Odor absorbers & air fresheners


Teachers search for solutions to classroom odor elimination

Odor in the class room and odor eliminators for classrooms are a highly searched topics.  Musty classroom, classroom stinks, How do I get rid of odor in my classroom? or Best Ways to make my classroom odor free?  Are all on the minds of teachers at this point in the school year on what kind of odor absorber is needed.

Place 30 students, one teacher a teachers aide and various class pets and you will have odor.  Many of the classroom as are carpeted with indoor outdoor style carper, which wears well, but does hold odor in its fibers. Books will have a musty smell from  humidity and age. In an effort to save money, classrooms may only be surfaced cleaned on a daily basis and heavy cleaned only once or twice a year.

 Add students back packs that have been on the ground numerous times, muddy shoes, wet umbrellas, rain coats, boxes full of teach supplies also add to the odor issue.  So how do you get rid of the mustyschool room odor naturally, so you do not leave a scent that may bring on allergy issues for students, with odor absorbers that are fragrance free and non toxic and they cannot spill.  An average class room will be approx 20 x 40 and will need one odor absorber for every  6 x 6 area that needs odor elimination. Place then also near the trash and under the class room sink for added absorption. Pet cages need to have one or two depending on the pet and the back pack area needs to have several for odor absorbers.  I recommend Innofresh odor absorbers in wafer form for normal odor absorption and Fridge it odor absorbers for larger areas to get odors under control.

Summer turns to fall, then winter and putting away your summer clothes in your closet and the change over of your clothes each season is your annual ritual. Due to this process you start to notice things about your closet. How your closet smells and what kind of closet odor and odor removal you need gets more attention. Yes, it is a good idea to use a closet odor absorber year round and change it 3 times per year.

Closet odor can be easily eliminated with an activated charcoal odor absorber like Innofresh odor eliminators.  Why do you have closet smells and odors and how do you need to get them under control? The other question is do you want to neutralize the odor so it is fragrance free, or you want to add a scent and use an air freshener to be more what you had in mind.

You contribute to closet odor by adding moth balls, clothes you have worn and hung, footwear, coats or by placing things on the top shelves in musty card board boxes. Add what you have on the floor in the closet like shoes, sneakers and add the odor from the shoes on the shoe rack or the shoes and purses just thrown into the bottom of the closet, all add to the odor problem.  Add in tightly packed clothes on hangers that are not allowed to air out and then shut them in a small sealed room and you will have closet odor.

Thus you need to have a three zone approach. One to three absorbers for top shelf items, place one in each box or bag.  The hanger area, you need to allow some air flow, so unjamming the clothes is a must and hang an odor absorber to prevent odor transfer.  On the bottom of the closet get the foot odor absorbers for each shoe that can be placed into the shoes that are not worn, to absorber the odors. If you use the closet  as most do as your catch all for sports equipment, ect, then be sure to place a larger activated charcoal refrigerator odor absorber like a Fridge It cube in on the floor, to grab odors. Figure one Fridge It charcoal odor absorber can help a 6′ x 6′ area, if there is good air flow.  If not, you need more and segment them per zone in your closet for odor control and odor elimination. No one wants a smelly closest, so an naturally activated charcoal odor absorber will do the job nicely. So yes it is a good idea of use a closet odor absorber over a air-freshener. Air fresheners will not remove te odor, just add a scent to all your clothes.

Fridge It is a naturally activated charcoal odor absorber that absorbs refrigerator and freezer odors,  It can keep your ice maker smelling great and ice tasting fresh.  Fridge It is a purple cube that last up to 6 months. it is also great for under the sink, near trash containers, storage closets, garages, RV and Boats.

How to Keep Your Refrigerator Clean and Odor Free

 

Here is another blogger talking about Fridge It and how well it worked for her too.

How to Keep Your Refrigerator Clean and Odor Free on 07/24/08

I had the worst refrigerator odor coming from a combination of cheese, onions and Chinese food. Pretty bad. After trying just about everything else including baking soda which didn’t really work well, I saw a recommendation about a product called Fridge-IT. It is a little purple activated carbon odor absorber. Might be little but wow, does it work great. I highly recommend it.   www.innofresh.com

How to get rid of luggage odor

Luggage odor remover- Fridge It     Luggage odor is common.  It depends on where it has been stored when not in use.  It depends on when you are using it, where it has been and where you have stayed.

Luggage odor when storing your bags can be easily taken care of by placing an activated carbon odor absorber like www.fridgeit.com inside the bag.  This will then absorb all the odor inside the bag and keep it smelling fresh until the next time you use it.

Depending on where the luggage is stored, a few odor absorbers hanging of placed on the bag or above the bag will do the job.  Many times the bags are stored in the garage and so is your garbage and the odors transfer to the luggage.

When you are traveling, the bags are placed with other bags piled high in the cargo areas of planes, which also carry, fruit, mail and other cargo, thus you are not only picking up the odor of other bags, but of what they are carrying that flight.  Also remember that the loading and unloading of bags is done in the open, so rain, humidity, heat and tar mack smell can all be picked up by the luggage. 

Once you get to the hotel and you drop your luggage on the floor and fail to see the carpet has just been cleaned so it is damp and also a scent was added to the carpet, which is now dried into your bag.  If the hotel is musty that will also transfer.  That type of odor can also be taken care of with a  product like www.innofresh.com charcoal odor absorber flat wafer style.  You can travel with it, use it in your luggage and also make your room smell better. 

If you are in a cruise ship there is ocean odors that can turn your bag to smelling rancid by the end of the trip.  Then the room smells and you think it is the room and it is really your luggage.

