Commercial odour control: from the bin room to the lobby
Our equipment neutralises odour at its source, 24/7, and beautifully fragrances the spaces important to you. Our licensed technicians take care of installing and servicing every machine.
Garbage Doctor: The Garbage Doctor is installed in the bin room, and destroys odours 24 hours a day, using ozone targeted at the source. The optional scent, a popular choice amongst building managers and residents, fragrances the garbage chute.
Odour Doctor: In a loading dock, the Odour Doctor targets the grease traps, and rubbish bins, compactors or other odour sources with ozone. The optional fragrance is also a great fit for these large spaces, particularly if there are odour sources in locations where the ozone cannot reach.
Scent Doctor: Multiple ways to discreetly deliver your fragrance choice to lobbies and other common areas.
Odour control and scenting for every part of your building
The Garbage Doctor, Odour Doctor and Scent Doctor are our family of brands to help building managers, stratas, residents and Australian businesses. We supply, install and service every machine with the same team, so you have one number to call for the whole building.
-
Bin rooms, garbage chutes, and compactors
Garbage Doctor®
The Garbage Doctor neutralises garbage odour at the source, 24/7, with UV ozone piped through PVC conduit targeting the bins and/or compactor. If you choose to add scenting, a light fragrance rises up the chute, with a small amount escaping through the chute access doors on every level. The Garbage Doctor machines are designed and built in Australia.
-
Loading docks, grease traps and commercial areas
Odour Doctor®
Loading docks gather odour from sources such as compactors, bins, food deliveries and grease traps. The Odour Doctor treats these tough commercial odours with ozone, for a clean, neutral smell, and can optionally add a scented vapour for a pleasant fragrance. Our Odour Doctor machines are designed and built in Australia.
-
Lobbies, foyers, lounges and common areas
Scent Doctor®
First impressions count, and scent is strongly linked to memory and emotion. The Scent Doctor fragrances lobbies, foyers and reception areas through your air conditioning, or from a discreet spot in the room. Where a space has a stubborn odour to treat, we may recommend an Odour Doctor or Garbage Doctor system as an alternative.

A solution for every part of your building
Click on a part of the building below, or its name, to see the system type we would generally recommend.
OdourOzoneScented vapourFragrance
Garbage chute
We recommend the Garbage Doctor Duo, made for a bin room with or without a garbage chute. The Duo's ozone neutralises the odour at the bins, before the air rises up the chute.
The Duo's scent tank sends a fine scented vapour into the side of the chute, so a fresh, subtle fragrance rises to every floor.
Bin room
We recommend the Garbage Doctor. PVC conduit along the wall, just above the bins, releases ozone over each bin, where the smell starts. The ozone neutralises the odour there, 24/7.
The size of the room and how many bins there are decide which model suits you.
Compactor room
We recommend the Garbage Doctor, and for a large compactor room, the high-output Garbage Doctor Ozone HD. The ozone goes into the compactor's hopper and over the bins nearby, where the odour starts.
Loading dock
We recommend the Odour Doctor. An Odour Doctor Ozone near the bins sends ozone through PVC conduit to each odour source, for a clean, neutral smell.
For a larger dock, where odour comes from several places, an Odour Doctor with a scent tank can add a light fragrance across the dock, while the ozone treats each odour source.
Grease trap
We recommend the Odour Doctor, mounted on the wall as close as possible to the grease arrestor. PVC pipework carries ozone to the air around the trap, where the ozone breaks the odour down and leaves a clean, neutral smell.
In many cases we recommend a light fragrance as well, and can (optionally) add scented vapour.
Lobby
We recommend the Scent Doctor, for a pleasant fragrance that welcomes residents and guests. Most often, the Scent Doctor is a slim tower in a discreet spot, such as beside a pot plant. The Scent Doctor can also be a small unit on the wall, or go through your ducted air conditioning's return line.
The Scent Doctor is made for fragrance. Where there's an odour to remove, we recommend an Odour Doctor or Garbage Doctor.
