Two-thirds of U.S. households share their couches, beds, and backyards with at least one pet—and that number keeps growing. So does what we spend on them: in 2022 alone, Americans reached a national record of $137 billion on pet-related expenses.
While we’re investing in their comfort, it’s easy to forget our own. And between dander, drool, and Milk-Bone crumbs, it’s also easy for things to feel a little less than fresh.
That’s why we’ve put so much energy into creating more natural pet odor eliminators that are as gentle as they are effective. Our plant-powered formulas work continuously to neutralize smells from ammonia, bacteria, and more at the source.
When paired with a few simple habits, Azuna makes sure the only thing traveling room to room is that well-loved lambchop plush.
Azuna uses pure, 100% natural Australian tea tree oil. Here’s why, when used as directed, it’s still pet-friendly.
Traditional air fresheners and diffusers often mask odors with chemicals and heavy, synthetic fragrances.
Azuna works differently. Our products use organic Australian tea tree oil in a low, carefully balanced concentration to actually eliminate those smells.
While undiluted tea tree oil can be harmful in higher doses, every Azuna product stays well below recommended levels. In fact, our Azuna Pet line is endorsed by the American Kennel Club and respected feline veterinarian Dr. Matt McGlasson.
And Azuna Pet goes a step further than our core formulas by adding two powerhouse ingredients: pure, nontoxic Texas cedarwood oil and our proprietary bioactive odor-absorbing molecule, both known to eliminate airborne odors from bacteria and ammonia safely and effectively.
Pro tip: Only a small amount of tea tree oil is needed to maintain freshness, which is why we also love using our cleaning and freshening sprays to eliminate air and surface odors; just allow treated areas to fully dry before letting your pets return. Like people, pets have varying sensitivities, so if you have any concerns we always recommend consulting with your veterinarian.
Start with a natural surface cleaner to control odors.
Before tackling what’s in your air, you need to start with your surfaces. And we mean every surface.
Move aside clutter—coffee table books, candles, junk mail—before wiping everything down with a nontoxic solution and a microfiber cloth (we’ve been loving our reusable glass bottle and one-shot cleaning concentrates). A quick clean will handle most of the dust, dirt, and dander responsible for allergies and respiratory irritation.
For tougher problem areas, like missed accidents or old stains, reach for an enzymatic cleaner. These naturally-derived formulas break down the actual causes of odors (like ammonia and bacteria) using a biodegradable, pet-safe formula.
Pro tip: Using an enzymatic cleaner on problem areas can actually discourage pets from returning to mark the same spots.
Eliminate airborne odors from bacteria, ammonia, and more.
Pet owners spend just about 10% of each year cleaning their homes. That’s why we recommend a multi-step approach: the more you prevent pet odors, the less time you spend getting rid of them.
-
Use Azuna Pet odor eliminators: Our long-lasting gels use added Texas cedarwood oil and our proprietary bioactive odor-absorbing molecule (proven to neutralize up to 90% of airborne smells from bacteria and ammonia). They work with your home’s natural airflow for up to 90 days a time.
-
Add air-purifying plants: Try spider plants, which absorb carbon monoxide; Boston ferns, which filter indoor pollutants; or bamboo palms, which eliminate the benzene rings found in plastics, paints, and glues. Always confirm that your choices are pet-safe before purchasing—we consult this list from Chewy before checkout.
-
Refresh with cedarwood blocks: Place these natural odor eliminators near problem areas, and lightly sand when needed to renew their benefits.
Pro tip: For stubborn odors, you can briefly uncap your Azuna pod before placing. More airflow across your gel means faster, stronger odor control. Just ensure exposed gel stays out of reach of curious paws.
Manage dust, dirt, and dander to control odor buildup.
Sometimes the simplest solutions are the most effective. Focus on:
-
Vacuuming high-traffic areas every other day
-
Dusting and wiping down hard surfaces weekly
-
Deep-cleaning less-used areas (like closets and bookshelves) monthly
Short on time? An automated vacuum, like these recommendations from Popular Mechanics, can be pre-scheduled and controlled via app—perfect for catching all that fur before it settles.
Place long-lasting odor control solutions near hotspots (think litter boxes, pet beds, and entryways).
Azuna Pet gels work up to 90 days with no maintenance: just fill, place, and enjoy. For extra freshness, pair with an air purifier to trap any lingering dirt or dander; Buyer’s Report has a curated list of the year’s best for every home. For a low-tech boost, add a simple dish of baking soda nearby.
You don’t have to be part of the 60% of couples who argue about home odors.
With Azuna’s pet-friendly, natural odor elimination solutions, fresh air is easy. No masking scents. No toxic chemicals. Just pure, plant-powered freshness for multi-pet households.
