Abstract
Abstract A formulation comprising an aqueous solution containing one or more aerobic, mesophilic, spore-forming bacterial agents selected from Group I of the genus Bacillus to induce aerobic decomposition of odor causing waste matter to a form free of odor; and an odor suppressing agent including a perfumant initially effective to suppress and/or mask any undesirable odors that might be released by the waste materials before and during decomposition thereof, and a carrier containing an emulsifier into which the perfumant is dissolved.
