Odours ex-stinked
August 1st 2008

Noticed a bit of a whiff at places like hotels and pubs since the smoking ban? JohnsonDiversey says odour neutralising technology in its Enhance carpet range solves the problem

One unexpected outcome of last year's smoking ban is that smells previously masked by pungent smoke are free to come to the fore.This is important because the smell and appearance of a room has a significant effect on perceptions by residents, guests and customers. In short, fresher, cleaner rooms mean more repeat business. In hotels it can also mean that rooms previously reserved for smokers can be made available to non-smokers more easily for greater allocation flexibility to boost occupancy rates.

While laundering curtains and linen will remove these odours relatively easily, getting rid of smells from carpets and upholstery can be more problematic.The makeup of carpets, in particular, tends to trap the particles that lead to bad smells, and routine cleaning procedures such as daily vacuuming can be ineffective at removing them.

Vacuuming remains an important first part of any tried-and-tested three stage cleaning regime but odours are more effectively eliminated during the second and third phases.

JohnsonDiversey's Enhance range of professional carpet and upholstery care products contain a patented Odour Neutralising Technology (ONT) that has been specially developed to bond with and chemically neutralise the molecules and particles that cause bad smells. Rival products, on the other hand, tend to simply mask smells using strong perfumes that may not always be appropriate or desirable for a particular application.The Enhance range is also Woolsafe approved, which means it can be used safely on a wide range of fabrics, including wool.

Enhance Spot and Stain has been formulated for daily cleaning to provide a safe all-in-one spotting solution for all common water and oil based spots and stains on all carpets and soft furnishings.

Supplied in a ready-to-use and easy-to-use trigger spray, the product is simply applied directly onto the stain and left for 30 seconds before blotting and rinsing with clean water.

Concentrated Enhance Foam Shampoo is suitable for the intermediate cleaning of all types of carpet and upholstery every two or three months.The formula is pH neutral and it can be used for any carpet shampoo technique, including dry and wet shampooing as well as for the carpet pad method.

The reduced drying time that comes from dry foam cleaning allows a room to be back in service very quickly, an important consideration in the modern 24 hour culture. Intermediate cleaning can also eliminate up to 99 per cent of the allergens produced by carpet-dust mites.

Enhance Extraction Cleaner is a concentrated extraction cleaner for the periodic cleaning of all types of carpet and upholstery. Its formula contains a special combination of wetting and emulsifying active ingredients delivering excellent cleaning performance to extract the most stubborn stains and odours. It cleans down to the carpet base and helps to restore its appearance.The formula is pH neutral which means it can be used on all types of carpet.

A simple, efficient carpet and upholstery maintenance regime that utilises the Odour Neutralising Technology of the Enhance range leads to perfect results with the cleaner and fresher carpets and upholstery that are good for business.

Proper maintenance using the Enhance range also helps to make cleaning tasks easier for staff for better productivity and prolongs the carpet's life which means lower running and replacement costs.
