FAQs
How much solution can I make from one 5L bottle?
You can make up to 500L of cleaning solution by diluting the concentrate according to the recommended ratios.
What is the recommended dilution for general cleaning?
A common starting point for general cleaning and deodorizing is a dilution of 1 part cleaner to 100 parts water (1:100). For heavier soiling, a 1:50 dilution can be used.
Can this cleaner be used on fabrics?
The product is designed for washable surfaces. It is not recommended for fabrics unless they are explicitly stated as washable and tested for colorfastness in an inconspicuous area.
Is the lemon scent strong?
The cleaner has a lemon scent to help deodorize. The intensity of the scent will depend on the dilution ratio used and the ventilation of the area being cleaned.
How should I store the Gardeners Dream Kennel Cleaner?
Store the cleaner in its original container, tightly sealed, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children and pets.
Can I mix this with other cleaning products?
It is not recommended to mix this product with other cleaning chemicals, as it may create hazardous reactions or reduce its effectiveness.
Is this product safe for animals?
Once diluted and applied to washable surfaces as directed, and the area is properly aired or rinsed, it is generally safe. However, avoid direct contact with animals during the cleaning process and ensure they do not lick or ingest the solution.
Troubleshooting
Lingering odors after cleaning
Ensure the correct dilution ratio was used and the area was thoroughly rinsed or wiped down after cleaning. For very persistent odors, a stronger dilution or a second application might be necessary.
Product appears cloudy or separated
This can sometimes happen with concentrated formulas. Shake the container gently before diluting. If the issue persists after mixing with water, contact customer support.
Surface appears dull or discolored after cleaning
The dilution may have been too strong, or the surface is not suitable for this type of cleaner. Dilute the cleaner further or rinse the area thoroughly with clean water. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
