HOW TO COME UP SMELLING LIKE A ROSE Can you imagine a more objectionable odor than that of skunk secretions mixed with putrefied shrimp and fish? This concoction is used to demonstrate the effectiveness of BIO-CLEAN®, a new detergent-deodorizer. It not only completely negates this skunk-fish odor instantly, it works equally well on thousands of hospital and other odors of natural organic origin. Jefferson worked closely with Stanbio Laboratory, Inc. in arriving at optimum amounts and types of SURFONIC® surface-active agents, and other Jefferson chemicals to be used in the BIO-CLEAN formula. O D T © (a Stanbio odor control product) is the principal odor eliminating ingredient although our SURFONIC surfaceactive agent does have a contributing biocidal effect. Actually, BIO-CLEAN, with its larger amounts of active surfactants, is a superior cleaner, and the fact that it completely eliminates odors (rather than masks them) is a big plus factor. BIO-CLEAN is currently used primarily in hospitals, veterinary offices, animal rooms, and institutional facilities. If you want to know more about BIO-CLEAN, write Stanbio Laboratory, Inc., P.O. Box 388, Hallettsville, Texas. But, if you want effective technical cooperation in developing your "problem-solving" chemicals, write Jefferson Chemical Company, Inc., P.O. Box 53300, Houston, Texas 77052.
