beat the Summer Heat: How Diatomaceous Earth + Attapulgite Clay Keep Dog Mess Odour-Free During Australia’s Hot Months

Eco Pawz CleanUp® mineral-based adsorbent powder made from diatomaceous earth and attapulgite clay, neutralising dog urine odours, reducing bacteria, and providing fast, eco-friendly indoor and outdoor pet mess clean-up, even in Australia’s hot summer weather

Australia’s hot summer temperatures, often exceeding 30°C, make pet mess odours a bigger problem than ever. Warm weather accelerates urine ammonia release, bacterial growth, and odour formation, turning even small accidents into persistent smells indoors and outdoors. Mineral-based adsorbent powders — especially blends of diatomaceous earth (DE) and attapulgite clay — provide a scientifically superior, eco-friendly solution to neutralise odours and manage pet mess during Australia’s harsh summer heat.

Big Summer Announcement: Eco Pawz CleanUp® 7 L Bags Now at IGA

Just in time for the hot summer months, 7 L Eco Pawz CleanUp® bags are now available at IGA local stores nationwide. High temperatures make odour control essential, and Eco Pawz CleanUp® ensures you can stop the stink before it starts, keeping homes, yards, and kennels hygienic.

The best way to grab them is to ask your local store manager — every dog and dog carer deserves easy hygiene, especially during Australia’s intense summer heat.

Our 500 mL pouches are perfect for small spots, while 10 L tubs provide bulk coverage for outdoor areas and kennels.

Why DE + Attapulgite Clay Works in Hot Australian Summers

  • Adsorbs liquids and odours at the molecular level — prevents heat-accelerated odour formation
  • Reduces bacterial growth — controlling moisture slows bacterial activity, which escalates in high temperatures
  • Eco-friendly, non-toxic, and safe — protects pets, children, and lawns, even during hot summer days
  • Versatile indoor/outdoor use — works on carpets, hard floors, synthetic turf, real lawns, kennels, patios, and high-traffic areas

Sprays and plant-based absorbent powders often struggle in extreme heat: sprays evaporate quickly, masking odours temporarily, while absorbent powders may fail to neutralise odours fully, leaving ammonia smells lingering.
