Every cat owner fights the constant battle against odor. I have tried everything on the market to eliminate odors from carpets, furniture, fabrics, litter boxes, etc. and finally I found Odorzout. This is a product that I am totally addicted to, which is why I was so excited when I met Dr. Stink himself at a recent Pet Expo. I was even more excited when I found out that Odorzout is based right here in Phoenix, so I made an appointment to head over there and talk to Dr. Stink about just why Odorzout is so great.
I arrived at the Odorzout headquarters to find an impeccable facility. This photo is of the assembly line where the products are packaged and prepared for sale. Odorzout is made from a special blend of Zeolites, which are all-natural, non-toxic minerals that absorb and eliminate unpleasant odors. Dr. Stink explained that each of the products in the Odorzout line uses a special combination of Zeolites that are optimized for a specific use. The products include:
- All Surface Granules – Great for use on carpets, furniture, bedding, carriers, etc.
- Cat Litter Additive – For use in the litter box and can also be used directly on a pet
- Laundry Additive Powder - Toss some in with your laundry to remove odors while washing
- Pet Pouches – A convenient way to keep an area or even a gym bag fresh between application of the other products
During my visit, I told Dr. Stink about a recent experience I had with the Odorzout products. I’ve been having a little problem with my senior kitty urinating on the carpet. I Spot Bot almost daily and every so often I pull out the deep cleaning machine. After a deep clean, the odor is particularly strong, because deposits in the carpet are stirred-up and now the entire carpet is damp. This time, even after the carpet dried fully, the odor was especially bad. I sprinkled the Cat All Surface Granules on the area and literally, within minutes, the odor was gone. Not masked by flowers or other fragrance, truly gone. Dr. Stink explained that Zeolites don’t mask odors like most other products, they actually absorb and eliminate the stink. That is why the products are packaged as powders or granules — the more surface area exposed to the odor, the faster it will be absorbed.
My big question about the products was “are they safe?” I was very pleased to find out that Zeolite minerals are 100% safe for pets and people, too. If your cat licks the mineral off their fur it is completely safe. Not only are Odorzout products safe, but they also received the US Environmental Protection Agency’s Design for the Environment Seal of Approval and they are the ONLY “All Natural Mineral” Odor Eliminating products approved to carry this seal. The seal officially acknowledges that Odorzout products are environmentally safe and that they adhere to strict partner guidelines that encourage the formulation of products with environmentally preferred chemistry. Odorzout was selected to receive the seal because the products’ blend of natural Zeolite minerals exhibits a more positive effect on the environment than conventional odor removers.
Odorzout products come in 30 oz bottles, as well as 1-gallon, 2-gallon, and 5-gallon buckets. One bottle will last you a very long time. Just a sprinkle in the litter box or a teaspoon in the laundry will do the trick. Check the Odorzout website to find a retailer near you or order online.

I have 3 permanent and 1 foster cat. While we try to keep everything fresh and clean I feel like I’m losing the battle most times. This would be interesting to try to see if it works with my gang.

I NEED THIS SOOOOOO BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I absolutely cannot tolerate bad smells, and I adore my cat and dogs…..such a paradox! I’m constantly trying to make it smell good in here, and losing the fight!

My kitty restroom (kitty litter area next to laundry room) could really use Odorzout. While my two cats are good about using the litter boxes, my one cat’s no.2 (to put it delicately) smells like the sewer is backing up. The smell travels right up the basement stairs so that whoever enters the back door gets it right in the face even though I’m a 2x a day litter scooper.

The den needs it because it’s the most-trafficked room in the house!
November 14th, 2008 at 10:44 am
The bathroom which is also the kitty box room.

With three cats and four dogs, Odorzout would be an answer to a prayer. I think that I would use it the most in the cat room as I have 3 litter boxes in there..

This is awesome! I’ve used baking soda hoping it’d be safe, but this would definitely be a huge improvement. Excellent research on your part yet again!

The litter box is in a bathroom and Odorzout sounds like a great product no matter where a litter box is located. Thank you for the info.
November 14th, 2008 at 6:17 pm
The bathroom where the litter is kept. With 4 cats and the area so small you can imagine. I’d love to see if it works.

I’m a geology student, and have come across many research on zeolites being used for environmental cleanup.
My apartment isn’t stinky yet, but my parents are currently dog-sitting two small dogs that poo and pee all over their house. Odourzout would be terrific for them right now.

I have had a kittie with arthritis that did not like eventually to climb into the litter box so I put piddle pads in front of it. That did the trick but while I was in the hospital w/ openheart surgerry for 2 months the caretaker did a horrible job and my carpet has pet spots all over it. I have 2 problem areas: one by the front door and the other in by the litter boxes. I keep them covered by throw rugs but there are days I know they are there. That kitty passed away but didn’t take her spots with her! HELP!

Having fostered dozens of cats over the years, our whole house smells like a big litterbox no matter what I do–even though we are “down” to 19 cats now. The room that needs help the most is the living room by the front door, where various cats have left their mark on the hardwood floors. Please help!
October 11th, 2009 at 8:08 pm
Our basement! We have 4 cats and we can’t seem to keep the stink out! Need help!
November 12th, 2009 at 12:19 pm
