When to Use High Power WS Enzyme, High Power Urine Neutraliser, and Hybrid Enzyme & Solvent Pre-Sprays

High Power WS Enzyme Pre-Spray
(WoolSafe & CleanSeal Approved)
Formulated with live enzymes that digest organic matter such as proteins, starches, and fats.
Best for:

Fresh urine, faeces, vomit

Food and drink spills (milk, gravy, wine, coffee, etc.)

General pet odours

Protein-based stains (blood, egg, sweat)

Pros:

Continues working as long as moisture remains

Removes odours at the source rather than masking them

Gentle on fibres

Eco-friendly and biodegradable

Limitations:

Requires dwell time to achieve best results

Less effective on old or set-in stains

Limited sanitising effect

High Power Urine Neutraliser – Oxidising Pre-Spray
Uses oxidising agents (such as hydrogen peroxide) to break down odour molecules, stains, and colour-causing compounds.

Best for:

Old or severe urine contamination (especially cat urine)

Heavy odour situations

Stains that enzymes alone do not remove

Situations requiring quick results

Pros:

Fast acting, minimal dwell time needed

Excellent for set-in urine odours and stains

Effective on red wine, coffee, tea, and even rust

Provides a sanitising effect

Limitations:

Can be harsher on fibres if overused

Hybrid Enzyme & Solvent Pre-Spray

(WoolSafe & CleanSeal Approved)

Combines enzyme technology with solvent cleaning power. Enzymes break down organic soils (urine, faeces, vomit, food), while solvents dissolve oily, greasy, or synthetic residues (tar, oil, ink, adhesives).

Best for:

Mixed soiling (organic and oily/greasy)

Food spills that contain both fats/oils and proteins

Oil, grease, gum, tar, cosmetics, ink, or paint

Commercial or domestic carpets with varied contamination

Pros:

Tackles the widest range of soils in one product

Fast-acting, effective for both organic and oily stains

Reduces the need for multiple products

Limitations:

May be unnecessary for simple, single-source stains

As with any solvent-based cleaner, fibre testing and good ventilation are advised

Summary:

High Power WS Enzyme Pre-Spray – Best for fresh organic stains and odours, especially food, pet accidents, and protein-based spills. Works deeply but requires dwell time.

High Power Urine Neutraliser Pre-Spray – Best for old, severe, or odorous urine problems, or when fast results are needed. Also excellent on red wine, tea, and coffee.

Hybrid Enzyme & Solvent Pre-Spray – Best for mixed contamination (organic + oily/greasy). A strong all-rounder for commercial carpets, kitchens, and households with pets.
