One product we have recently started implementing across a number of client sites is OdorBac Tec4 — and the feedback so far has been extremely positive. ## What is OdorBac Tec4? OdorBac Tec4 is a concentrated, multi-purpose cleaner and odour eliminator designed for commercial environments. What makes it stand out is that it is designed to destroy odour compounds at source, rather than simply masking smells with fragrance. It is a practical product for sites where hygiene, presentation and freshness all matter. ## Why it has been useful for our clients One of the biggest challenges on many sites is not always visible dirt — it is lingering odours in washrooms, carpets, soft furnishings, drains and high-traffic areas. In busy working environments, those issues can quickly affect how clean a building feels, even when it has been regularly cleaned. This is where OdorBac Tec4 has proved particularly useful. It has helped our teams deal with odour-related issues more effectively and improve the overall feel of cleaned spaces. For our teams, it has helped in three main ways: **First, it improves odour control.** Rather than covering up smells temporarily, it helps deal with the cause of the problem. That makes a noticeable difference in washrooms, entrance areas, shared spaces and other environments where odours can build up over time. **Second, it is versatile.** OdorBac Tec4 can be used on hard surfaces, carpets, soft furnishings and drains, and can be applied in different ways depending on the environment. That flexibility makes it easier for our teams to use the right product in multiple situations without overcomplicating the cleaning cupboard. **Third, it supports simpler and safer product management.** Because it is a concentrate, it can help reduce the number of separate chemicals needed on site. That can support easier COSHH management, reduce waste and improve consistency in day-to-day cleaning delivery. ## A smarter approach to cleaning At ICS, we are not interested in using products just because they sound new or different. We use them when they genuinely improve service delivery. What we like about OdorBac Tec4 is that it supports: - better outcomes for clients - practical benefits for frontline teams - fewer unnecessary products on site - a more efficient cleaning process - consistent results across a variety of site types It is particularly well suited to environments such as schools, healthcare settings, leisure facilities, washrooms, communal areas and commercial buildings, where hygiene, presentation and odour control all matter. ## Positive early feedback Since beginning to roll OdorBac Tec4 out across selected client sites, the feedback we have received has been very encouraging. Clients have commented positively on the freshness of cleaned areas, and our teams have found it to be a useful addition in sites where odour control has historically been a challenge. For us, that is what matters most. Good cleaning is not just about appearances — it is about creating environments that feel cleaner, fresher and better managed for everyone using them. ## Continuous improvement in practice Introducing products like OdorBac Tec4 is part of our wider commitment to continuous improvement. We regularly review cleaning methods, equipment, chemicals and site feedback to make sure we are delivering the best possible service for each client. There is no one-size-fits-all solution in commercial cleaning, but when we find a product that genuinely helps improve standards, efficiency and client satisfaction, we believe it is worth sharing. At ICS Cleaning, that is exactly what this latest rollout is about: using better tools to deliver better outcomes. ## Better cleaning outcomes? ICS Cleaning continuously reviews cleaning methods, equipment and products to improve service delivery for our clients. We use practical innovations like OdorBac Tec4 where they genuinely improve standards and efficiency.
