High quality – cost effective solutions
March 09th 2006

Branova has had remarkable successes throughout the last five years, becoming an industry leader for manufacturing innovative cleaning solutions and competing globally with larger companies.Founded in 2000, Branova has the unique blend of being both a new and dynamic company, whilst having a wealth of experience through parent company, Branta Group, formed in 1929.

Instead of approaching cleaning problems with the usual chemical products, Branova has used sophisticated science to produce highquality but cost-effective solutions which are available through distributors alone.

A good example of Branova’s products is the remarkable Zybax OdourMaster. OdourMaster is a revolutionary, environment-friendly cleaning-fluid which safely and permanently eliminates urine-odours.

While conventional cleaning products may leave the surface clean, Zybax OdourMaster uses ‘friendly’ bacteria, which penetrate deep beneath the surface to remove the cause of unpleasant smells at source.

OdourMaster, which recently won a British Toilet Association 2004 Innovation Award, is a versatile product which can be used for cleaning many surfaces, including carpeted and hard floors, and upholstery. Containing no harmful chemicals, it is totally environment-friendly and, unlike other cleaning-products, is non- COSHH regulated. However, what really sets OdourMaster apart is its ability to eradicate urine and other odours.

When you get a spillage of urine, it soaks into flooring and other surfaces, and can penetrate deep into the floor beneath, beyond the reach of machines or ‘normal’ cleaning-products. Once there, the urine becomes a food-source for naturally-occurring bacteria, and decomposition takes place. The problem is that, during this process, ammonia gas is released, and it is normally this, rather than the urine itself, which gives that familiar foul-smelling, acrid smell.

With other products, the best you can hope to achieve is to remove the immediate smell of the ‘new’ urine by cleaning the surface, and then to mask the residual odour with fragrance. OdourMaster, on the other hand, gets Nature to work for you and gets right to the heart of the problem. It contains carefully-selected, friendly, non-toxic, nonpathogenic bacteria (about 60 million per millilitre) which search out the urine and start feeding on it. Very soon, they start to dominate their environment, ousting the natural bacteria. You still get decomposition but, with OdourMaster, you get a very controlled breakdown with no release of ammonia and no smell – permanently.
