If you live with pets, you probably know this moment all too well.
You walk into a room and smell it. You clean it. A few days later… it’s back.
Dogs marking corners, couches, or door frames. Cats spraying the same spots again and again. And no matter how often you clean, the smell just won’t leave.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone — and it’s not because you’re doing something wrong.
The Real Reason Pet Messes Keep Coming Back
Most pet owners assume the issue is training or behaviour.
But in many homes, the real problem is the cleaning products being used.
A lot of common household cleaners contain ammonia. To us, it smells completely “clean”, but to pets, it smells very similar to urine.
So, when you clean pet messes with ammonia-based products, your pets think:
“Another animal marked here.”
And their instinct is simple: 👉 Mark the spot again.

Why This Becomes So Frustrating
On the surface, you’re dealing with:
Strong urine smells
Pets returning to the same areas
Floors, carpets, tiles, and furniture taking damage
Emotionally, it feels:
Embarrassing when guests visit
Exhausting to keep cleaning the same spots
Like your home never really feels fresh
And honestly — it shouldn’t be this hard to keep a clean, pet-friendly home.

Frequently Asked Questions for Pet Owners
Is ammonia safe to use in homes with pets?
No. Ammonia smells similar to urine to dogs and cats. Using ammonia-based cleaners can encourage pets to mark the same area again.
What is the best cleaner for pet urine smells?
An ammonia-free, pet-safe cleaner works best. It removes odours without leaving smells that trigger repeat marking.
Can cleaning products cause pets to mark territory again?

Yes. Kwiksolve is pet-friendly, family-friendly, ammonia-free, and SABS tested and approved for food surfaces and industrial use.
Does Kwiksolve remove urine smells or just mask them?
