Air fresheners play a very important role in human life, a pleasant scent has a significant impact on our mood. The greater role of air fresheners is reflected in the wide range of products available on the consumer and professional markets. Sensory sensations are increasingly becoming a classifier for assessing the cleaning service and its quality. Therefore, it is a very important element of maintaining cleanliness - especially in public facilities and HORECA facilities.
Currently, there are a huge number of products available on the market that neutralize unpleasant odors and freshen the air. These products can be divided according to their purpose or operation. Some only mask unpleasant odors, others remove them completely or only partially. The most important criterion when choosing the right product is to determine what expectations we have regarding its performance: whether we want to neutralize an unpleasant odor, whether we want to freshen the air, or maybe we are interested in the long-lasting effect of long-acting products.
Products that freshen the air regularly and those with a long-lasting effect have as many supporters as opponents. Not everyone likes the same smell hanging in the air for a long time. Some people like dynamic changes in the smell of the same rooms. For others, neutralizing unpleasant odors and leaving the room with a natural scent is enough. Let us present products for various purposes for refreshing the smell in rooms and agents that neutralize unpleasant odors.
Neutralization of unpleasant odors – air fresheners
Neutralization of unpleasant odors can be divided according to their action: ozonation, refreshing and neutralization.
Ozonation
Ozonation is a disinfection method without the use of chemicals. The active element here is ozone, a gas with strongly oxidizing properties. If we use this method to remove unpleasant odors, we talk about deodorization . Deodorization involves reducing or changing unpleasant odors. This is done by removing some of the impurities or introducing additional chemical compounds that will chemically react with the ingredients responsible for the unpleasant odor. You should not worry about another problem, i.e. removing the aroma of the ozone itself. At most, it may be perceived as an extremely fresh scent. Some people perceive it as a forest scent or have similar associations with it. It does not happen that ozone becomes an unpleasant smell for any person.
Refreshing
In turn, the use of air fresheners gives the interior a pleasant smell, but requires prior neutralization of unpleasant odors, because the use of the freshener only masks them. Air fresheners containing neutralizing substances appear on the market. An example of such a product is the Clinex Scent Getleman True Man concentrated air freshener in the mist. The use of such products not only masks, but also removes unpleasant odors from the room. Thanks to them, there is no need to first use an odor neutralizing agent. The odor neutralizers contained in the freshener will work while a pleasant scent spreads around the room.
Neutralization
A neutralizer is a product whose main task is to remove unpleasant odors. The neutralizer molecules combine with the molecules responsible for unpleasant odors and are destroyed by the ingredients contained in it. The Clinex brand offers an interesting product, Nano Protect Silver Odor Killer, with two scents (Fresh, Green Tea). It is an innovative odor neutralizer that, thanks to the use of active silver nanoparticles, eliminates unpleasant odors very effectively. The product is ideal for deodorizing odors that are difficult to remove, e.g. tobacco, animal odors, garbage. Odor neutralizers are especially used in places where effectiveness is important while having minimal impact on the consumer’s perception. Examples of such places include restaurants, nurseries, kindergartens and schools. For these types of places, the substances contained in the product are also important. Here, a product tailored to these needs comes to the rescue – Clinex Eco+Protect Odor Killer . It is an ecological odor neutralizer that does not have any pictograms on the label, which makes it a safe product for users and the environment . It does not contain alcohol and the formula is based on biosurfactants.
Fresheners for everyday use vs. long-lasting ones
Air fresheners can be divided according to their purpose. We can distinguish here products for everyday use and products with a much higher concentration and extended release. The first group includes products that can be dosed every day and their scent is noticeable for several hours. Such products can be used in small rooms, and the amount of the composition is selected so that it does not pose a threat to the potential user. We must remember that fragrances contain allergens, which may be dangerous for very sensitive people. The Clinex brand, examining market demand and familiarizing itself with the latest list of lifestyle diseases, met the needs of customers by creating professional air fresheners containing allergen-free compositions . Clinex AIR PLUS was created so that the product meets the expectations of even the most demanding customer.
Observing the market and customer expectations, we notice that fragrances are a very important element of cleanliness. Many professional companies, e.g. cleaning companies, struggle with the eternal problem of how to maintain a pleasant, delicate scent while performing cleaning services twice a week. Well, the Clinex brand has found a way to do this.
A new SCENT fragrance line was created for the customer’s needs. These are products with an innovative formula that releases a fragrance note for up to several days. Thanks to this solution, we notice that the psychophysical perception of people using such rooms is much more positive.
Summary – air freshening
Each of us likes staying in rooms filled with pleasant smells, they improve our mood and work seems easier. Sensory sensations are increasingly becoming a classifier for assessing the cleaning service and its quality. Therefore, it is a very important element of maintaining cleanliness.
Every person is different and there are very common cases that different people’s sense of smell works slightly differently. It’s not that one person notices an unpleasant odor and the other doesn’t. Although it is worth mentioning that such cases also occur, they are rare and are rather a sign of dysfunction of the olfactory organ. These are more subtle changes in smell that may produce slightly different sensations, whether pleasant or not, in different people.
Almost any air freshener with a long-lasting scent may deceive the sense of smell in the final stages of its operation. When, after a few days, its durability becomes imperceptibly lower and lower, the sense of smell may not pay attention to certain smells. When your nose gets used to the smell of the air freshener and a less pleasant scent enters the atmosphere, you may not notice it at all. Therefore, fresheners with a long-lasting scent are good in specific cases. They work well in well-kept and regularly cleaned rooms.
