With these products, it is sometimes possible to eliminate odors before they are even detectable which, of course, is preferable.
For example, for organic materials such as urine, feces, and vomit, as mentioned earlier, the first step is always to clean them up. Having done that, you can handle any lingering odors with odor counteractants. Similarly, in a resident room or any area where ostomy care is given, if there are issues of cleanliness and contamination, those must be dealt with first, followed by odor counteraction. There are several different compounds used to produce odor pairs-for example citrus, pine, and other formulations.
These products are also well suited for controlling kitchen and bathroom odors. In fact, generally speaking, the odor counterac-tants are best suited for controlling any malodors in the air. The odor-elimination products, on the other hand, may be required in places where malodors might have penetrated, such as curtains, carpeting, and furniture either upholstered or not.
These products are designed to penetrate the surface and actually chemically alter the malodorous materials, hence stopping them from smelling bad. How can I get him to clean himself?

As people age, they have a harder time keeping their homes clean — often for good reason, says Barbara Moscowitz, director of Geriatric Social Work at Massachusetts General Hospital.
Because of the risk of dizziness and falling, older adults are often told by their doctors not to bend down, not to climb up on chairs or ladders, not to kneel or stoop. And how are you going to keep a house clean without being able to do those things? We think nothing of throwing a load of clothes in the wash whenever we need to, but that changes as we get older, experts say.
Of course, laundry issues related to incontinence are also common, experts say. And they may not notice a small amount of leakage, which can have a big smell. Loss of vision is another contributing factor, says Barbara Moscowitz. As we age, the tissues of the mouth produce less saliva, which is why dry mouth is a common affliction of old age.
Snoring and mouth breathing while sleeping are also more common as we age, drying out the tissues of the mouth even more. Denture wearers are also more likely to a musty odor that comes from fungal infections of the mouth.
Digestive issues, such as acid reflux and GERD, which are increasingly common as we age, contribute to bad breath through stomach odors coming up into the mouth. We then removed the entire broadloom and under pad. We cleaned the cement floor with a special cement-cleaning product before installation of the new under pad and broadloom.
Unfortunately, even after we completed all this, the odor was still there. Cleaning, painting and installing new broadloom throughout had still not solved the air quality issues we were facing. The furnace and ventilation systems were a major concern. How could we clean and solve the areas we could not physically access? Along came The Boss. I had heard about the hydroxyl technology from a friend. Clearly, no matter how much we cleaned, scrubbed, painted or replaced, there was no way that anyone could reside here unless all the odor and bacteria were totally removed.
The Boss, a non-contained Hydroxyl Generator is easy to use and quiet. We ran the unit with and without the air conditioner on as we wanted the air going through the vents to eliminate the odor and bacteria there as well. We ran The Boss for a period of two to three days on each level of the three level condominium apartment.
The Boss was miraculously successful in solving our air quality problem. The condominium apartment not only looked clean but also felt and smelled clean. It was evident that even though we scrubbed, painted and replaced all the old flooring, without the help of The Boss, we would have never been able to achieve the level of clean air quality we required.
The odor and bacteria were all eliminated.
