Pet crates, carriers, and transport vans play a critical role in animal care, from veterinary visits and grooming appointments to boarding, rescue transport, and daily operations at kennels and pet resorts. Unfortunately, these enclosed spaces are also prime environments for odors and stains caused by urine, feces, vomit, drool, body oils, and stress-related accidents. Without proper cleaning, odors linger, bacteria build up, and surfaces degrade over time.
At Alpha Tech Pet, we understand the demands placed on animal care facilities and professional transport services. That’s why we developed OdorPet® Concentrate and OdorPet® RTU Stain and Pet Odor Remover,professional-strength solutions designed to eliminate pet odors and stains at the source, not just cover them up.
Why Proper Cleaning Matters
Pet odors aren’t just unpleasant, they’re often a sign of organic debris trapped deep within surfaces. Traditional cleaners may mask smells temporarily, but they don’t break down the proteins and waste materials that cause recurring odors. In crates, carriers, and transport vans, lingering smells can stress animals, create an unsanitary environment, and damage your professional reputation.
Effective cleaning requires a bio-active solution that penetrates porous and non-porous surfaces and permanently removes odor-causing residues.
Step-by-Step: Cleaning Pet Crates and Carriers
- Remove Debris: Begin by removing bedding, toys, and loose debris. Shake out or vacuum hair and dirt before applying any cleaner.
- Pre-Rinse Surfaces: Rinse crates and carriers with water to loosen dried urine, feces, or body fluids.
- Apply OdorPet®: For heavy buildup or commercial use, use OdorPet® Concentrate, diluted for spray bottles, mopping buckets, or carpet cleaning machines. For quick cleanups or spot treatments, OdorPet® RTU (Ready-to-Use) provides powerful odor elimination with no mixing required.
- Allow Enzymes to Work: OdorPet’s bio-enzymatic formula breaks down odor-causing debris into harmless CO2 and water. Allow sufficient dwell time so the enzymes can fully digest proteins and waste.
- Wipe or Rinse: Wipe clean or rinse thoroughly. For stubborn odors, repeat the application as needed.
OdorPet® is veterinarian approved, kennel tested, and safe for frequent use thanks to its near-neutral pH and biodegradable formula.
Deodorizing Transport Vans and Fleet Vehicles
Transport vans face even tougher challenges due to high animal volume, confined air space, and porous surfaces like flooring and upholstery.
Best practices for vans include:
- Using OdorPet® Concentrate in mopping buckets for hard floors such as linoleum or sealed concrete
- Applying through professional carpet cleaning machines for mats, rugs, and upholstery
- Treating drains, trash receptacles, and high-contact areas where accidents are common
