Abstract

An agent for preventing generation of noxious odors in a commode which provides an energy source for bacteria to the exclusion of sulfates for a period of time and comprises a mixture of one of calcium nitrate, CaN₂O₆, or calcium nitrate tetra hydrate, CaN₂O₆.4H₂O, and ammonium nitrate, NH₄NO₃. A mixture is prepared using 200-1000 grams of calcium nitrate or 1.37(200-1000) grams of tetra hydrate and 1.25 to 12 grams of ammonium nitrate in de-ionized water having a ph of 5 to 9 to produce one liter of the mixture. A fragrance and a coloring agent may optionally be added. The resulting mixture is then mixed one-half ounce to one liter or one-half gallon of water. This will keep the commode fresh without change for a period of twenty-four to thirty-six hours.

Claims

1. A mixture for preventing noxious odors in commodes which comprises one or more compounds which are a bacteria energy source which bacteria will feed to the exclusion of sulfates and a bacteria count control agent in a liquid solution, said mixture comprising in proportion about 200-1000 grams of calcium nitrate or about 1.37(215-1200) grams of calcium nitrate tetra hydrate as the energy source and about 1.25-12.0 grams of ammonium nitrate in about one liter of water.

2. The mixture of claim 1 further comprising a fragrance.

3. The mixture of claim 1 further comprising a coloring agent.

4. The mixture of claim 1 comprising about 432 grams of calcium nitrate or 1.37(432) grams of calcium tetra hydrate and about 5 grams of ammonium nitrate in one liter of water.

5. A method of preventing noxious odors in a commode comprising the steps of providing in liquid form a mixture containing an energy source for bacteria to the exclusion of sulfates and an agent for controlling the growth of bacteria in a limited quantity to prevent increase in bacteria plate count in the commode but which is not deleterious to a septic system, combining said mixture with water and combining a quantity of said mixture in liquid form with water in the commode.

6. The method of claim 5 wherein the nutrient is calcium nitrate or calcium nitrate tetra hydrate and the agent for controlling the growth of bacteria is ammonium nitrate.

7. The method of claim 6 further including a step of introducing a fragrance into the mixture.

8. The method of claim 6 further including the step of introducing a coloring agent in the mixture.

10. The method of claim 7 wherein the step of mixing comprises using about 432 grams of calcium nitrate or about 1.37(432) grams of calcium nitrate tetra hydrate and about 5 grams of ammonium nitrate.

9. A method of preventing noxious odors in a commode comprising the steps of mixing about 200-1000 grams of calcium nitrate or about 1.37(200-1000) grams of calcium nitrate tetra hydrate with about 1.25-12.0 grams of ammonium nitrate in about one liter of water with a pH of 5-9 and dispensing about one liquid ounce of the resulting mixture in a commode with about two liters of water.

11. The method of claim 9 further including the step of including a fragrance in the mixture.

12. The method of claim 9 further including the step of including a coloring agent in the mixture.

13. The method of claim 9 further including the step of including a fragrance in the mixture.
