Medical Conditions: Elderly people with diabetes may experience odor due to skin metabolites; elderly people with cerebrovascular diseases may experience odor due to accumulated metabolic waste caused by prolonged bed rest or limited mobility; elderly people with stomach ulcers may have a strong odor in their mouths; elderly people with upper respiratory tract infections may experience odor due to excessive phlegm caused by inflammation; elderly people with halitosis may have an odor in their exhaled breath; elderly people with oral ulcers may have an odor in their exhaled breath or expelled phlegm; elderly people with intractable skin diseases may experience odor due to skin metabolic products or skin ulcers; patients with bromhidrosis (body odor) may experience odor as the odor factor enters the air; elderly people with external injuries may experience odor due to inflammation and pus discharge.
Aging Odor/Elderly Odor: The source of aging odor is a component called nonenal. As we age, everyone's metabolism slows down, leading to the formation of fatty acids in the sebaceous glands, which can cause unpleasant odors.
Odors from the nursing bed and bedding: Nursing beds placed in the same location year-round create an environment conducive to bacterial growth, easily producing odors. Bacteria combine with nutrients that promote bacterial growth to produce odors; a warm, humid environment will intensify the smell.
Air quality factors: Clogged drains can cause stagnant air to rise and produce odors; cooking fumes from restaurants can also contribute.
Garbage factors: Uncollected garbage in the elderly person's room; moldy food stored in the room for a long time can produce a musty smell.
Odors from portable toilets: In the most serious cases, when a portable toilet must be placed next to the nursing bed, it becomes the biggest source of odor.
Odors from carpets, etc. Odors from carpets, etc., can be considered a combination of the aforementioned aging smells, elderly odors, and toilet odors, creating a nursing care odor.
Odors from curtains, sofas, and other fabric products have the same problem as carpets; the combination of aging smells, elderly odors, and toilet odors can contribute to nursing care odors.

Odor Prevention Measures

Prevention and Treatment of Specific Diseases: Treatment and prevention of diseases such as bromhidrosis, oral ulcers, gastric ulcers, skin diseases, and diabetic complications can effectively reduce odors produced by the elderly themselves.
Improving Air Quality: Disinfect bed surfaces and floors promptly with disinfectant spray or wipe, and ventilate afterwards; use air fresheners as needed; disinfect the room regularly each week to reduce the number of microorganisms; cover toilet seats to prevent the release of foul odors; use covered trash cans to prevent garbage odors from escaping; place mothballs in urinals in public restrooms to remove urine odors.
Timely Garbage Disposal: Dispose of all garbage in the room promptly; if an elderly person defecates in bed, seal and remove feces promptly; remove moldy food stored in the elderly person's room promptly; promptly dispose of food scraps after meals.
Hygiene of the Elderly and Caregivers: Regularly bathe the elderly to remove sweat and skin waste. Daily bathing is difficult for bedridden seniors. Bathing, from another perspective, is the most effective way to eliminate odor by thoroughly cleaning away the root causes of sweat, sebum, dirt, and bacteria. Not bathing easily leads to odor, which is considered a cause of odor in caregivers. For cleanliness, a bath is best; if this is difficult, a sponge bath can be used, followed by careful changing of clothes. Using baking soda water to wipe the body will make it feel fresher. If necessary, clean underwear and pajamas can be sprayed with deodorant and then dried before storage.

Provide good oral care for the elderly, including rinsing their mouths after meals. Caregivers should also maintain good personal hygiene, placing used shoes in the changing room. Change the elderly's clothes, sheets, and blankets promptly.
Create an environment where bacteria cannot multiply, thus reducing odor. For example, air out bedding, flip mattresses, and change sheets, pillowcases, etc. Similarly, if needed, spare nursing beds and bedding can be sprayed with a deodorizer and then dried before storage.
For portable toilet deodorization, simply put, it's about creating a completely sealed enclosure. First and foremost, it's about ensuring a completely sealed enclosure. If it's not sealed, odors will continue to develop. This refers not only to feces but also urine. Suppressing odors is essential, so cleaning the toilet must be thorough, and not only the toilet itself but also the surrounding area must be cleaned completely. Deodorizers can also be sprayed if necessary.
If you can't go to the toilet in time and incontinence occurs on the carpet, thoroughly absorb the water and wipe repeatedly with a baking soda spray. Finally, use a deodorizer to disinfect and deodorize.
Regularly disinfect and deodorize curtains, sofas, and other similar items.
Use a deodorizing and sterilizing machine that can be used by people and avoids secondary pollution. This effectively removes various odors and disinfects. We recommend Tan Yue Technology's "Tan Yue" odor control and sterilization machines. The H6 wall-mounted deodorizing and sterilizing machine can be wall-mounted, while the H1000D duct-type deodorizing and sterilizing machine can be duct-type installed.
