When it comes to creating a positive end-to-end customer experience, odour control in your washroom facilities plays a significant role, one which is often overlooked.
For 76% of the public, a foul-smelling washroom creates feelings of disgust, which can greatly effect a customer’s willingness to return to your premises. Whether you are a restaurant, leisure facility or hair salon, it is vital that you keep the air fresh-smelling in your commercial bathrooms to keep customers happy and prevent any negative feedback creeping into those all important online reviews!
Most of the time, washrooms with high-traffic and multiple occupants can be difficult to monitor, and hand-applied air freshener and aerosols will struggle to eliminate odours, even if your workplace does have a regular cleaning schedule in place.
Thankfully, there are a number of air care products on the market which will help to keep your washrooms smelling fresh and leave a lasting positive impression on customers.
1. Odour Control Systems
Both active and passive odour control systems are available on the market. Active odour control systems are recommended for large, high-traffic washrooms as they provide a constant flow of fragrance, whereas the passive alternative can be programmed to release small bursts of fragrance throughout the day. A wide range of modern fragrance oils are available for these products, so you can find an appealing scent that is fitting for your premises and suited to your clientele’s demographic.
2. Urinal Screens
Did you know that 90% of washroom odours are caused by urine? Urinal screens can prevent drains from getting clogged and creating unpleasant odours. They offer a multi-purpose hygiene solution, by blocking debris from your pipes and preventing splash back, whilst also releasing a fresh scent to deodorise the area.
We recommend opting for a urinal screen with enzyme protection to keep the smell of urine at bay for longer.
3. Urinal Mats
Urinal mats can help to keep drains and urinals free flowing, whilst working constantly to combat odours between washroom occupants. Providing a slip-free surface for customers, many of these innovative mats release an extra burst of fragrance when they come into contact with fluid, safeguarding against splashes.
4. UV Technology
The air care industry is constantly evolving with new products targeting the source, the bacteria itself, in order to create an odour-free space. One of CIL Hygiene’s most popular products, Biozone, uses UV technology to reduce micro-organisms in the air by up to 70% and is capable of destroying human flu virus. Working 24 hours a day, this product is ideal not only for restrooms, but also for changing rooms and smoking areas, keeping your entire premises fresh all day every day.
