Walking into a restroom and being overwhelmed by a scent is unpleasant – even if the scent is designed to keep bad odors at bay. Unfortunately, many cleaning teams go too far in their quest to keep restrooms smelling fresh, and they end up overwhelming the space with fragrances. Mixing and matching scents is a cardinal sin because it can lead to conflicting fragrances that overpower, clash and leave restroom visitors wondering what they’re smelling.
Heavy fragrances also make visitors question if a cleaning team is trying too hard to cover up a bad odor. Too many fragrances can even make patrons wonder if the facility suffers from a serious lack of cleaning.
Choosing one type of fragrance is the ideal way to handle odor control, and streamlining scents by using air sanitizer sprays, metered dispensers and deodorant blocks will keep your restrooms smelling fresh without overpowering visitors.
So which scent should you choose? Start by taking a look at your current inventory. Have you been using the same scents for years? Do the different scents mix well together?
The heavy fragrances of years past are too much for many olfactory senses. These heavy scents carry a connotation of covering something up instead of making your restrooms feel fresh and clean. Scents like pine and those with musky, spicy touches were very popular about a decade ago, but they have since been replaced by lighter, fresher fragrances.
Go for neutral, light scents, like fresh linen, rainforest, melon or cucumber. These aromas appeal to both women and men, and they are light enough to hint at freshness without overpowering the senses.
Stay away from scents that are too strong or too sweet. These fragrances can set off people’s sinuses and allergies. Instead, look for scents that you don’t really notice. The focus should be on the cleanliness of your restrooms, not the scent.
