The Air we breathe

How important is clean odourless air? A recent study by the E.P.A. shows that during the last 20 years, indoor pollutant levels have surpassed highly industrialised outdoor pollutant levels. Adverse reactions to indoor pollutants include headaches, fatigue, nausea, depression and allergic symptoms.

An odour that is uncomfortable to smell and breathe is one warning sign of unclean air and measures should be taken to remove the source of the odour which could be a potential health hazard.

What is a Bad Odour

An odour molecule becomes bad smelling through oxidation or with living organisms dying and becoming rancid or decomposing. Some chemical manufacturing industries give off bad odours which are similar; the petrochemical industry gives off gas odours for instance.

Odours in the Home

These are the odours that visitors usually smell that the home owner cannot. Cooking oil vapours that rise and distribute over the carpet start to putrefy. Add to this pet hair and dead human skin cells, the cigarette smoke that attaches itself to curtains and soft furnishings and to carpet. All of these contribute to unpleasant household odours; even the humble cabbage when cooked cannot escape the blame.

Commercial Buildings

The air conditioning systems that transmit bad odours and bacterial spores through the building, rubber latex carpet backing, spilled drinks, food and human hair all contribute to indoor odour problems due to the high ratio of recirculated air and not enough fresh air. Garbage storage areas in these very same buildings are a constant source of food waste odours.

ODABAN - How Does It Help Solve These Problems

ODABAN is recognized as the industries premium odour absorber because it scientifically removes odour, using the “ZWAARDENMAKER PAIRS PRINCIPLE” which states that two or more odours combined, can cancel each other out. By using a complex blend of natural ingredients derived from plant life. ODABAN will cancel out the following industrial and domestic odour problems by chemically cancelling the oxidizing matter. Chemical disinfection is the second method of operation and it works by destroying the bacteria behind certain odour sources.

ODABAN gives you the solution to these odour problems:

• Sulphur and Sulphide odours.
• Rotting vegetable matter.
• Petroleum by product odours.
• Solvent odours.
• Bathroom and Locker room odours.
• Vomit and human waste odours.
• Colostomy bag odours.
• Carpet odours after flooding or in general carpet cleaning.
• Drains and overflowing sewerage odours.
• Certain fire smoke odours (non-electric fires).

Directions

Carpet Cleaning Industry
Manually remove as much of the odour source as possible by scraping or sponging. If the odour is unseen, lightly spray the whole carpet evenly with a 1 to 5 part water solution prior to prespraying with carpet cleaning pre-spray. This will allow the ODABAN to be rinsed through the carpet to eliminate the odour source.

High Odour Areas
Scrape off odour source. Then spray surface with 1 to 5 solution. Rinse through carpet with extraction machine to remove residual odour source remnants and to evenly distribute ODABAN through the carpet.

Garbage Compactors, Bins, Waste Dumps and Depots
Use pump spray or trigger spray and mist the offending odour area with a 1 to 10 part water dilution. Do not flush or rinse off.

By-Product Processors, Rendering Works and Tallow Plants
May be fogged or misted at the plants boundary using spraying systems or mist jets, airless or compressor powered pumping systems.
