FABULOUS FIND

Ever wonder how certain carpets, cushions and rugs can fight off –– actually prevent and eliminate –– odors? FABULOUS FLOORS found that it’s technologies like Fabri-Zyme.

Fabri-Zyme’s patented odor-destroying system is called Odor-Ace™. You’ll find Odor-Ace™ patented products marketed under brand names such as Odor-Eaters™, STAINMASTER™ carpet cushion and Arm & Hammer® carpet cushion.

Fabri-Zyme provides cushion with a special moisture barrier on the surface which prevents “accidents” from saturating the cushion, causing potential damage to the sub-floor. It also gives you time to blot moisture back through the carpet. Either on cushion or in specially manufactured carpet, a spill’s moisture is what activates Fabri-Zyme’s enzymes to consume and eliminate common household organic materials. They are what eventually cause those objectionable odors... things such as milk, wine, juice, pet and baby accidents. Enzymes work for the life of your cushion.

Topical spray versions also help remove stains caused by a spill. Though best if used in conjunction with carpet and cushion treated with Fabri-Zyme, topical application consumes and eliminates organic matter in the carpet and leaves no residue.

It’s safe! The Fabri-Zyme technology has been tested and proven safe for people and pets. Look for more applications of this technology on other flooring products in the months ahead. For more information, visit www.fabri-zyme.com.
