Big Lemon is a broad spectrum premium odour counteractant for both routine odour control as well as tough restoration problems.
Use it as a general air freshener, add it to your prespray or extraction rinse, or inject it neat into underlay at the source of an odour. Product code RP208002.
Important: Big Lemon's safety data sheet classifies it as Danger — causes serious eye damage. Wear eye protection whenever you mix, spray or inject it.

What a deodoriser can and cannot do
An odour counteractant deals with the odour in the air and in the fibre. It does not remove the source. Urine in underlay, contaminated water in a subfloor or soot in a cavity will keep producing odour until it is cleaned out or removed — then the deodoriser finishes the job.
On restoration work, remove or clean the source first and use the deodoriser as the last step, not the first.

Safety
From the safety data sheet (Aberford Holdings Pty Ltd (Razorback), issued April 2023):
- Signal word: DANGER
- Hazard statements: H315 Causes skin irritation; H318 Causes serious eye damage
- Poisons schedule: Not scheduled
- Transport: Not classified as dangerous goods for road and rail transport (ADG Code).
Causes serious eye damage. Wear eye protection. If it gets in the eyes, rinse cautiously with water for several minutes, remove contact lenses if easy to do, keep rinsing, and get medical attention straight away.
Wear chemical-resistant gloves. Wash skin thoroughly after handling. Take off contaminated clothing and wash it before reuse.
Spraying upwards as an air freshener puts mist in the air at face height. Keep it away from eyes, and keep occupants out of the area while you apply it.
For poisoning advice in Australia, call the Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26. Always read the full safety data sheet before use.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use it on wool?
Razorback states it is safe for wool and 5th-generation nylon carpets and fabrics. Pre-test first, as with any chemical on wool.
Why does a deodoriser carry a Danger signal word?
The SDS classifies the concentrate as causing serious eye damage (Category 1). That is a hazard to the person handling and spraying it, which is why eye protection is not optional.
Big Lemon or Big Blue?
Both are used the same way at the same rates. Big Blue's SDS classifies it as not hazardous, so it is the lower-hazard choice where operators or occupants are a concern.
Will it get rid of urine odour?
Only once the source has been dealt with. Inject it neat into the underlay at the source after the urine has been flushed or extracted, or replace contaminated underlay.
