Agar Bac2Work Odour‑Eliminating Biological Toilet & Urinal Cleaner 1L‑5L ‑ Bacterial Digester for Washrooms, Urinals & Drains

What Is Agar Bac2Work?

Agar Bac2Work is a biological washroom cleaner built to tackle one of the most common facilities complaints there is: toilets and urinals that smell bad no matter how often they’re wiped down. Rather than covering odour with fragrance, Bac2Work uses a liquid suspension of live bacterial spores that go to work on the actual source of the smell, organic soilage and uric acid salts that build up in and around toilets, urinals, floors and walls. It’s part of Agar’s biological cleaning range and is GECA certified.

Key Benefits of Agar Bac2Work

• Eliminates odour at the source instead of masking it with perfume
• Bacterial spores keep digesting soilage even after cleaning staff have left the area
• Works in waterless urinal systems as well as standard plumbed fixtures
• Suited to a wide range of hard surfaces without damaging them
• Classified Non-Hazardous under Safe Work Australia workplace criteria
• GECA certified

How Does Agar Bac2Work Work?

Once Bac2Work is applied to a surface or added to water, the bacterial spores in the formula activate and multiply, feeding on the organic waste and uric acid salts that cause bad odours in washrooms. As they consume this material, it’s broken down into carbon dioxide and simple, water-soluble by-products. Because the bacteria carry on working for as long as soilage is present, Bac2Work keeps deodorising well after the initial application, rather than giving a short-lived masking effect. A mint fragrance is included for a pleasant finish, but it’s the biological action doing the actual work.

How to Use Agar Bac2Work

Bac2Work is flexible in how it’s applied, since washroom odour problems vary in severity. For a stubborn, long-standing odour, apply it undiluted directly to the affected surface, work it in with a mop or cloth, leave it for around five minutes, then wipe away any excess and allow it to air dry rather than rinsing it off. For routine floor mopping and general maintenance, dilute it with water at around 1:20. Tougher, more established odours generally call for a stronger mix than the routine maintenance dilution, so it’s worth adjusting the strength to the severity of the problem rather than always using the same ratio. For sinks, troughs and drains, pour roughly 50-100ml directly down the outlet and leave it to work, ideally overnight. In waterless urinal systems, dilute in the same order of ratio as the general floor mix. One thing worth knowing: because Bac2Work relies on live bacteria, it should never be mixed with disinfectants, sanitisers, hot water or other strong chemicals, since these will kill the bacteria and stop it working. It’s also best to dilute only what you’ll use in the next several hours, since a diluted mix loses effectiveness well before the end of the day.

What Surfaces Can Agar Bac2Work Be Used On?

Bac2Work is suited to porcelain and stainless steel toilet bowls, urinals including waterless systems, vitreous enamel baths and basins, shower recesses, ceramic tiles, stainless steel benches, and sinks and troughs, in short, most hard, washable surfaces found in a commercial washroom.

Frequently Asked Questions About Agar Bac2Work

What is Agar Bac2Work used for?

It’s a biological washroom cleaner that eliminates bad odours in toilets and urinals by digesting the organic soilage and uric acid salts that cause the smell, rather than masking it with fragrance.

How does Agar Bac2Work eliminate odour?

It contains live bacterial spores that activate on contact with waste matter, consuming organic soilage and uric acid salts and breaking them down into carbon dioxide and water-soluble by-products. The bacteria keep working as long as soilage is present.

Can I use Agar Bac2Work with disinfectants or hot water?

No. Bac2Work relies on live bacteria to work, so mixing it with disinfectants, sanitisers, hot water or other strong chemicals will kill the bacteria and stop it working.

Does Agar Bac2Work work in waterless urinals?

Yes, it’s suited to waterless urinal systems as well as standard plumbed toilets and urinals.

What surfaces can I use Agar Bac2Work on?

Porcelain and stainless steel toilet bowls, urinals, vitreous enamel baths and basins, shower recesses, ceramic tiles, stainless steel benches, and sinks and troughs.

Agar Bac2Work is available in a 1L pack (BAC1) and a 5L pack (BAC5), both stocked by Nova Cleaning Supplies.

Is Agar Bac2Work GECA certified?

Yes, Bac2Work is GECA certified.

How long does diluted Agar Bac2Work stay effective?

Once diluted, the live bacteria lose effectiveness within several hours, so it’s best to dilute only as much as you plan to use in that cleaning session rather than mixing up a batch to store.
