4 myths about toilet odour

For most users, the initial reaction to resolving a foul odour is to musk them with fragrances. However, this masking technique usually cannot control or eliminate the odour problem. Despite multiple additions and fragrance layering, we spend more time and investment with less fruitful outcomes. Not understanding the root cause of odour development would also mean not applying the right solution to the problem.

Myth number 1- Flushing frequently will make the odours go away

Do you realise that the rotten smell stays and lingers no matter how often the toilet bowl is flushed? This is because encrustation from long-term bacteria and germs build-up can cause odour. Applying sanitiser with an enhanced formula to eliminate bacteria and leaving a protective layer on urinals and toilet bowls can help control odour in your washrooms. Therefore the root of the problem has to be solved first to tackle sour smells effectively.

Myth number 2- Sanitary waste bins are always smelly

Some washrooms must have appropriate sanitary units or adopt regular and frequent sanitation and cleaning. Over time, the disposed pure waste might leave an unpleasant foul smell if not cleared; worst of all, some units are not secure with a lid, thus exposing these bacteria and odour in the cubicle. A non-touch feminine hygiene unit designed with anti-bacterial technology and containing environmentally-friendly "BioSach" can address unpleasant odours effectively. The sanitary bin that you should know today is not always smelly.

Myth number 3- Washrooms without air conditioning are worse

Ventilation and open-concept washroom is a common washroom challenge. Most basic Air Fresheners might not refresh the washroom with a pleasant fragrance to control odour in a long-term and consistent manner. A different solution with Premium Scenting can be recommended to diffuse scents effectively and consistently in a wide coverage area.

Myth number 4- Old toilets smell bad

InfrastOver time, infrastructure gaps and old facility structures can create drainage, sewage, and piping disorders, ages, chokes, and corrosions that can emit lousy odor. It's essential to address your drainage issues, so you don't have any potential leaks, burst pipes, or overflowing wastewater into your premises. Drainage solutions and inspection services must be done to overcome your drainage challenges.

Some odours are caused by poor washroom hygiene habits that cause accumulated uric acids, bacteria, dirt, and grime on the floor, particularly around the urinal area. This can cause a foul, offensive smell and result in stubborn yellow stains. Deep Cleaning service can be applied to resolve stain removal and odour elimination and reduce cross-contamination risks in the washroom. 

It is about more than how old the washroom facility is but about addressing the root of the odour issue correctly, whether it is from the toilet bowl, sanitary bin or drainage system.
