How to eliminate unpleasant odours

Sometimes washing garments and surfaces is not enough to eliminate also unpleasant odours. HygienFresh has a professional solution even for this annoying problem!

Sometimes washing garments or cleaning floors is not enough, since the problem of unpleasant odours often remains.
Since knowing one’s own enemy is essential to defeat it, let’s take a step back and discover the causes of bad smells.

Odours are caused by different volatile chemicals originating from plants (flowers and other parts), food in general or animals (human beings included) that people perceive with their smell in a pleasant or unpleasant way.
The reason why some people like an odour and other people don’t like is that our brain individually interprets this information by associating smells with a sensation or a memory. Therefore what someone can perceive as an unpleasant odour for others is really good and vice versa!

Obviously, there are some unpleasant odours that human beings usually don’t like, above all the ones we usually face during house chores, both for laundry and surface cleaning.

What causes unpleasant odours in our homes?

The most frequent causes of bad smells in our homes are insufficient hygiene of rooms, lack of air circulation, pets, presence of smokers, accumulation of waste, humidity, mould, burnt smell and kitchen vapours.

Moreover, due to olfactory habituation, if we are surrounded by these odours, we don’t often notice them until we go somewhere else and come back after a while.
Our sense of smell has the function of perceiving new odour traces. For this reason, the perception of odours we are accustomed to decreases. This mechanism is instinctive and atavistic so it can’t be controlled.

Why do garments stink?

Unpleasant odours often remain on fabric fibres. Some reasons why garments smell bad when we take them out of our wardrobe are:

  • Presence of mould in the washing machine
  • Excessive load of the washing machine drum
  • High dosage of the detergent
  • Infrequent use of these garments
  • Cigarette smoke
  • Humidity residues
  • Organic residues (sweat and urine)

All these factors can have different effects on the various types of garments. The molecules responsible for odours have different structures and chemical compositions, so they stick to fibres more or less strongly. Some of them stick more easily to synthetic fibres while others stick more to natural fibres.
Sometimes for this reason it is very complicated to remove odours from textile items used in sport centres, clinics, elderly homes, train stations, airports and kennels.

Sweat odour on clothes

The most frequent smell we try to remove from daily laundry is the odour of sweat.
Sweat is actually odourless, the bad smell comes from the bacterial colonies who live on the skin and eat some molecules that are produced by sudoriparous glands. The “degradation” of these substances releases some by-products, like sulphur, whose odour resembles the one of onions.

Food odour on furnishing fabrics

When we cook, food odours often deposit on furnishing fabrics, such as curtains, cushions, carpets and upholstery: even if we air the rooms, odours stubbornly stick to fabrics.
While we cook or fry food, the fabrics surrounding us or that we wear absorb odours and it is necessary to wash them in the washing machine to freshen them up.

Now that we know the problem in detail, let’s see how to solve it.
HygienFresh has developed ODORBLOK line of revolutionary Multifunctional Odour-removers, which eliminate odours and release a fresh and clean scent in the air and on fabrics, thanks to their special formula.

These products have a special FORMULA that is ACTIVE AGAINST ALL ODOURS and carry out a TRIPLE ACTION for a flawless result.
