Tips to Avoid Odour in Your Home

Home is where we feel fresh and relaxed. If that very place has any lingering bad odour, it can really disturb our lifestyle. Exhaust fans and windows can do only so much about a bad odour. Even with air circulation, if the odour source still remains in the house, it’s of no use.

For the smells that make you run out of the house holding your nose, try the following tricks:

Identify the source! It’s got to be something hidden somewhere in some corner you have never seen before. If the source is in a room, burning candles and spraying air fresheners will only temporarily solve the problem. Once you’ve located the source, get rid of it.

Pour a cup or two of vinegar at the bottom of the dishwasher and wash the foul smell away. Vinegar is an excellent smell remover. Be prepared to smell vinegar for an hour so. But hey, it solves the bigger problem! As for the other temporary kitchen odours, opening the windows and the exhaust fans can help to solve a majority of the problem. Follow up with a spray of the air freshener.

The door of the front loading washing machine seals so tightly that the air never circulates inside the washing machine causing mould to grow inside. Regularly clean the washing machine by running a washing cycle with only two cups of bleach and hot water.

Much like the washing machine, even the fridge has a tendency to smell when kept closed for a long period of time. The age-old solution to tame fridge odours is to open a box of baking soda and stick it on a shelf or along the back.

If you have pets look out for areas where they may have soiled the floor or carpet. Most of the smell is caused by bacteria. Vinegar being a highly acidic substance kills the bacteria and thus the foul smell disappears. Mixing one portion of vinegar with three portions of water and rubbing it on the carpet can be rid you of the smell after a wash. Followed by this, you should probably train your pet not to pee/soil on the carpet.

Pet odour can also be controlled using activated charcoal. Activated charcoal is activated carbon which is capable of absorbing a wide range of odours. The activated carbon specially designed to absorb pet odours can be bought and kept in the vicinity of pet litter to neutralize the smell to a great extent.


Cleaning on your own is not always recommended because the home remedies can often damage your goods at home. That is where we, Bio Cleanse Services come into the picture. We are expert odour removal professionals equipped to handle the trickiest and the worst kind of odour in your house.  Call 0427 411 789/0412 547 547 now or visit our website.

Understanding Dry Ice Blasting and its benefits over other cleaning methods

Pic credit: flickr.com

Dry Ice Blasting, also known as CO2 Blasting, is a non-invasive method of cleaning. Dry Ice Blasting is an efficient and cost-effective way for industries to maximise production capability and quality.

Much similar to sand blasting, plastic bead blasting, or soda blasting, in Dry Ice Blasting, a solid media is accelerated under high-pressure air stream and made to hit the surface with a velocity causing the extra layer of dirt to fall off with the extra force.

Dry Ice Blasting is a shortened precision based cleaning procedure which leaves no residue except for the material to be disposed of. Upon hitting the surface, due to the heat present on the surface of the body, the ice evaporates, leaving no residue to be separately cleaned. CO2 is a non-poisonous gas which is both, inexpensive and easy to store in the worksite. Paint, oil, grease, asphalt, tar, decals, soot, dirt, ink, resins, and adhesives are some of the materials removed by this procedure.

Dry Ice Blasting has several benefits over other cleaning methods:

• Pellets are FDA, EPA, and USDA approved. 
• It is a non-flammable, non-abrasive and non-conductive cleaning method. 
• No secondary contaminants/solvents/grit media. 
• Environmentally friendly & safe as the ice sublimes into the atmosphere. 
• No harmful solvents – increases employee safety and longevity of equipment. 
• Faster & more productive than manual cleaning. 
• Allows cleaning in place without disassembly. 
• Reduced labour & other extra costs. 
• Can be as gentle as dusting smoke damage from books or as aggressive as removing weld slag from tooling.

At Bio-Cleanse Services, we provide exceptional customer service for Dry Ice Blasting to all of our valued clients in Sydney, Canberra, Goulburn, Batemans Bay and surrounding NSW. You can count on the quality cleaning and service. Call 0427 411 789 or email us at info@primerestorations.com.au

Things you need to know about cleaning blood and other body fluids

Pic Credit: https://goo.gl/LuZJ6K

A tragedy involving death or major injury can be overwhelming for anyone of us. But it is very important to take necessary precautions without wasting another minute so as to avoid any dangers. Unfortunate events like crimes, accidents, murders, suicides involve expelling of blood and other body fluids that may carry pathogens that spread deadly diseases. Hence, it becomes imperative to get a cleanup done immediately by calling an expert biohazard cleaning company that will clean and restore the premises to an inhabitable state. If you're ever faced with a situation like this in your property, keep in mind the following points to ensure you and your loved ones are safe.

