If you are doing decomposition, sewage or whole-room urine work, the 5 litre is the sensible pack - a 500 ml bottle makes only 8 to 16 litres of solution and a single contaminated room can use most of that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does hot water matter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeozyme contains live Bacillus organisms. Hot water, bleach and chlorinated products may kill them. The product will still neutralise odour molecules, but the enzyme digestion - the reason you chose it over a straight neutraliser - stops. Mix it cool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use it on wool?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes - Actichem state it is suitable for all wool and synthetic fibres. Pre-test in an inconspicuous spot for dye and fibre stability first, especially on delicate fibres. Note that Deozyme is mildly alkaline at pH 8.5-8.8, which is worth knowing if you are working to a specification that sets a pH range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I have to rinse it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, on the surfaces you are cleaning - rinse thoroughly with clean water, and do not let the solution dry on the surface. The exception is the deliberate 1:100 residual on resilient surfaces, which is meant to stay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Deozyme hazardous?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Actichem's safety data sheet classifies it as a hazardous chemical under the WHS Regulations, signal word Warning, with a 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. Wear gloves and eye protection when handling the concentrate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I mix it with a sanitiser to save a step?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Do not mix Deozyme with any other product.

No deodoriser fixes an odour whose source is still sealed under something - contaminated underlay, a wet subfloor, a cavity.
