Ever notice that “wet dog” or musty smell that lingers after mopping or carpet cleaning? It’s not your imagination. Traditional cleaners often push odor molecules around rather than neutralizing them — leaving floors clean but air that still smells stale.
That’s where OdorCare Concentrate comes in. By adding just one cup to your mop bucket or carpet cleaner, you can tackle both visible dirt and invisible odors in one step.
How It Works
OdorCare Concentrate combines surfactants (which lift and remove dirt) with advanced odor-binding agents that neutralize odor molecules on contact. Instead of covering up smells with synthetic fragrance, OdorCare eliminates them at the molecular level.
When used in mop water, the solution breaks down organic residues — the root cause of most lingering floor odors — while leaving behind a light, clean scent like Clean & Fresh or Eucalyptus-Lavender.
For Hard Floors
Mix 1 cup of OdorCare Concentrate per gallon of warm water in your mop bucket. Use it on tile, laminate, vinyl, or sealed hardwood floors. The formula cleans, deodorizes, and leaves your floors feeling residue-free — without the sticky film some cleaners leave behind.
Pro tip: after mopping, pour your used OdorCare mop water down a sink or drain. It will freshen pipes and prevent mildew and biofilm odors in the process.
For Carpets and Upholstery
When running a carpet cleaner or extractor, add 1 cup of OdorCare Concentrate to the machine’s clean water tank. It will penetrate deep into carpet fibers to neutralize odors from spills, pets, and foot traffic.
For especially tough areas — like pet stains or high-traffic hallways — pre-treat with a diluted OdorCare spray before cleaning. You’ll notice a fresher, cleaner scent that lasts.
Bonus: Freshen Drains, Disposals, and Sinks
Don’t toss that leftover mop water just yet! OdorCare’s biodegradable formula makes it safe for drains and septic systems. Pour it into:
- Kitchen sinks and garbage disposals to remove grease and food odors
- Bathroom drains to prevent mildew and musty smells
- Utility sinks and laundry tubs to freshen standing water areas
This small step helps keep your home’s plumbing system odor-free.
Why It’s Better
- Neutralizes odors instead of masking them
- Works across multiple surfaces and appliances
- Safe for plumbing, septic systems, pets, and kids
- Leaves behind natural, light fragrance (or none at all with unscented formulas)
