Have you noticed washroom odours becoming more noticeable as temperatures rise?
You’re not imagining it.
Even in facilities with consistent cleaning schedules and high hygiene standards, warmer weather can create the perfect conditions for odours to develop more quickly and linger for longer.
The reason is simple: heat accelerates bacterial activity.
As bacteria break down organic residues such as urine and waste, they release gases that create unpleasant odours. Higher temperatures and increased humidity encourage this process, which is why washrooms often seem less fresh during the summer months.
Many organisations rely on ventilation systems or fragrance dispensers to tackle the problem. While these solutions can help improve the environment, they don’t address the source of the odour.
🔹 Ventilation helps circulate air but does not eliminate odour-causing microorganisms.
🔹 Fragrances can temporarily mask smells, but they don’t remove the bacteria responsible for them.
The most effective odour management strategies focus on the cause rather than the symptom.
By targeting airborne bacteria and odour-causing compounds, continuous air treatment technologies can help maintain fresher, cleaner air throughout the day while supporting a more pleasant washroom experience for staff, visitors and customers alike.
At Absolute Hygiene Solutions, we believe washroom hygiene is about more than appearance it’s about creating healthier, more comfortable environments that leave a positive and lasting impression.
