Boy, the manager of a mid-sized supermarket branch, noticed on CCTV that many shoppers approached the meat, seafood and deli counters, wrinkled their noses, then walked away. Fresh-food sales — once the branch's star — kept sliding.
The cause was a fishy odour and a sense of un-cleanliness building up in the fresh aisles. Even though staff washed floors and wiped counters daily, bacteria and odour from blood water, food scraps and moisture stayed lodged in drains, chiller gaps and the aisle's air.
In food retail, 'fresh and clean' is everything. Shoppers decide from the first impression as they enter an aisle; if it smells or feels unclean, they won't buy and may never return.
Boy needed to kill germs and cut odour at the source across the whole aisle, not just mask it. The answer was the AIROFOG U260 ULV sprayer, fogging air and surfaces after closing each day.
The fresh aisle is a supermarket's heart, but also the spot most prone to germ and odour build-up. Moisture, food scraps and blood water from meat and fish are prime food for bacteria that create both smell and hygiene risk.
Most unpleasant odour comes from bacteria breaking down organic matter, so masking with air freshener misses the point — the source remains. Killing germs at the source is what cuts both odour and risk.
Commercially, a shopper's sense of un-cleanliness translates straight into lost sales, especially in the fresh aisle that drives the branch's traffic and profit.
Food-safety standards and public-health inspections also matter for retailers; a tangible disinfection system helps both image and passing inspection.
Investing in proper disinfection isn't a cost but a way to protect sales and customer trust.
Washing floors and wiping counters is a necessary base, but handles only visible surfaces. Germs and odour lodged in drains, chiller gaps and the aisle's air are beyond a cloth's reach.
Air freshener masks rather than removes the source, so odour always returns; hand spraying covers little and doesn't reach the whole aisle.
What the store needs is ULV fogging that blankets the whole fresh aisle, reaching drains and chiller gaps, killing the germs behind the odour in both air and surfaces — exactly what a ULV sprayer does best.
The AIROFOG U260 is a German-engineered ULV sprayer that fogs large areas fast and thoroughly. Its 15-30 micron mist blankets the fresh aisle and reaches drains, chiller gaps and dead corners where germs and odour collect.
Used with a food-safe, odour-reducing disinfectant, staff can fog the whole aisle quickly after closing each day, cutting germs and odour at the source — restoring a fresh, clean feel shoppers sense from the first step.
Once we began fogging the whole fresh aisle with the AIROFOG U260 after closing each day, the odour that plagued us genuinely went away — because it kills germs at the source, not just masks them. Shoppers came back to the aisle and sales recovered.

The AIROFOG U260 is a German-engineered Airofog ULV sprayer, tested and certified by leading institutes in Thailand and abroad — the Department of Medical Sciences, the Department of Health, and Mahidol University's Faculty of Medicine, plus international standards such as WHO, TÜV Rheinland and IPARC. That gives a branch management and fresh-food team confidence that every pass follows real science, not just the feeling of clean.
Just as important, the machine works with a wide range of certified disinfectants, so the chemistry can be matched to the target pathogen of each site. Before-and-after surface sampling consistently confirms more than 99.99% reduction of viruses, bacteria and fungi.

Can we reopen the next morning after fogging?
Fog after closing and ventilate per the disinfectant's guidance before opening, for safety and food freshness.
Does it really help with odour?
Yes — it kills the odour-causing bacteria at the source, and you can choose a formula with added deodorising properties.
Is it safe for food in chillers?
Fog the area and surfaces once food is stored or chillers are closed, using a food-safe formula; our team will advise the steps.
Is one unit enough for a branch?
One unit moves between departments; refill the 5-litre tank and continue — ideal for continuous work.
Is formula-selection advice available?
Yes — contact our team for free help choosing a food-safe, odour-reducing disinfectant.
