What is an Enzyme Cleaner in NZ?

Enzyme cleaners excel at eliminating unpleasant odours by targeting the organic compounds that cause them. Unlike air fresheners that merely mask odours, enzymes break down the odour-causing molecules, neutralising them at their source and leaving behind a fresh and clean scent.

Why Choose Enzyme Cleaners?

At The Cleaning Enzymes, we believe cleaning should be safe, effective, and eco-friendly. That’s why our enzyme-powered cleaners are designed to break down the toughest stains and odours without relying on harsh chemicals.

How Do Enzyme Cleaners Work?

Enzyme cleaners contain naturally occurring proteins that act as catalysts, speeding up chemical reactions. They target and break down organic matter — like grease, food stains, pet urine, and odour-causing bacteria — transforming them into harmless, natural byproducts.

Why Are Enzyme Cleaners Better?

• Target Odours at the Source: Instead of masking smells, enzymes break down the molecules that cause them.

• Safe and Non-Toxic: Perfect for homes with kids, pets, and people with sensitivities.

• Eco-Friendly: Our enzyme-based cleaners are biodegradable and free from harsh chemicals.

• Versatile and Effective: Use them in kitchens, bathrooms, pet areas, and even outdoor spaces.

How to Use The Cleaning Enzymes Effectively

1. Spot Test: Always test on a small, hidden area first.

2. Apply Generously: Spray directly onto the affected area.

3. Allow Time: Let the enzymes work for at least 5-10 minutes.

4. Wipe Clean: Use a clean cloth to remove any residue or let it air dry.

5. Repeat if Necessary: For tough stains or odours, a second application may be needed.
