The Science of Fresh: How Smell Hound’s Synbio® Technology Actually Eliminates Odours

The Science of Fresh: How Smell Hound’s Synbio® Technology Actually Eliminates Odours

Have you ever wondered why your air fresheners and sprays aren’t getting rid of your odour problems? At Smell Hound, we decided to look at the science. By utilising European-engineered Synbio® technology, the Smell Hound Odour Eliminator not only hides odours but also breaks them down.

Here is the breakdown of the microscopic science that makes our system a game-changer. 

What is Synbio® Technology? 

Traditional cleaners use harsh chemicals or disinfectants that kill all bacteria, both beneficial and harmful. This creates a ‘microbiological vacuum’ where bad bacteria can quickly rebound and thrive. 

Synbio takes a different approach by combining Prebiotics and Probiotics

  • Prebiotics: These are good bacteria that act as active dirt removers. They clean skin, fur, and surfaces at a microscopic level. 

  • Probiotics: These are specialised sugars that feed the good bacteria already present, ensuring they stay strong and keep working long after the initial misting.  

How it Works: The “Set-and-Forget” System

The Smell Hound device uses an ultrasonic mister to disperse a fine Synbio mist across a 50-100 square metre radius. Here’s the step-by-step biological process: 

  1. The mist lands on surfaces and your pet’s fur, reaching microscopic cracks where traditional cleaners can’t go. 

  2. The enzymes and probiotics break down organic matter, like proteins, dust, and organic dirt that causes odours. 

  3. Instead of just cleaning, it rebuilds a healthy microbiome on your pet’s skin and in your home environment. 

  4. While a chemical spray stops working the moment it dries, our probiotics continue to eat organic waste for days

Smell Hound is 100% natural, biodegradable, and dermatologically tested. It's safe for your pet's gut health and your family’s environment. 

More Than Just Odour Control: The Benefits for Your Pet

Because Smell Hound is designed for use on pet’s surroundings, it offers biological benefits that go far beyond a fresh-smelling living room: 

  • Soothes Skin & Fur: A balanced microbiome enhances the skin's natural protective barrier

  • Allergen Reduction: By removing proteins and microscopic impurities from pet hair, it significantly reduces common household allergens

  • Self-Repair: It helps increase the skin’s natural ability for visible self-repair, leading to a healthier looking pet
