Actichem Pet & Flood (AP491) is a specialised, professional-grade bio-decontaminant and odour counteractant engineered specifically to tackle severe pet urine contamination, blackwater flood damage, and organic decay.

Formulated with a low pH acidic active system and advanced microbiocides, Pet & Flood dissolves stubborn alkaline uric acid salt crystals embedded deep within carpet pile, underlay, subfloors, and skirting boards. Its innovative Elimotech chemistry permanently destroys mal-odour molecules at a micro-molecular level while eradicating odor-causing bacteria such as E. coli.

Pet & Flood is also the industry benchmark for reversing and preventing cellulosic browning caused by flooding, prolonged wetting, or high-alkalinity detergent residues.

Key Applications: Severe pet urine decontamination, Category 2 & 3 flood restoration, cellulosic browning correction, and organic sewage/rubbish bio-neutralisation.

Benefits
  • Uric Acid Crystal Dissolution: Low pH (2.5-3.0) acidic formula breaks down and dissolves alkaline urine salt crystals to prevent recurring odour bloom.
  • Elimotech Chemistry: Chemically neutralises and eliminates ammonia, amine, and mercaptan odour molecules permanently rather than masking them.
  • Broad-Spectrum Microbiocidal Action: Kills odour-generating bacteria and pathogens common in pet urine and flood water.
  • Cellulosic Browning Correction: Highly effective at reversing yellowing/browning on natural fibres, jute, and cellulosic fabrics caused by moisture or alkalinity.
  • Super Wetting & Deep Penetration: Rapidly penetrates deep into backing, dense underlay, timber framing, and porous concrete subfloors.
  • Fibre Safe: Safe for use on synthetic and wool fibres when used as directed (always pre-test for colour stability).
Application areas and surface suitability

Ideal for use on carpets, upholstery, timber subfloors, concrete, skirting boards, and restoration job sites affected by pet contamination or flood inundation.

How to use

Always pre-test in an inconspicuous area for colour fastness and fibre sensitivity. Thoroughly remove gross contamination and extract wet soils before application.

Dilutions
  • Severe Pet Urine / Flood Contamination: Use neat or dilute 1:4 with clean water (250ml per 1L water).
  • Moderate Decontamination & Browning Treatment: Dilute 1:10 (100ml per 1L water).
  • General Deodorising & Rinsing: Dilute 1:20 (50ml per 1L water).
Application
  1. Apply liberal quantity of Pet & Flood solution to ensure thorough penetration into the affected fibres and backing.
  2. Allow 10 to 15 minutes dwell time to break down uric salts and neutralise bacteria.
  3. Extract thoroughly using a hot water extraction unit (using Actichem Rinse Pro or clean water).
  4. For severe subfloor urine damage, apply directly to bare concrete or timber subfloor and allow to dry before installing new underlay and carpet.
