Everything you need to make the call - who each one is for, and who should skip it.
Go for it if you...
You want an EPA Safer Choice certified spray with zero fragrance secrets and no hazardous preservatives.
You need a targeted spray for pet accidents, litter areas, trash cans, or fabric odors.
You already use Fresh Wave Gel and want the same safe formulation in spray form.
Spraying directly on odor sources is your preferred method over passive gel placement.
You want a completely fragrance-free odor eliminator with no synthetic scent added.
You have cats or dogs and need a spray that eliminates pet odors rather than masking them.
You accept that 'proprietary mineral chemistry' means not every ingredient is disclosed.
You've tried Fresh Wave and prefer Pooph's water-clear, scentless formulation.
The main thing to know
Effective duration per use is not stated, so you cannot pre-plan how often to reapply — this is a spray-as-needed product, not a continuous odor controller.
Pooph's CupriDyne mineral/oxidant chemistry is a genuine active odor elimination mechanism, but the proprietary formula — only partially disclosed — prevents independent safety verification that third-party certified alternatives provide.
Skip this if you...
You need a product that provides continuous multi-day odor control without repeat application.
You are looking for an air freshener that maintains a lasting scent in a room — this neutralizes, not scents.
Full ingredient transparency is non-negotiable for you — Pooph uses a proprietary formula that doesn't disclose the complete ingredient list.
You need a third-party certified product (EPA Safer Choice, EWG verified) to feel confident in safety claims.
Neither of these quite what you're looking for?