Blood/Biohazard stains should be dealt with caution

Be it big or small, all blood stains should be handled carefully due to exposure to dangerous pathogens and high risk of diseases and infection. When there's a blood splatter, some particles of the blood become airborne which could spread to a wide area beyond the actual stain. They could consist of pathogens that could put your health in danger. Hence, it is important to take right measures that safeguard you and your dear ones from health hazards.

Rely on professional clean-ups

Before you even start cleaning, you realise the blood has already seeped into your floorings, furniture, and other materials. Cleaning these is no ordinary task. It requires a biohazard expert to clean up the blood and decontaminate the area effectively. Based on the extent of damage, one might have to even part with their furniture, carpeting, etc. for safety reasons.

Keep in mind the blood could be infectious

One can never tell if the blood discharge is infectious or not, just by looking at it. Hence, your safest option is to keep away from it and get the services of a biohazard cleaning company. Even if you're familiar with the victim's health history, there's still a chance of the blood containing pathogens that you may not know of.

You need a biohazard cleaning expert, not a carpet cleaning professional

In situations described above, you need to bank on a biohazard cleaning professional, not on an expert who's offering only carpet cleaning services. Biohazard cleaners are equipped with the right solutions and machinery to clean up all the blood and body fluids and sanitise the area, keeping infections at bay. Whereas carpet cleaners use tools that may not be as effective to ensure deep and thorough cleaning.

If you're ever faced with an unfortunate event that involves blood spill and body fluids, rely on the services of a professional biohazard cleaning company. At Bio Cleanse Services, we take every aspect into consideration before commencing the cleaning process. Our cleaners work with passion and compassion to ensure we meet your expectations. Contact us on 0427411789 to know more.

Bio-hazard cleaning – why and what?

Mention the term bio-hazard, and we think of a risk to human health or the environment arising from biological work, especially with microorganisms. In simple words, if any living organism comes in contact with a biological hazard, it can pose a threat to its health.

We might know what a bio-hazard material is and what the causes are for it. But do you know what is involved in a bio-hazard clean-up?

If you do know (Great!), if not, then go ahead and read this blog.

When a bio-hazard clean-up takes place, the situation is completely assessed with caution and all items like carpet, furniture, wallpaper, etc. are removed and dealt with carefully. They get disposed in bio-hazard bags at a federal and state regulated site for disposal. If you think wearing a safety gear is enough to take up the task for a bio-hazard cleaning then you’re wrong, because no family member, colleague or regular cleaner are trained to deal with bio-hazardous situations. A professional however will have blood-borne pathogen (BBP) training, own protective gear, would be receiving regular inoculation of Hepatitis B vaccine and exposure evaluation.

Therefore bio-hazard cleaning is no layman task and requires well trained and equipped professionals. Bio Cleanse Services is a company dedicated to clean and remediate the affected area by following strict guidelines in the clean-up, removal and disposal of bio-hazardous/bio-medical waste.

So if you’re caught in a bio-hazard situation? Call Bio Cleanse at 042 741 1789 or visit our website: http://www.bio-cleanse.com.au/ . We are here to help

Keeping the Toilet and Bathroom Clean

Did you know that the toilet is one of the high-humidity areas in the house? Due to the amount of water in the cistern, it is prone to germs breeding there.

Bacteria can be found in the toilet bowl, on the floor, in the flush and even on the door handle. It is important to know that every time you flush the toilet, bacteria is projected up to 1.5m high into the air and covers all the surrounding surfaces. Bacteria can even land on your toothbrush if your toilet is in the bathroom.

Types of bacteria found in the toilet/bathroom

Microorganisms, bacteria, viruses, & pathogens on bathroom surfaces can survive for up to a week or more. Some of the bacteria commonly found in the toilet are listed below :

•    Gastrointestinal viruses that like Norovirus cause stomach ailments in humans and are easily transmitted.

•    Enteric pathogens, are organisms usually spread by contaminated foods but are also carried in faeces.  E. coli, salmonella, shigella, and campylobacter are some examples of these pathogens. An infected person can suffer severe diarrhoea with bloody stools.

•    Skin and respiratory organisms include the staphylococcus aureus (staph) bacteria. They also include the antibiotic-resistant MRSA strain, and Group A Strep, also known as ‘flesh-eating’ bacteria.

•    Dermatophitic fungi causes infections like athlete's foot which is transmitted by walking barefoot in the bathroom.

•    Residual fungi like mould and mildew that can grow in shower areas don't usually cause infection. However, it can aggravate illnesses like asthma and allergies.

Keeping a toilet and bathroom clean as well as practicing good hygiene helps in lowering the risk of infections and preventing illness affecting the aging and unhealthy individuals.

