Why does it smell slightly sour? The maker says so itself on one of its panels: live cultures need an acidic environment, so the liquid carries a faint fermentation note. That is the maker's own explanation and we would rather you read it here than be surprised at the door.

Can I spray it directly on my cat or dog? It is made for surfaces, the bedding, furniture, floors and litter areas the maker lists, rather than for the coat. Spray those and let them dry. Ask your vet before putting any product on an animal's coat.
