ProtoxAbScent - How to use
ProtoxAbScent Odour Neutraliser works by releasing chlorine dioxide when it comes into contact with water vapor in the air- Chlorine dioxide degrades the odour particles by oxidation.
During particularly dry periods (typically in dry winter periods) it may be necessary to assist the activation. This can be done by placing the ProtoxAbScent sachet close to a cloth / towel wrung with water (eg. in a bowl or bucket). The evaporation from the cloth will activate the bag.
ProtoxAbScent does not contain perfumes and leaves no chemicals in the room after use.
Residual odour
ProtoxAbScent is intended to remove residual odour. Always try to remove the source of odour if possible (dead animals, sooty wood, animal excrement, etc.) before treatment with ProtoxAbScent. If there are massive odour problems, it will be an advantage to first clean and / or spray mist with ProtoxHysan.
How to use
The ProtoxAbScent sachet are supplied sealed in an aluminum foil bag. When put into service, cut the top of the outer aluminum foil bag and remove the inner vacuum-packed plastic sachet. This sachet is also opened so that the inner white ProtoxAbScent sachet can be removed. The bag is placed on a bowl or similar in the highest possible place in the room or hung up under the ceiling. This achieves the best effect, since the active substance is best mixed with the room air from a high location.
The ProtoxAbScent sachet should never be placed directly on a table, shelf, fabric or near metal, as they will cause bleaching or corrosion!
