Sonitron Fresh Citrus Deodorant is a fragranced deodoriser with a blended citrus perfume. Sonitron designed it to support and enhance the action of its citrus cleaning products, for use in carpet and upholstery cleaning. Its technical bulletin describes the scent as a lemon-led citrus blend, compatible with citrus detergents and suited to areas near kitchens or food.
What It Does — and Does Not Do
Sonitron's bulletin describes its deodorants as combining odour destroyers with a perfume that leaves a limited residual scent: long enough to show the cleaners have been, but not strong enough to bother occupants. It does not explain how they work, and the safety data sheet describes Fresh Citrus as a premium room deodorant. CCW does not claim that it neutralises odour at the source.
No deodoriser fixes an odour whose source is still there. Remove or clean the source first — soil, urine, smoke residue, wet or mouldy materials — then use Fresh Citrus to finish the job.
Where It Is Used
- Carpet and upholstery cleaning, especially after a citrus prespray or detergent
- Areas near kitchens and food
- Flood restoration
- Motels and hotels, toilets and amenities, vehicles and homes
Directions for Use
Sonitron's Deodorants technical bulletin gives these rates and methods:
- In the tank: add 100 to 300 ml of Fresh Citrus per 20 L of extraction solution.
- Spraying carpet after cleaning: pre-dilute 1 in 10 (1 L of Fresh Citrus plus 9 L of water, or 500 ml plus 4.5 L) and spray lightly. Control the strength by limiting the spray or diluting further.
- Room air: a light spray into the air is usually enough.
- Heavy contamination: inject below the carpet surface.
- Severe cases: lift the carpet, remove the contaminated underlay, swab the floor with deodorant, fit new underlay, and spray both sides of the carpet before relaying it.
Test on an inconspicuous area of upholstery and delicate fabrics first.
Alcohol content: the bulletin says Sonitron deodorants contain about 20% alcohol, which it states is not enough to support combustion, while the current SDS for Fresh Citrus declares ethanol at 1–10%. The two figures have not been reconciled. If you plan to fog it, check with us first and follow your fogger manufacturer's directions and the SDS.
Safety
Sonitron's safety data sheet (SDS 5022, revision 3, 2 February 2026) does not classify Fresh Citrus as hazardous to health, and no special protection is required in normal use. It is marked harmful to aquatic life, so do not pour concentrate into stormwater. The bulletin adds that the deodorants can dry the skin and must be kept away from young children. For large spills, wear eye protection and gloves. Read the full SDS before first use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Sonitron deodoriser should I choose?
Fresh Citrus is lemon-led and pairs with citrus detergents. Sonifresh is a fresh cologne-type scent and Sonitron's most popular. Odorblok is the most persistent, for properties that will be closed up after cleaning.
Can I use it through my carpet cleaning machine?
Yes. Sonitron's bulletin lists it as an in-tank additive at 100 to 300 ml per 20 L of extraction solution.
Will it get rid of urine odour?
Not on its own. Remove the source with a urine treatment and extraction, replace underlay where needed, then deodorise.
