Dr. Phillip Tierno, director of Clinical Microbiology and Immunology at NYU, states that your carpets and fabricsmay contain 200 000 bacteria per square inch—which would make it 4,000 times dirtier than a toilet seat. Dr. Tierno also warns, “hundreds of thousands of bacterial species live in carpets, including E. coli, salmonella, staphylococcus and more.”

Carpet absorbs and holds moisture, making it a prime spot for biological pollutants, like mould to grow. Mould, mildew, bacteria, fungi, yeasts – visible and or invisible, beneficial and deadly are always present. If you smell a musty odour, then they are definitely present.

Odour Science removes odours and kills germs faster than any other products in the market, and does it with just one application. The active ingredient in most air fresheners temporarily combine with odours to add a pleasant smell, but break down with time or moisture.

The active ingredient chlorine dioxide chemically changes the odour to neutralise it completely.