So for luggage odors use a Naturally activated Charcoal odor absorber like Fridge It www.fridgeit.com cube or water or email info@innofresh.com



Winter proofing your home from odors.

Fall and Winter are around the corner and so is winterizing your get away place so it will be in good shape for next year or getting your year round home ready for closed windows and heating will require using odor absorbers.

Besides the cleaning up, stowing away, cleaning out the refrigerator, closets and making room in the garage and basement for boats, RV’s or sport bikes, this process leads to how to stop winters musty smells and odors from getting in the furniture, linens, carpet, curtains and refrigerator.

In your process of winterizing or winter proofing, think of the odor and must and how to get rid of it through out the fall and winter. Try using a activated charcoal odor absorber in several areas.  For larger areas you you can leave baking pans filled with charcoal, (not brickettes) to absorb the smells that will get released as the temperatures cools in rooms. Place the charcoal on a flat tray and evenly spread out the charcoal, place in an area where it will be left alone and not spilled.  Under a bed, on the top of the kitchen counter,  in the fire place.  I assume you know this is treatment is not to be lit.

For enclosed area, such as  closets, storage rooms, linen closets, garages, basements, under sinks in refrigerators, freezers,  bathrooms, kitchen cabinets or in boats or other areas you are tarping Fridge It cube charcoal odor absorbers or Innofresh flat wafer odor absorbers will absorb the odors.  These areas need a odor product that will not tip over or spill or have a mess.  So the when looking for a natural “no mess or spill” solution, this is the products I want to recommend.  Since they last for around 4 to 6 months, they have a lot of long lasting odor absorbing power.

Another good place for a Fridge It is in the empty trash barrel, this will absorb the odors all winter long. A refrigerator that is unplugged all winter and closed and have quite the smell, so again another good winterizing tip. Also in your everyday fridge, since you cook more hearty foods in the winter, that create more odor.

The other key place for winter odor is foot odor. Use a footware absorbers placed into your shoes to get the summer odor out of them and make them better for the next time you come to vacation.

Add naturally activated charcoal odor absorber to your winterizing shopping list. For more information on odor absorbers, contact via email at customerservice@innofresh.com or visit their web site www.innofresh.com.



Getting rid of music instrument case odor.

My son came home and told me that his new guitar case still smelled really bad.  He said every time he opens it, it just stinks.

The smell has been there since he bought the guitar and case.  We asked at the store if that was normal and was told to give it a week and the smell would be gone, that was a year ago.

We have tried air fresheners and they mask the odor, but only for a short time.  The reason being that once the air freshener has done all it can do, it will do no more.  Thus still a stinky instrument case.  The smell is more powerful that the air freshener we tried using. 

 So we moved on to natually activatead charcoal odor absorbers, as with any instrument, you do not want it near any powders, liquids or gels.   Since the music case is so stinky we are putting several in to draw out the odors. It really worked quite well. And now the case is odor free.

I remembered my other son had a clarinet and a case that also smelled and put a taste in your mouth of metal.  It had an old smell that reminded me of green moss and a taste of a rancid silver spoon, and that was also absorbed with the odor absorbers. 

I used Innofresh odor eliminator, is is a charcoal odor absorber  www.innofresh.com and that will do the trick to get the smell out of the case.  Since is is non toxic, no spill, it worked for 4 months and will not effect the instrument. You can find out where to order on line or get it near you at www.innofresh.com or customerservice@innofresh.com.



Why activated carbon works well as an odor aborber.

  What is activated carbon and why does it work so well?
 
 I asked why the Activated Carbon works so well and was told it is a natural, environmentally safe, charcoal that is treated with steam at an extremely high temperature that results in a material that is filled with millions of microscopic holes and pores inside and on the surface that make activated carbon one of the most porous materials known. 

 

I learned that just one gram of activated carbon has the surface area of the the size of two tennis courts.  This gives it the ability to absorb enormous amounts of odors out of the air resulting in clean fresh air for such a small product in size.   

 

 

I really like the product and the activated carbon in Innofresh  www.innofresh.com and Fridge It odor absorber www.fridgeit.com products have these microscopic pores that really eliminate odors . The surface area is important since it is the best way to capture odors.   As odors pass through our ventilated activated carbon filters it also “pulls” odors from the air holding them secure in its micro pockets.   When odors pass through our filter, they are attached to the carbon pores and are trapped.  They have a  patented design and innovative ventilated air flow that allows for the optimal passage of air through the maximum surface area.  The result is a highly effective odor absorber without small granules, powders and carbon dust usually found with other carbon products.   So that is why it works so well. Amazing!  For more information contact customerservice@innofresh.com or www.innofresh.com  or call 602-866-0411

Air fresheners vs. odor absorbers in a smelly work refrigerator

I am on the search to find out the difference between air fresheners and odor absorbers and what really works in a refrigerator.  I have a refrigerator at work that stinks to high heaven.

The electric went out in the office and the refrigerator was left all weekend with no electric, so everything spoiled.  Even though we threw everything out, it still stunk.

Our office manager bought an air freshener and placed it in the refrigerator. The darn thing smelled like pine. Fake pine at that.  Nice in the woods, not nice when looking to get your lunch to eat.  By the way, the food had the smell in it.  Yuck.

 

Since I had had such success with Fridge It at home, I stopped by the local store and picked a few up for the refrigerator and freezer.  No kidding within a few hours, the weird fake pine smell was gone and so was the odors.  So the winner is Fridge it odor absorber!
