The power of adsorbent powders: The Natural Solution for fast acting Dog urine Odours removal

Eco Pawz CleanUp® logo on 10L tub – natural diatomaceous earth and attapulgite clay powder for dog urine odour and ammonia control and lawn fix (fake and real grass)

If you’re a dog owner, you know the struggle of keeping your home, yard, or kennel free from dog urine odours and ammonia smells. While sprays and enzyme cleaners are often used, the most effective, safe, and long-lasting solution comes from nature: adsorbent powders made from diatomaceous earth and attapulgite clay.

Understanding the Source of Dog Odour

Dog urine contains urea, which bacteria break down into ammonia. Ammonia:

  • Releases a strong, unpleasant smell
  • Can penetrate porous surfaces like carpets, soil, and bedding
  • Attracts flies and pests, and may damage turf or flooring

Controlling odours effectively requires removing ammonia and moisture, not just masking the smell with fragrance.

Why Diatomaceous Earth and Attapulgite Clay Work Best

Diatomaceous earth (DE) and attapulgite clay are natural, mineral-based powders that have been used for centuries in absorption and odour control. Their effectiveness comes from:

  • Exceptional Absorption – DE has microscopic pores, and attapulgite clay has a fibrous structure, which traps liquids and odorous molecules, including ammonia.
  • Chemical Adsorption – Clay minerals bind positively charged ammonium ions (NH₄⁺), neutralizing odours at a molecular level.
  • Moisture Control – By absorbing urine, these powders prevent bacteria from producing more ammonia.
  • Long-Lasting Effect – Odours remain trapped over time, unlike sprays that only temporarily mask smells.

These powders are versatile and can be used on lawns, kennels, carpets, bedding, and hard surfaces.

How Sprays Compare

Sprays, including enzyme or perfume-based solutions, are commonly marketed for odour control, but they have limitations:

  • Odour Masking – Many sprays rely on fragrance to hide smells temporarily.
  • Limited Penetration – Enzymes may break down some compounds but often cannot reach deep into porous surfaces.
  • Moisture Issues – Sprays may dilute urine but do not remove moisture, allowing bacteria to keep producing ammonia.
  • Short-Term Effect – Regular reapplication is needed to maintain odour control.
