Commercial Deodorizing: Keeping your Business Smelling Good

9/20/2022 (Permalink)

As a customer the first things we notice are how a business smell. Whether it be a restaurant, gym, retail store, office, the list goes on.  Businesses that are perceived as smelling good tend to have customers spend more time there and return to your business.

Identifying the source of bad smells is your first step to eliminating them. Once you identify the source you can deodorize and freshen.

Common Odor Sources:

• Restroom Odors

One place we all recall are the restrooms. Despite your best cleaning efforts, bad smells have an impression on your business. A study by Initial Hygiene, shows 77% of customers leave with a negative perception of a place that has unpleasant restroom smells.

• Mold & Mildew

Mold and mildew can cause a musty or old house smell. First you will need to find the source of the mold in places such as walls, drains or areas of high moisture. Make sure to identify if the mold will need to be professionally removed first. If you can mitigate the problem yourself, scrub down the affected areas with a specific cleaner the best you can and ventilate.

• Commercial Dumpsters

One common source of odors is garbage. Trash cans, dumpers and anywhere waste is disposed of. Trash cans should be emptied and disinfected regularly. Dumpster odors can consist of decaying food and other products. During the summer heat this can especially be prominent. So get ahead of the summer heat and treat your dumpsters with a deodorizing spray.
