Ammonia is the sharp smell that builds where urine soaks in and sits. Sweet PDZ granules are a natural mineral that catches ammonia and odor molecules on the granule surface, so the stall smells fresher between full clean-outs.
The granules are larger and gritty, and they stay dust-free as you spread them, which keeps the job tidy when you are working in the stall. Clean the stall as you normally would, then scoop the granules over the spots where urine pools and along the stall edges before fresh bedding goes down.
It is non-toxic, organic, recyclable and compostable. When you clean out, the used refresher can go to the compost pile, garden beds or fields, where the captured ammonia releases as a nutrient for the soil. The mineral comes from the earth and goes back to it.
Highlights

- Non-toxic, organic and gentle to use
- Recyclable and compostable when you clean out
Why a stall refresher earns a spot in the barn
Even a stall you clean every day builds ammonia in the corners, where the wet spots form. A refresher gives you a quick way to deal with those spots between full clean-outs, before the smell spreads through the barn. Keep a scoop by the door so the job takes a minute, not a trip.
It suits horse owners with a closed barn, a shed row or a small stall. It is just as useful in small animal habitats and litter boxes, since the granules are used there too. Anyone who wants a natural, compostable option for odor control will find it fits the routine.

How to use it
- Clean out the stall as usual, then sprinkle a feed scoop of granules over wet spots and high-traffic areas before you add fresh bedding.
- Between full clean-outs, scoop a handful over wet spots and problem areas.
- When you clean out, sweep the used refresher into a pile for the compost, garden beds or fields.
- Close the bag and keep it dry between uses, so the granules stay ready to absorb.
Good to know
- Wet spots are where the smell starts, so hit them before they dry.
- Keep a scoop in the barn for quick refreshes between clean-outs.
- Pair it with a muck tub and a sturdy pitchfork so the clean-out goes faster.
- Used refresher can feed garden beds and fields, so the clean-out does double duty.
- With routine cleaning, a 40 lb bag treats a typical horse stall for about 3 to 6 weeks.
About Sweet PDZ
Sweet PDZ was introduced in 1983 to give pet and livestock owners odor control that is safe and effective. The line is built on a natural mineral with no perfumes or cover-up agents, and the company's mission is to borrow a natural mineral from the earth and return it as a soil conditioner.
Keep a bag by the stall door so the wet spots never get ahead of you.