Here are some useful tips and advice to help you maintain a clean toilet and bathroom.

•    A clean bathroom requires daily wiping of surfaces and weekly deep cleaning.

•    Use cleaning products specifically designed for toilet/bathroom.

•    Direct contact areas like the flush and taps as they are breeding grounds for bacteria should be cleaned with extra care.

•    Clean the toilet brush properly.

•    In order to reduce the spread of bacteria in the room, flush the toilet with the toilet lid down.

•    Preferably use a push-pump soap dispenser which doesn't allow bacteria to collect. Wash hands thoroughly every time you use the toilet.

•    Ensure the ventilation system is working and air the toilet to reduce the level of humidity.

Are you faced with a messy and dirty toilet and bathroom, and are in need of a professional cleanup? Bio Cleanse Services has trained, qualified and specialized cleaning technicians.  We ensure a thorough cleaning & decontamination of all affected areas.

The damage behind crime scene cleaning

What would you do if you entered a room full of blood? There is blood on the walls, bloody fingerprint on the doorknob and there is a pool of blood twice the size of the body. So much blood across the floor, it seeps through the cracks. Not to forget the foul smell that lingers in the room because of the death.

Everyone knows that the police nor the forensic who investigate the crime scene, do not clean up the area. It’s up to the professionals to take up the tedious task of cleaning the place up.

Mould growth and the need for remediation

Most people don’t consider mould growth a serious problem. But they are wrong.  Mould growth is a serious issue and any indication of mould growth at your home or office should be considered a serious issue.

Mould growth can take place due to various reasons. One of the most common reasons is by humidity and water damage. If that’s the case, then mould remediation is necessary as it can cause serious health concerns. Not only is mould bad for your health, it can severely damage and devalue your property, creating unwanted strain to your property as well.

Exposure to mould can have serious health issues like nasal stuffiness, throat irritation, coughing, wheezing, eye irritation and in severe cases skin irritation. Often young children and elderly people and the most prone to being affected by mould.

Mould growth takes place in places with a lot of moisture. Areas around leaks in roof, pipes, areas under the sink and in bathrooms are common breeding grounds for mould spores.

Odour can effect your stress levels at home?!

What is odour? Odour is a distinctive unpleasant smell. It is basically the sensation that results when olfactory receptors in the nose are stimulated by particular chemicals in gaseous form. It isn’t pleasant and not something people want to be around.

Odour in homes, buildings or offices may arise from various sources right from human decomposition to the just plain soil. Regular cleaning often helps get rid of general soiling odours, but for another serious type of odours caused by biological material, you need professional help and guidance.

There are different types of odours like compost and organic waste, rubbish odours, landfill gas odours, anaerobic odour, wastewater odour, industrial odour, etc. Most of these odours are caused by lack of oxygen, a mixture of gasses, solid waste, house rubbish or soil. Some of the odours are caused due to sewage, paints and solvents, animal livestock and poultry, food processing, commercial kitchen, etc. 

How is it possible to avoid odour? Firstly, proper aeration is required for no odours to be accumulated at one place. A suitable room temperature must be maintained for degradation to take place at a normal pace. Moisture should be maintained and things should be kept in a neat way with minimum wastage. 

The faster you get rid of odours, the better it keeps you away from a stressed and dirty environment and also makes it easier to clean. Odour cleaning is a tedious job and hence most of the time professional help is necessary.

We at Bio Cleanse are a team of certified professionals who are trained and experienced in dealing with odour control & clean-up. We have all the required detection tools, specialized agents, equipment, products and experience required to handle the odour clean-up job & restore the air quality of the place.

Are you a hoarder?

Simone says that she’s always been having trouble

throwing away things. Anxiety strikes her when she is 

attempting to discard any item. This is a classic example of a hoarder. Hoarding is defined as having persistent difficulty in discarding or parting with possessions, regardless of their 

actual value. The behavior of a hoarder effects all those

 associated with the hoarder.

What are the common symptoms of a hoarder?

• Severe anxiety when it comes to throwing away any item

• Constant suspicion of other people touching your items or that someone will throw them out.

• Hoarders cannot throw away possessions.

• Have an assumption that the item will be useful someday.

• The home of a hoarder has the furniture gradually moved to the middle of a room with useless objects around it.

• There is no organization to the clutter. Items are stacked precariously at random or even tossed inside the room.

• Keeping items of no value like magazines, newspapers, or catalogs.

• The home of the hoarder becomes unsanitary.

Homes inhabited by hoarders could be dangerous, unhealthy, or both. We at Bio Cleanse Services offer hoarders a complete clean-up service. To know more about our cleaning services, visit us at http://www.bio-cleanse.com.au/
