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.

How to get rid of bad odour?

Urine stains are one of a pet owner's biggest headaches, particularly cat urine which has a singularly unpleasant smell and can seem to linger forever, if not treated quickly. Whatever you do, never use an ammonia-based cleaner on a urine stain caused by a pet. as the smell will attract the animal back to that spot.

If the urine stain is fresh, you can usually treat it by just rinsing it thoroughly in cold water and then washing it as normal using a biological laundry detergent if possible (same as for vomit).

If the stain is older and dried, you will need to soak the garment overnight in a weak solution of hydrogen peroxide and water and then wash as mentioned above.

Carpets are a little more difficult, in that they cannot be soaked. However, you can treat the area immediately with soda water, which should minimize the staining. Once the excess urine has been blotted up, sponge the stain with salty water and then rinse and blot dry.

Again, sprinkling bicarbonate soda onto the stain and leaving for a while before vacuuming should combat any lingering odours.

Note that urine spraying in cats is a serious problem and aside from tackling the immediate stain, you will need to consult an animal behaviourist, and perhaps treat your cat with some pheromone therapy, else you will be fighting a losing battle with cat urine and odour.

For any other serious odours, a professional service like Bio Cleanse Pty Ltd is needed to take care of stubborn odours in a professional and specialized manner.
