ATP KennelSol 1-Step Kennel Cleaner - Gallon Disinfectant

In this review the ATP KennelSol 1-Step Kennel Cleaner is evaluated as a practical, everyday disinfectant for pet owners and small facilities; its single biggest reason to buy is the convenience of a true 3-in-1 formula that cleans, disinfects, and deodorizes in one application. The reviewer found the wintergreen scent unobtrusive and appreciated that the pH-neutral, non-staining formula replaces harsher chemicals while remaining effective against a range of pathogens, making it suitable for both home use and professional pet care spaces.

Key Features

• 3-in-1 formula: Combines cleaning, disinfecting, and deodorizing in one step so routine cleaning takes less time and fewer products.
• Broad pathogen activity: Proven effective against viruses, bacteria, and fungi, including pathogens commonly associated with kennels and shelters.
• No rinse required: A leave-wet application saves time and removes the need for follow-up rinsing on many surfaces and equipment.
• Pet-safe formulation: pH-neutral and non-staining, it offers a gentler alternative to bleach while still providing strong germ protection.
• Cost-effective dilution: Concentrated liquid allows dilution to treat many surfaces from a single gallon, lowering per-use cost for frequent cleaning.

Who It's For

The ATP KennelSol is best for pet owners, small boarding facilities, groomers, and rescue groups who need a reliable disinfectant that also deodorizes and is easy to use. Its veterinarian-trusted formula and effectiveness against common pet pathogens make it a sensible choice for anyone cleaning kennels, runs, crates, floors, and nonporous equipment.

Those who should look elsewhere include operators who require a fragrance-free product for extreme scent sensitivity or users who need a dry-contact disinfectant designed for porous textiles; KennelSol is optimized for wet application on hard surfaces and leaves a mild wintergreen scent.
