Everyone has walked into a business at one time or another and smelled something “not quite right.” Whether it was an unpleasant odor from the restroom, an overpowering cooking smell in the kitchen or even a moldy scent from dirty carpets, a business owner has to keep on top of disturbing smells that might chase away business.
Discretion, please. Business owners don't want customers to see mouse traps and ant poison lying around, so it goes without saying that they shouldn't want to advertise air fresheners, either.

The point is to make the scent pleasant and notable without necessarily being noticeable.
Take action. If odors are a problem, invest in a high quality odor neutralizer. These work to eliminate nasty odors, not just cover up their scent. A top-notch product will be able to completely get rid of unpleasant smells in locker rooms, smoking spaces, garbage areas, bathrooms and kitchens with ease.
