Odour & Freshening

Sort by

This range is the finishing end of odour work — the replacement scent that resets an occupant's sense of a room once the source is gone.

It is deliberately a narrow job. Odour control runs in three steps: remove the source, neutralise the residual mal-odour molecule, then provide a replacement scent. These products are step three. Over a live source they are masking, and masking fails on schedule: the cover scent fades faster than the source decays.

Used properly, this step decides how a job is remembered. Two decisions matter: which scent, and how you apply it. Large jobs: stand-alone after the works, undiluted by organic load, so the new scent is the last impression left in the building. Small jobs where odour was never the focus: dose into the cleaning solution.

Actichem covers the fragrance end with Deofresh in Tutti Fruiti, Citrus and Powder Fresh Floral, in 5 and 20 litre, plus Deosan and Deozyme. Pet & Flood and Pet & Flood Elimo run from 500 mL to 20 litre where digestion and freshening happen together. Bridgepoint fields the Premium Deodorizer scents — Spice Air, Apple Air, Spring Morning, Meadow Fresh — plus Carpet & Fabric Deodorizers in Cherry, Fresh and Sweet Lemon. HydraMaster MultiPhase and Razorback Big Lemon and Big Blue cover production work.

How to choose a freshening product

Confirm the source is gone. If odour returns on humid days you have a surviving source, not a fragrance problem, and nothing here fixes it.
Choose the scent for the occupant, not yourself. Ask about scent sensitivity, asthma and pets first. Commercial and strata work wants neutral.
Decide stand-alone or in-solution. Stand-alone where odour is the reason you were called. In-solution for routine maintenance work.
Run one scent per job. Two fragrances layered over each other read as a cover-up. Keep prespray, rinse and freshening product compatible.
Match pack size to run rate. Fragrance in 20 litre is only economical if you turn it over. Buy 5 litre until usage is established.

If odour keeps returning the problem sits upstream: see the deodorisers and odour neutralisers for source-level chemistry, or the urine decontamination chemicals where uric crystal is the cause. For soil removal beforehand see carpet presprays, and for marks left behind, spotting chemicals.

What we see in the field

The phone call we pay attention to is, “It smelled great when I left, but a week later the odour came back.” Sometimes the treatment was too light, but more often something is still producing odour — urine in an underlay, contamination in a substrate, smoke residue in a cavity, or organic material that wasn't completely removed. A good deodoriser can neutralise what it reaches; it can't compensate for a source you haven't found.
