Osmics? What in the world? It is the study of olfactory sense and odors.
For the custodian, smell is an important function used every day. We use smell to detect bad odors and try to counteract them or find the source of them and remove them. Smell also can be pleasant. When people smell fresh, clean restrooms, buildings and rooms they are put at ease and feel safe and clean. They rarely look beyond the obvious in search of dirt and grime if their sense of smell is coddled. Thus, a clean smelling environment is the key to cleaning success.
