THERE’S ANOTHER WAY
If you thought chemicals were the only way to clean effectively, think again. This is the view of Zybax, manufacturers of non- toxic, non-pathogenic odour eliminators, who tell us more about their new alternatives.
A clean and pleasant environment is vital for any successful care home. Lingering odours can make life difficult for your employees and downright unpleasant for your customers. What’s more, failure to remove bad odours can be off-putting for your visitors and have a negative impact on the reputation of your business, your productivity and your profit.
Yet many healthcare establishments, care homes in particular, still suffer from malodours. If it’s so important, why do so many establishments continue to suffer from odour problems? Perhaps it’s the belief that the elimination of odours is impossible, or that highly specialised and costly equipment is needed.
The good news is that you can eliminate stubborn and persistent odours. What’s more, if you thought chemicals were the only way to clean effectively, think again. New developments in eco-cleaning products mean that eco-cleaners can now be as good – if not better – at cleaning and removing odours than chemical cleaners because eco- cleaners remove dirt in a different way.
Specially developed to be just as tough on grease, dirt and stubborn soiling, eco-cleaning products still clean and remove dirt deposits. But these new eco-cleaners use ‘friendly bacteria’ to break down the organic waste

efficiently, safely and naturally. In every millilitre of cleaning solution, you’ll find millions of tiny ‘good bacteria’ that begin multiplying and releasing enzymes – quickly getting to work eating and destroying the biological waste and removing the source of the dirt and odour.
With several different formulas available it’s still possible to clean a variety of surfaces. There are low water foam products to eliminate odours from carpets, upholstery and curtains; trigger spray and pressure spray formulas; and those that can be used with mops and cloths on washrooms, doors and walls. You can even use eco-cleaners to clean toilets and urinals.
Sometimes regular cleaning just isn’t enough to remove really strong smells that linger. But offensive odours can be one of the most difficult areas to manage and control: what is offensive to one person may not be offensive to another due to variation in people’s sensitivity. However, it is important to undertake good working practices and an understanding that workplace odours are unacceptable and treatable. Especially when considering studies of communities exposed to unwanted odours show that exposure can lead to evidence of stress-induced symptoms such as sleep disorders, headaches, respiratory problems, nausea and anxiety.
So it’s thanks again to ‘friendly bacteria’ that eco-cleaning solutions with technology such as Odourbond can alter any air-born odour molecules so that they no longer cause a smell. Chemical cleaners such as bleach cannot remove the source of the odour, often relying on chemical air fresheners to try to mask the smell and may even make health problems worse. Instead, by ecologically removing the source of the smell rather than masking the smell, eco-cleaners can be highly effective against a huge variety of odours ranging from urine, cigarette smoke and refuse to faeces, vomit and sour milk.
And because they don’t contain harmful chemicals, eco-cleaning solutions are super safe. In fact, Zybax is no more dangerous than washing- up liquid yet still ultra-powerful. So you can be reassured that you are eradicating the problem without facing the expense or inconvenience of replacing furnishings and floor coverings whilst also doing your bit for the environment and the health of your employees and customers.
