Odor & Pet-Turnover Products for Turnovers

Enzyme digesters, active oxidizers, and passive odor neutralizers.

Stubborn odors—from pets, cooking spices, bacon grease, or covert indoor smoking—are the number one reason guests request refunds upon arrival. Effective turnover products eliminate the source rather than masking it with heavy perfume.

Pro Cleaner Advice

Never use heavy synthetic floral sprays to hide pet urine or smoke; the combined scent is sickening. Use enzymatic extractors for fabrics and passive carbon gels for small closed spaces.

Safety & Chemical Caveat

Keep pets and children off damp enzyme-treated carpets until completely dry to prevent skin sensitivity.

Frequently Asked Questions: Odor & Pet-Turnover Products

How do I eliminate dog smell from an STR between 11 AM and 3 PM?

Vacuum rugs twice with a HEPA vacuum, spray an enzyme/citrus neutralizer (e.g. Angry Orange or OdoBan) on upholstery, wash cushion covers if allowed, and run the HVAC fan on 'ON'.

Can ozone machines be used during routine turnovers?

Only in extreme circumstances and never when people or pets are inside. Ozone requires 2-4 hours of aeration before guests enter to avoid respiratory hazards.
