Hygiene in Care Facilities – The Solution Against Organic Soiling

In nursing homes, hospitals, or home care, organic contamination such as urine, stool, or vomit is not uncommon. If urine gets onto care mattresses or upholstery, a penetrating odor quickly develops without thorough cleaning and is hard to remove. Incotral by dipure® was developed for exactly these situations: Incotral is a specialized cleaning concentrate that breaks down organic residues and sustainably removes unpleasant odors rather than masking them.

What makes Incotral unique?

Microorganisms break down odors: The formula contains natural microorganisms that biologically break down odor-causing substances. This allows Incotral to neutralize odors for up to 48 hours and prevent their return. Unlike many conventional cleaners that only mask odors, the causes are fully broken down.
Specifically for organic contamination: Incotral powerfully removes dirt from urine, feces, and vomit - typical contamination in care and therapy areas. It is therefore ideal for care beds, mattresses, wheelchairs, upholstered furniture, and other odor-absorbing surfaces.
No aggressive chemicals: The microorganisms work naturally. The formula is dermatologically tested and skin-friendly.
Flexible to use: The concentrate can be used neat or diluted up to 1:5. It is suitable for spraying, wiping, or soaking; for heavy contamination, the affected textile can be soaked overnight in a 10% solution.

Why hygiene in care areas is so important

A clean environment protects people in care and staff from infections. Skin and surfaces are home to countless bacteria. Especially in nursing homes and clinics, where people with weaker immune systems are cared for, urine or stool accidents must be removed carefully, otherwise germs and odors remain. A good hygiene strategy includes:

Hand hygiene: Regular hand washing with soap (at least 20 seconds) and disinfectant if needed reduce the germ count.
Cleaning and disinfection: Frequently touched surfaces like bedside tables, remote controls, and sanitary areas should be cleaned regularly and disinfected when needed.
Clean textiles and protective clothing: Wash bedding and textiles at 60 °C and change immediately when they are soiled with urine or stool; disposable gloves and aprons protect against cross-contamination.

How Incotral supports you

Even with careful hygiene, in nursing homes or clinics it can quickly happen that furniture that cannot be easily washed, such as care beds, chairs, or mattresses, becomes contaminated with urine, stool, and sweat. If these residues are not completely removed, unpleasant odors settle in, which over time can become a serious problem and can even lead to social isolation of those in care. Conventional cleaners fail completely here.

This is where the odor-neutralizing cleaner Incotral comes in: When organic contamination occurs despite all hygiene measures, Incotral ensures that it is thoroughly and hygienically removed - without residue or odor. Its natural microorganisms break down organic substances like urine and feces biologically and sustainably remove the odor sources instead of simply masking them. So the product is especially suitable for care beds, mattresses, upholstered furniture, and other textile surfaces in care facilities, hospitals, or at home. Thanks to the skin-friendly, labeling-free formula, Incotral is also safe to use - ideal for caregivers who work daily with sensitive materials.

Conclusion

Organic contamination and the resulting odors are among the biggest challenges in care and therapy facilities. Incotral by dipure® is specialized in solving these problems sustainably: it cleans intensively, biologically breaks down odor-causing substances, and is gentle on users and the environment. It is an ideal replacement for all cleaning tasks between disinfections to handle cleaning and odor removal in one step - for the benefit of residents, patients, and care staff.
