Default Advice from Kennel owners

Does anyone who has a kennel have any advice on how to best get rid of the smell? We have a dog run that has blacktop for the surface. In years past I've usually just taken a gallon of bleach to clean the smell. But this year it's especially bad. Even when it's dry it's bad.

We have weeping tiles built in under our outside runs and a sidewalk block surface over gravel for drainage. Everything gets rinsed down twice a day with high pressure water and once a week I spray the Home Depot Anti bacterial disinfectant spray through a back pack sprayer after diluting the Home Depot product. Do the same thing on the indoor runs in the kennel and it seems to work.

How often do you wash it down with bleach.

Talk to an industrial cleaner supply place. There are lots of great products on the market.

I use bleach and some kind of all purpose cleaner my wife buys.

I hose the kennel and use cleaner at least once a week. BUT my dogs do not **** or crap in the kennel ever, so I'\m just dealing with wet dog smell at worst.
