Which perfume should I choose depending on the location?
Choosing a fragrance requires careful consideration of the location and the type of traffic within the community or business. Whether the space is a gym, a waiting room, or a busy restroom, the chosen fragrance will be radically different. Below is a summary table outlining fragrances and their potential target audiences.
| Olfactory family | Perfumes from the selection | Recommended places |

| Gourmand | Vanilla cinnamon, caramel | Reception, hospitality, relaxation areas |
| Wooded | Fig wood | Executive offices, showrooms |
How to use a super-odorant?
- Clean and disinfect the area first: an over-odorant does not permanently mask an odor whose source is still there.
- Spray 5 to 10 times along the baseboards, behind doors or under sinks, depending on the surface and the desired intensity.
- Avoid textiles, carpets and fragile surfaces.
- Renew once a day. In high-traffic areas, add an automatic fragrance diffuser for a continuous effect.
Where to use a professional deodorant?
Public and company restrooms, building lobbies, elevators, stairwells, garbage rooms, changing rooms, gyms, hotels, restaurants, nursing homes, medical offices, schools, and transport vehicles. For cleaning companies, it's the finishing touch that enhances the service for the client.
What is the difference between a super-odorant and a deodorizer?
The air freshener perfumes the air for a few minutes; the super-odorizer is applied to surfaces and diffuses its fragrance for hours thanks to its strong residual effect.
How long does a super-odorant last?
One application per day is enough to perfume a room for a long time; the duration depends on the perfume, the surface treated and the ventilation.
Can an air freshener replace disinfection?
No. It complements cleaning and disinfection. For a persistent odor, use an odor eliminator first. In all cases, the deodorizer only addresses the olfactory aspect. There are also disinfectant detergents with deodorizing properties. Our wide range of professional deodorizing cleaners is available in several fragrances, sold in single-dose units or in bulk 5-liter containers.
Can you use a super-odorant in the toilet?
