How to Choose a Bathroom Air Freshener
3 min read
Air fresheners for bathrooms are a great way to remove bad odours and bring in good scents. Gels and beads that keep releasing scent all the time or oil-infused reed diffusers that catch and exhale smell at regular intervals are also available.
Be sure to never disguise smells with fragrances that cover it up — use products that do not leave them behind and are manageable and safe for use in business.
Choosing the Right Scent
Bathroom cleaning isn’t all about cleaning; it also can include selecting an air freshener that sips on the right notes to help make your bathroom inviting and friendly. Depending on what scent you prefer and who is going to be in your bathroom, there are different scents.
And there is more lavender, which the guests are soothed by its smell. Furthermore, lavender is antibacterial and makes it a very welcoming place.
Cucumber has a cool, refreshing smell to remove odours and leave the room fresh and clean – perfect for restaurant bathrooms or corporate restrooms.
There’s nothing that breathes better than eucalyptus, and it is the perfect plant to add to a spa or gym to feel fresh after a workout. Besides, its scent goes well with most bathroom styles.
Application Method
Bathroom air fresheners don’t only sometimes have a fragrance ingredient, many also have deodorisers that either trap or chemically alter their source – mold or mildew spores can be destroyed through deodorisation.
Spray or gel fragrances can be applied to the air and disseminated by either hand or automatic toilet dispensers. Filling dispensers regularly keeps dispensers functional and provides occupants with a fragrance they like.
When spraying air fresheners, be sure to spray towards the center of the room and not over any surface because you don’t have to waste product by spraying on a surface that has already been scented with it. Sensor activated types of automatic releases spread your scent uniformly in your bathroom and mitigate excess overspray, which can be disruptive to users and leave them thinking the facility is smelly.
Safety Concerns
Air fresheners give your bathroom a fresh smell and remove foul odours so you have a handy option for places where you are infrequently. Some might be worried about the health risks from exposure to air contaminants such as phthalates in frequent amounts.
When a 2007 National Resource Defense Council (NRDC) study showed that most “unscented and all natural” air fresheners contained large amounts of phthalates – chemicals associated with developmental and reproductive dysfunction in children – because fragrances are made from terpenes, which react with air pollution to produce formaldehyde. The finding triggered a flurry of air freshener emissions debate.
The other risks from air fresheners include skin irritation, allergies and asthma in irritable people. Not only that, but they can contain dangerous chemicals like parabens and phenols, both of which are known to cause cancer and disrupt hormones – further hazards particularly for homes with children or animals.
Refillability
Bathroom air fresheners work by neutralizing bad smells and resulting in a scent that smells great and allows you to enjoy the privacy of your bathroom. Air fresheners can do the trick in the short term, but they are never an end all. But use them only as part of a wider hygiene and ventilation plan for bathroom surfaces – as an adjunct – not as a stand-in for them.
Inflatable options allow staff to track the total fragrance released, and are cheap and eco-friendly. Easily programmable dispensers can emit odour automatically to prevent wasting scent or allow managers to schedule when fresheners are activated.
