It is the fragrance most often chosen for occupied residential work, aged care, and anywhere the client will be back in the room within the hour and does not want to know a chemical has been used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eActichem's safety data sheet describes the concentrate as a light tan liquid with a floral odour. It is the same formulation, the same dilutions and the same hazard classification as the other two fragrances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eIs the 20 litre the right pack for you?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the bulk pack. At the routine dilution it holds enough concentrate for somewhere between 2,500 and 5,000 litres of working solution, so it suits a business running several trucks or doing regular commercial contract work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo things to think about before you order it. Decanting from a 20 litre drum into a jug is where spills and skin contact happen, so a tap or a pump is worth having if you are not already set up for it. And because Deofresh is a Category 1 skin sensitiser, more handling means more exposure - the gloves matter more on the bulk pack, not less.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you only run one truck, or you want to trial a fragrance before committing, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/actichem-deofresh-powder-fresh-floral-5-ltr\"\u003e5 litre pack\u003c\/a\u003e is the sensible starting point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhich fragrance should you order?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe three Deofresh fragrances carry the same hazard classification and the same dilution guidance.

Actichem's safety data sheet classifies it as a hazardous chemical under the WHS Regulations, signal word Warning, with a Category 2A eye irritation and Category 1 skin sensitisation classification. It is not dangerous goods, so it ships unregulated, but that is a transport rule rather than a hazard rating.

The fragrance is an addition, not the mechanism.
