Premium deodorising additive Hydrocide is an odour counteractant. It contains an odour neutraliser that binds to and absorbs odours no matter what the source. It can handle odours from humans, animals, food, chemical processes, and smoke. Use Hydrocide with Water Claw to treat severe urine contamination or just add it to your pre-spray to treat areas of concern prior to cleaning. Hydrocide works immediately, making your cleaning job more pleasant. It works without the pungent chemical odour associated with some counteractants, and without leaving a re-soiling residue. As a bonus, Hydrocide contains a polymer in the formula that helps to slow the re-soiling of the treated area. Product Features: Eliminates odour on contact Neutralises odour rather than masking it Treats odours in carpet, upholstery, mattresses, and grout Works on urine, vomit, decay, skunk, and much more No additives needed No oxidisers No enzymes No bacteria No chemical desensitisers Non-toxic Dilution Ratios: 30-60ml/Ltr RTU pH: 6.5 Contains: 3.78ltr Choosing the right odour product Odour work fails when the wrong class of product is used, not usually when the right one is used badly. Bridgepoint’s range splits three ways. Class What it does Use when Fragranced deodorisers Cover the odour while deodorising agents work on the source General freshening after cleaning, light malodour Hydrocide counteractants Bind to and absorb odour molecules rather than masking them The source has been removed but odour remains Bio-Modifier Xtreme and enzymes Bacteria digest the organic source material itself Contamination is still present — urine, vomit, organic rot The order matters. Remove or extract the contamination first, treat what remains with a digester if the source is organic, then counteract residual odour. Reaching for a fragranced deodoriser over live contamination buys you a day. What odour treatment can and cannot do Odour control is only as durable as the source removal that precedes it. Where contaminated material remains in place — in underlay, subfloor timber or a wall cavity — odour can return as humidity and temperature change, because the source is still there to release it. That is not a failure of the product. It is why urine work on aged contamination often needs the pad lifted or the subfloor sealed, and why a job quoted as a spray-and-go will come back. Frequently asked questions Will this stop the odour coming back? Only if the source has gone. A counteractant or digester deals with what is present; it cannot treat contamination sitting in underlay or subfloor that you have not reached. On aged urine work, plan on lifting the pad. Can I add it to my pre-spray? The fragranced deodorisers and Hydrocide are designed to be added to cleaning solution or used as a direct spray. Bacterial and enzyme products are different — they need dwell time to digest the source, so applying them in a pre-spray that is extracted minutes later wastes the product. Does fragrance count as deodorising? No, and it is worth being clear with customers about the difference. Fragrance covers; a counteractant binds the odour molecule; a digester consumes the source. All three have a place, but a fragrance over live contamination is a complaint waiting to happen. Is the documentation Australian?
