P-WAVE OFFERS BUSINESSES AN EASY-TO- FOLLOW PREMISES ODOUR
MANAGEMENT PLAN With premises reopening, the priority for business owners and facilities managers is to ensure that they are not only clean and safe, but also that they can restore confi dence for returning staff and visitors.
First impressions count, and can begin before people even see if a venue is clean. The sense of smell is the strongest of the fi ve senses and one of the body’s front-line defence mechanisms, designed to set off alarm bells if a foul smell is detected. According to research, 75% of all emotions generated each day are due to smell, and we are therefore 100 times more likely to remember something we smell over anything we hear, see, or touch.
“Many premises have been closed for months, and while they might have been cleaned, air quality will be poor, and with a reduced frequency of cleaning routines, they will not smell as fresh as they should,” said P-Wave Sales and Marketing Manager Mark Wintle. “People’s trust in the cleanliness and safety of a venue can be negatively impacted if it smells bad, as they will wonder why, and suspect that it is not hygienic.”
Foul smells in any building are typically caused by the presence of bacteria which has been left to grow through either inadequate or infrequent cleaning procedures. While the washroom may be the cause of the worst odours in a building, improving the air quality and freshness throughout premises brings many benefi ts.
Washroom focus
In all premises, to feel safe, people need to see – and smell – that the washroom is immaculately clean, but poor plumbing or maintenance, or an inadequate cleaning regime can lead to unfortunate odours which are unlikely to receive fi ve-star reviews. However, in urinals it is the actual minute-by-minute usage that can cause the biggest problem.

Wintle said: “We’ve been solving the most common hygiene issue in urinals for years, as randomly splashed urine causes a headache for cleaners, plus a bad smell and a reduction in hygiene standards. P-Wave recently delivered the highly fragranced Slant6 urinal screen – a new angle on splash prevention, coupled with a major step forward in urinal deodorising technology.”
To ensure washroom cleanliness and hygiene it is worth installing bio-enzymatic cleaning solutions such as Ultra Big Blue in cisterns, and for toilet bowls there are passive highly fragranced solutions which can be clipped over the outside of the toilet rim (under the seat) or hung virtually anywhere. Meanwhile, passive or active air fresheners should be correctly specified and located to ensure spaces maintain a pleasant fragrance.
COVID-safe
Finally, many people remain concerned that premises are COVID-safe, so installing solutions such Steri-Core antimicrobial door handles provides reassurance and kills viruses and bacteria for the entire life of the fi xture.
Specifying correct rapid-kill antiviral surface protection products, such as GermErase
S-21, is also essential. Launched this month, and invented in Britain, GermErase S-21 delivers the fi rst line in pathogen defence, and provides unrivalled effi cacy in ultra- low concentrations. The two in one product – for hands and surfaces – kills SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19 virus) in less than 30 seconds and delivers residual surface protection for up to 24 hours on surfaces – making it the perfect solution to incorporate into your daily cleaning routine.

“As innovators in the industry, P-Wave understands that cleanliness and hygiene are the most important aspects of managing premises, but with the heightened awareness created by COVID-19, managers need to action every option available to ensure safety and reassure employees and visitors,” said Mark. “That’s why we’ve created this easy-to-follow guide as to where to place the most appropriate solutions.”
