Principles of Eliminating Odors

Janitorial Supplies Michigan Tennessee Wisconsin – Amerisource Industrial Supply  Odor Control Process There are many causes of odors, urine, floods, fires, garbage, grease, waste but each can be eliminated by following some simple steps.  Some may think that their odor problem is unique which you have never encountered.  Regardless their odor problems can be solved by following the basic 4 procedures listed below. Reduce or eliminate the source of the odor.  It would be a tremendous waste to try and cover up odors while leaving the cause in place.   The first step is to remove the contaminant that is causing the odor by destroying, killing, removing or cleaning the contaminant from the area.  Don’t deodorize unless you find and eliminate the source.  In some instances, source reduction or elimination are too costly and you may have to cover up the odor until there is sufficient budget to remove the source i.e. repair a drain. Clean the surface that was in contact with the contaminant.  Cleaning goes hand in hand with deodorizing.  Clean and dry surfaces do not product odors.  Residue from a fire will contaminate surrounding surfaces and until cleaned will liberate fire odors until removed.  Cleaning must be meticulous as in the case of protein contamination in a freezer.  Small amounts of protein residue can create significant odors. Further, contamination reduces the effect of cleaning chemicals which will prolong and make the cleaning process more difficult. Neutralize the Odor.  For example if a flood has caused the fowl odor then you must deodorize to the extent the flood affected all surrounding surfaces.  As in a fire you must deodorize by using deodorizing smoke like Ozone so your efforts impact all the surfaces affected by the smoke [...]

Janitorial and Facility Supplies Michigan – Floating Degreaser

Janitorial and Facility Supplies – Amerisource Industrial Supply PURE EZ LIFT FLOATING DEGREASER 5G Keeps lift station surfaces free of grease. As waste water levels rise and fall, heavy grease deposits are deposited on lift station walls. It coats the walls and surfaces of the lift station to remove heavy grease accumulations quickly and safely. The special non-emulsifying formula floats on the surface of the water, so it continues to remove deposits as the water level changes. Contains a soybean oil derivative which does not evaporate as fast as other solvents, so it remains on the surface of wastewater longer to penetrate fats, grease and dirt and strip them away from surfaces. Will not disrupt the natural biological digestion of bacteria in the lift station. Please view a demonstration video
