There can be many causes of bad odours in the home, such as smoke, mould, dead animals, urine, excrement or the smell of old basements and attics. The cause of bad odours is often hidden and can be difficult to identify. It could be mould in the wall or a dead animal hiding behind a panel.

The first step is always to identify and remove the source of the bad odour if possible. If odours persist and ventilation is not sufficient, the room can be sanitised with products that effectively break down residual odours. PROTOX anti-odour products do not contain perfume or other odorous substances.
