Dirty drains can cause strong odors in animal facilities. What is Growing in Your Drain?

Accumulated waste, hair, and organic matter in drains create an environment for bacteria, mold, and fungi to thrive, leading to foul smells. Decomposing urine and feces can also release ammonia and sulfur-based compounds, worsening air quality. Clogged or slow draining systems contribute to stagnant water, increasing microbial growth and intensifying odors. Regular cleaning, enzymatic drain treatments, and proper waste disposal help prevent buildup and control smells. Maintaining a well-ventilated space and ensuring proper drainage design can further minimize odor issues, promoting a healthier environment for animals and staff. How Enzymes Work Enzymes destroy bacteria, mold, and fungi in animal care facilities by breaking down the organic materials that these harmful microbes need to survive and grow. Common waste in these environments— like urine, feces, food spills, and dander—creates ideal conditions for microbial growth. Enzymes such as proteases (which break down proteins), lipases (which break down fats), and amylases (which break down starches) target and digest these organic substances at the molecular level. By removing the food sources and sometimes disrupting the outer structure of microbes, enzymes make it difficult for bacteria, mold, and fungi to thrive. Unlike chemical disinfectants that may leave harmful residues, enzyme-based cleaners are biodegradable, non-toxic, and safe for animals and staff. They can also reach into tiny cracks, porous surfaces, and biofilms where microbes hide, providing a deeper and longer-lasting clean. This makes enzyme cleaners a smart, eco-friendly solution for maintaining hygiene in animal care facilities.
