ANGRY ORANGE Pet Odor Eliminator
Angry Orange is the go-to choice for pet owners who want to instantly replace foul odors with a vibrant, clean citrus scent.

It's ideal for those who prioritize a fresh-smelling home.

- Made in the USA — The product is proudly manufactured in the United States.
- Scent Can Be Overpowering — The very strong citrus smell can be too intense for people or pets with scent sensitivities.
- Not an Enzymatic Cleaner — It primarily neutralizes and masks odors rather than enzymatically breaking down the source of stains.
- Oil-Based Formula — The orange oil requires careful spot testing on fabrics to prevent potential staining or discoloration.
- Scent is Not Permanent — While effective initially, the pleasant orange scent will fade over time.
- Less Effective on Urine — May not fully eliminate the underlying uric acid crystals in deep urine stains like an enzyme cleaner can.
