Keeping Care Home Odours at Bay!

FIRST impressions count– and nowhere more so than in a care home. Yet too many first impressions are being undermined by the smell of urine greeting visitors to many care and social services environments. The fact is that a family looking for nursing care for an elderly relative is
unlikely to choose a nursing home if it smells unpleasant.
Odour control
The outcome will be comment in the community about the lack of odour control in the nursing home. This will impact on levels of residency, which will in turn impact on the home’s profitability. In the public’s view, offensive odour equates with lack of cleaning. The solution from Prochem Europe is one of its most successful chemicals.
BM015 Urine Neutraliser is a specially formulated acidic deodorant for neutralising and deodorising urine deposits in carpets and fabrics. It neutralises odour on contact and prevents staining. A yellow-tinted liquid
with a fresh fragrance, it comes in a ready to- use one-litre spray, and as concentrate in a five-litre container for dilution 1:1, pH4. B153 Urine Neutraliser will deodorise and chemically neutralise urine on contact, to prevent permanent staining and unpleasant odours during cleaning. However, as urine may cause a permanent stain, Urine Neutraliser may not be effective in removing old urine stains. BM015 Urine Neutraliser has applications in a wide range of environments in addition to care homes, hospitals and other healthcare environments. Public transport, hotels, restaurants, schools and prisons can benefit from using this product, as can any houses with young children or a pet in residence!
Pre-testing
BM015 Urine Neutraliser can be used on carpets, fabrics and upholstery, subject to pre-testing for colour-fastness. It may also be used for hard surfaces and urinal cleaning and deodorisation.
