Enzyme-based cleaners work by using enzymes, which are specialized proteins that help speed up chemical reactions. In cleaning, enzymes target organic residue from messes like pet urine, feces, vomit, saliva, food spills, and odors. They help break larger compounds, including proteins, fats, and starches, into smaller pieces that are easier to lift, wipe, or rinse away. This makes enzyme-based cleaners especially useful for pet messes because they work on the source of the stain and odor instead of simply covering it with fragrance.

For pet stains and household odors, apply an enzyme-based cleaner according to the product directions and allow it enough time to work on the affected area. RUFF STUFF Bio-Enzyme Stain & Odor Eliminator by Lillian Ruff is designed to target organic, protein-based, and fat-based messes, including urine, feces, vomit, saliva, food spills, and odors. Since surfaces and fabrics can vary, always test on a hidden area first, avoid oversaturating, and blot or wipe away excess product as directed.
