    Sure, It LOOKS Clean, But How Does It SMELL?
    HDi Picture of Restroom

    Smell has a very powerful link to the emotional regions of the brain more directly than other senses. A pleasant odor can signal great memories while malodors can be quite offensive, leaving you with a negative perception of your surroundings. Smelling clean is as important as being clean!

    On the other hand, too many competing scents can be overwhelming to the senses. Coordinating scents is important! Like pairing our Citrus Mango Solid Air Fresheners with our Mango Urinal Screens.
    We also have options for you to carry the same scent throughout your facility!
