Deodorizing Public Spaces

NCP's 'Stairwell Smells' Plans to Banish Unsavory Odors in UK

Stairwells are noted for their unique and almost always unsavory smells; UK parking provider NCP has come up with a Stairwell Smells program to help keep the stink at bay.

Users can visit the Stairwell Smells website to vote on their preferred scent for London, Birmingham, Cardiff, or Leeds. Available scents include roses, freshly baked bread or roast chicken, according to the NCP website.

Should the Stairwell Smells program prove successful, NCP plans to roll it out throughout the UK and make stinky stairwells a thing of the past.
