CleanPaws Pro Enzyme Cleaner Review: Does It Actually Eliminate Pet Odors?

Let's be honest: if you're reading this, you've probably got a smell problem. Maybe your senior dog had an accident on the carpet. Maybe your new puppy thinks the living room is a bathroom. Either way, you've tried the regular stuff and it didn't work.

I've been there. Three dogs, two cats, 15 years of pet parenthood. I've tried everything from baking soda hacks to "professional-grade" cleaners that cost more than my grocery bill.

So when I tested CleanPaws Pro Enzyme Stain & Odor Remover, I wasn't hoping for miracles. I just wanted something that actually worked.

Spoiler: this one does. Here's my honest review after 6 weeks of real-world testing.

What Is CleanPaws Pro Enzyme Cleaner?

CleanPaws Pro is a professional-strength enzyme cleaner designed specifically for pet stains. Unlike regular cleaners that mask odors with fragrance, enzyme cleaners use living bacteria to break down the organic compounds causing the smell.

Here's what's in the bottle:

• Bio-enzymatic formula with live bacteria cultures
• No harsh chemicals, dyes, or artificial fragrances
• Safe for carpets, hardwood, tile, upholstery, and fabric
• Works on urine, feces, vomit, and other organic stains

How Enzyme Cleaners Actually Work

Here's the science in plain English: regular cleaners are like putting a Band-Aid on a wound without cleaning it first. They might make things look better temporarily, but the problem is still there.

Enzyme cleaners are different. The bacteria in the formula "eat" the organic matter—the uric acid crystals, the proteins, all the stuff causing the smell. They literally digest it and convert it to water and carbon dioxide.

This is why enzyme cleaners take longer to work than regular cleaners. The bacteria need time to do their job. But when they're done, the odor source is gone—not masked.
