Improve air quality & odour at day care centres

Day care centres often get complaints about the smell emanating from the rooms of the facility and, therefore, about the perceived lack of hygiene. Flowerdoctor has developed a special assortment of essential oils to counteract these complaints. In the past years, several pilot tests have been conducted at day care centres with essential oil diffusers and these special oils. We are delighted to report that these test results have been very successful. The parents of children attending the day care centres under study were pleasantly surprised by the lovely, clean scent. And the staff claimed that they truly appreciate using the diffusers and that the rooms smell much fresher and more agreeable all around. These day care centres are still using the child-friendly Flowerdoctor products to their complete satisfaction.

Effects from using aroma diffusers

An aroma diffuser creates a very fine water damp that divides the essential oil into millions of micro particles. This aroma mist is so thin and light that it spreads quickly throughout a room.
 

• The aroma diffuser creates a fresh scent, which is pleasant for both staff and children alike. Perceived hygiene is also improved, which is especially important to parents.
• Essential oils can have a positive effect on the state of mind as well. An oil can create a relaxed atmosphere, cheer you up, help relieve stress or calm down lively children.
• Hygiene is improved. Essential oils help kill bacteria and germs that are present in the air (i.e. airborne particulates).
• Air quality is improved through ionisation (less dust in the air) and humidification of the air.
• Resistance to colds and flu is stronger when the immune system is stimulated, which is another important by-product and benefit of using essential oils.

TESTIMONIALS

In day care bad smells play an unpleasant role. Especially when the changing rooms are open, there can be a nasty smell after changing diapers. This smell has a direct effect on the perceived hygiene. This may lead parents to believe that their children have spent the day in a smelly environment instead of in the desired pleasant and fresh atmosphere.To prevent this we have been looking for a means to alleviate this unpleasant odour.

Since we are using aroma diffusers and essential oils the air quality has been greatly improved. Even after changing diapers it still smells fresh in the common room. At the day care centre where there were many complaints about the smell, the discovery of these diffusers and oils was really a relief. The parents’ reactions are very positive; they were pleasantly surprised by the nice smell.

The pedagogic employees are also very enthusiastic about the use of these diffusers. Some of the reactions of our pedagogic employees are:

“I wish this would have been on the market much sooner. I worked in day care for years now and this really is the solution we have been looking for, for a long time. The scent is really very pleasant, not too dominant yet still very fresh.”

“I am really pleased with it, we use the diffuser three times a day in the common room. In the changing room we have the diffuser with motion sensor and that works really good as well.”

“Really delightful. When it smells bad we turn the diffuser on and the stink goes away immediately.”
