Zep Commercial 1 gal. Lemon Scented Anti-Bacterial Disinfectant and Cleaner

A: Howdy neighbor! Zep Lemon Scented Anti-Bacterial Disinfectant is not formulated to fully clean or eliminate dog urine because it lacks the biological enzymes needed to break down tough uric acid crystals. While it can sanitize the hard surface where the accident happened, it will only temporarily mask the odor, which can lead to your pet re-soiling the exact same spot. For a complete clean, it is always best to use an enzyme-based or peroxide-based pet cleaner that permanently destroys the organic stains and pheromones.

A: Howdy neighbor! Zep Commercial Lemon Scented Anti-Bacterial Disinfectant is made strictly for hard surfaces, so it cannot be used for shampooing carpets. It also lacks the special enzymes needed to break down uric acid, meaning it will only temporarily mask cat urine rather than permanently destroying the odor.

A: No, this is not an enzyme-based cleaner. It is a ready-to-use antibacterial disinfectant and cleaner designed to kill 99.9% of germs and bacteria on hard, non-porous surfaces.

A: No, this cleaner does not require scrubbing or rinsing for convenience. To disinfect, you should apply the product liberally until the surface is visibly wet and allow it to remain wet for the required contact time before letting it dry.

A: No, Zep Commercial Antibacterial Disinfectant and Cleaner with Lemon is not recommended for use on hardwood floors. According to the manufacturer and official product labels, this cleaner is designed strictly for hard, non-porous surfaces that are not harmed by water.

A: Hello, thank you for your question. This product is intended for hard, non-porous surfaces. Wrestling mats are typically vinyl and flexible, which may not be compatible with this disinfectant. For safety and to avoid damaging the mats, use a disinfectant specifically labeled for athletic or gym mats.

A: Hello, thank you for your question. Per the vendor, "Yes, the Zep Commercial 1 gal. Lemon Scented Anti-Bacterial Disinfectant and Cleaner, #ZUBAC128, is an effective general purpose cleaner and disinfectant. If used as directed on the label, it will kill the bacteria and any other disease-causing microbes the mouse left behind."

A: Hi, This one is not. Zep does carry a product, Zep Drain Defense that does have enzymes.

A: Hi, Here is the information we received from our vendor- "The Zep Antibacterial Disinfectant & Cleaner ZUBAC is not recommended as a general cleaner for VCT, luxury vinyl or vinyl plank flooring. The product may leave a residue that will dull the look of the flooring. If a disinfectant-cleaner type product is wanted for cleaning these flooring types, we sell Zep No Rinse Floor Disinfectant ZUNRS128 (use dilution of 1:32)."

A: Hello, Thank you for your question. Here is the response that we received from the vendor, "I might try an enzymatic product first and let it sit in the drain overnight a few times. It's hard to say without seeing/smelling it. I'm assuming there is no garbage disposal. Enzymes will "eat" organic material (fats, oils, food) and turn it into carbon dioxide, so if food is caked in the walls, it may take a few days of letting it sit overnight if the food is caught in the p-trap. Either of these two products are enzymatic: Zep Drain Defense #ZLDC648, #ZLDC648"