Owners' lounge
We recommend the Scent Doctor, for a pleasant fragrance that welcomes owners and their guests.
Most often, the Scent Doctor is a slim tower in a discreet spot, such as beside a pot plant, or we can disperse directly through your ducted air conditioning.
Gym
We recommend the Scent Doctor, for a pleasant fragrance in the building's gym. The compact Scent Doctor mounts on the wall, out of the way, in black or white.
We also have other discreet floor mounting options, or can disperse through your ducted air conditioning.
We can recommend a specific model after seeing your building, in person, by video call or from your photos.

How do our odour control systems work?
What is ozone, or trioxygen?
Ozone is a molecule of three oxygen atoms (O3), so ozone is also called trioxygen. When ozone meets an odour molecule, the ozone breaks the molecule down by oxidation and turns back into oxygen, leaving a fresh, neutral smell. A spray covers a smell for a while. Ozone neutralises the odour. We pipe the ozone close to the source, and results are typically evident within 5 to 30 minutes of installation.
What does germicidal UV-C do?
Germicidal UV-C is a band of ultraviolet light that helps control bacteria, viruses and mould spores. UV-C doesn't remove odour directly. Inside the machine, UV-C helps control airborne germs, for a more hygienic space.
What do the carbon filters do?
Activated carbon filters take dust, airborne chemicals and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) out of the air, and absorb certain odours. In Garbage Doctor and Odour Doctor machines, the filters also help turn ozone back into oxygen and keep the machine running optimally.
What is photo catalytic oxidation (PCO)?
Ultraviolet light on a titanium dioxide catalyst creates an oxidiser even stronger than ozone, which breaks down odours and helps control germs. The oxidiser lasts only a fraction of a second, so PCO works inside the machine, alongside the germicidal UV-C (on selected models).
What is scented vapour?
Our scenting hardware makes an extremely light vapour, so the fragrance travels with the airflow and stays in the air for longer. Paired with ozone, scented vapour leaves a pleasant fragrance where the garbage odour was. Choose from options such as Lemon Myrtle & Orange, Aloe Vera & Cucumber, Forest Nights, Riverstone, and Coconut & Vanilla.
Who makes Garbage Doctor® and Odour Doctor®?
We do. We design and build Garbage Doctor and Odour Doctor machines in Australia, with our research and development in-house. The people who design the machines work with the machines on site every day. What we've learnt about treating odours in bin rooms, garbage chutes and loading docks over the last 20 years has resulted in industry-leading products and service. We also supply Scent Doctor fragrance systems, and install and service them the same way.
We don't sell through distributors. You deal directly with the people who design, install and service your system, with no distributor's margin in the price.
Areas we service
Our licensed technicians install and service systems in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast, the Tweed Coast, Airlie Beach and Auckland in New Zealand. If your building is somewhere else, please ask us.
Real installations, since 2006
We bring industry-leading technology and service to every installation. Since 2006, we've installed odour control systems in apartment buildings, hotels, resorts and shopping centres. Our licensed technicians install and service every machine, and when you call, a real person answers.
Osprey Apartments suffered from garbage odours in the basement bins which wafted up the garbage chutes and created odour problems in the foyers and the apartments. We used deodoriser which tended to mask the smalls but not eliminate them, especially if seafood was involved. I made contact with Purifying Solutions and Bruce Taylor was most helpful in providing information on their products and suggesting the best solution for our particular situation. He offered to conduct a trial to prove the merits of the Garbage Doctor system that he had recommended. The trial proved extremely successful and the Osprey Body Corporate agreed to install the system throughout our resort. I have been very happy with the success of the Garbage Doctor system which has resulted in eliminating odours throughout our resort and consequently eliminating customer complaints. Bruce and his staff have also been very helpful and friendly and they frequently call to ensure we are happy with the products. I have no hesitation in recommending Purifying Solutions to anyone experiencing problems similar to our situation.
