The Cruise Ship Odors That Affect Staff and Guest Areas
Cruise ships are like moving hotels, with high guest turnover and a huge volume of passengers at any given time. Couple that with the frequent stops ships make and the influx of elements inadvertently smuggled on board every time passengers come back from a day’s activity, and the potential for odor issues can become nightmarish -- especially since the high guest turnover causes odors to be stacked upon one another if left untreated.
People smoke out on the balcony, they vomit everywhere, they keep food in the room for too long, etc. Readying rooms for the next round of passengers can pose numerous difficulties since the source of cruise ship odors can be so varied, depending on the location ships visit and on what guests bring with them on board in the first place. In addition, since a cruise ship is a boat, after all, there are countless marine-based odors that invade the crew areas: bilge, gasoline, mildew, smoke, etc.
Introducing the Room Shocker™ ClO2 Odor Eliminator*
For the ship’s living quarters, air fresheners just won’t get the job done on the toughest odors -- they liquid-based and can only be applied to the surfaces of objects, and are only designed to mask odors instead of removing them. Biocide Systems’ Room Shocker™ ClO2 Odor Eliminator, on the other hand, is a gas, so it can penetrate deep into every nook and cranny within an enclosed space. Since it is comprised of the positively charged chlorine dioxide gas, it naturally attracts odors, which are negatively charged, and eliminates them instead of just masking them.
Also: The Marine Shocker™ ClO2 Odor Eliminator*
For those tricky crew-based areas of the ship affected by a different set of smells, the Marine Shocker™ ClO2 Odor Eliminator is recommended. Like the Room Shocker™, the Marine Shocker™ uses Biocide Systems’ patented chlorine dioxide formula to remove odors within areas like engine rooms and storage rooms that hold musty life jackets and other objects that have seen its share of sea action.
The Biocide Systems Guarantee
In addition to the Room Shocker™ being non-toxic and eco-friendly (and made in the USA), we guarantee its success or your money back.
