Selecting the best deodorizer to use in your portable restroom or restroom trailer holding tank is crucial. You service your units regularly to create a superior impression, but deodorizer is the agent that works around the clock to preserve that environment. Keep reading to discover which deodorizer will set you apart from the competition.<\/h2>\n

Know your options<\/h3>\n

There are many types of deodorizer from which you can choose: liquid or pre-portioned drop-in, different chemistries (formaldehyde-based, formaldehyde-free, or natural), and various formula strengths. Many factors influence your decision: usage, climate, frequency of service, and even personal preference.<\/p>\n

Traditional liquid or pre-portioned drop-in?<\/h3>\n

There are different benefits to liquid deodorizers and portion-control drop-ins, so choosing between them is often a matter of preference. The packets remove the guesswork from adding deodorizer because no measuring is required. And while containers like the Walex EZ-Squeeze Bottles allow greater accuracy when using liquids, you\u2019re still less likely to spill or overuse a drop-in packet.<\/p>\n

One advantage of liquids, however, is the variety offered. Walex portion control drop-in packets are available in three strengths: Porta-Pak Max, Porta-Pak, and Porta-Pak Express, while Walex liquid deodorizer is available in nine varieties\u2014three formaldehyde options and six formaldehyde-free choices. Liquids can also be made in any of Walex\u2019s 24 fragrances, whereas packets only come in certain fragrances.<\/p>\n

Formaldehyde-free or Formaldehyde-based?<\/h3>\n

Liquid deodorizers are available in two chemistries: formaldehyde-based and formaldehyde-free. Walex\u2019s line of liquid deodorizers includes three formaldehyde-based products (PT-615, PT-600, and PT-60 Pre-Mix) and six formaldehyde-free products (PT-50 Supreme, Endure, Advantage, Contender, PT-500, and Pre-Mix).<\/p>\n

In our industry\u2019s early days, formaldehyde was the main odor-eliminating ingredient in deodorizers. However, some states have since banned formaldehyde, so Walex\u2019s research and development team created equally effective formaldehyde-free deodorizers.<\/p>\n

Formaldehyde-free products control odors for a longer period of time. If you tested the products side by side, formaldehyde would be more effective initially, emitting a powerful chemical odor. But because it is gas, it will evaporate after three to six days, depending on temperatures. The formaldehyde-free products continue providing odor control longer using the modern technology developed by Walex R&D chemists, and they\u2019re safer to use.<\/p>\n

What strength of product do you need?<\/h3>\n

The final decision you must make is the product concentration to order, which depends on your climate, usage, and frequency of service.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re in a hot climate or your units get heavy usage, the best drop-in is Porta-Pak MAX, a potent formula with 50% more dye, 50% more odor control, and double the fragrance of the original Porta-Pak. Your best liquid options are PT-50 Supreme, Endure, PT-615, or PT-600.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re in a warm climate or your units get moderate usage, choose Porta-Pak for your drop-in or Advantage or Contender for your liquid.<\/p>\n

During the cold winter months, you could switch your drop-in to Porta-Pak Express, a smaller dose of formula. You can stick with Contender for your liquid or choose a ready-to-use product like PT-500.<\/p>\n

Porta-Pak Express is also an economical option for outdoor events where units get heavy usage but are serviced daily.<\/p>\n

When in doubt, opt for a more concentrated formula. The benefits of investing in odor control far outweigh the relatively small cost increases.<\/p>\n
