Pet odour in soft furnishings and bedding is persistent because the organic compounds responsible bind to fabric fibres. This spray attacks those compounds with acetic acid from the Cleaning Vinegar, while Tea Tree and Lemon provide antimicrobial action against the bacteria producing them. An important note: both Tea Tree and Lemon Essential Oils are toxic to cats — this spray must never be used in any area a cat can access.
HERO INGREDIENT — Cleaning Vinegar Acetic acid in Cleaning Vinegar breaks down the organic compounds in pet odour at a molecular level — it doesn't mask the smell, it neutralises the compounds producing it. On fabric, it penetrates fibres and reacts with the odour-causing molecules rather than sitting on the surface. The vinegar smell dissipates as it dries, leaving behind the Essential Oil scent and, more importantly, neutralised fabric.
