Smelleze^® Basement Deodorizer Pouch

Unpleasant Damp, Musty Basement Odors?

Mold and mildew are fungi that thrive in moist conditions and usually cause the damp, musty odors commonly found in basements. In addition to resulting in unpleasant odors, mold spores will irritate someone with allergies and can result in health problems.

The Smelleze^® Basement Deodorizer Pouch was specially developed to solve this problem using a unique dual mechanism. Firstly, it absorbs excessive moisture from the air to lower the relative humidity thereby destroying mold and mildew. Secondly, it eliminates musty basement odors on contact without covering them up with fragrances.

For a breath of fresh air, simply place or hang the reusable Smelleze^® pouches in the basement and smell the difference. To rejuvenate periodically, simply heat in a microwave 2-4 minutes or place in direct sunlight for a day and reuse. Replace when rejuvenation does not help.

Smelleze^® can work for years so it is very cost effective. Smelleze^® is non-toxic, safe,  reusable, recyclable, natural, odorless, non-flammable and non-caustic. It is an ideal environmentally friendly solution for eliminating unpleasant basement odors without adding pollutants to the air you breathe. Smelleze^® does not contain VOCs, harmful or ozone depleting chemicals and is especially beneficial for those suffering from allergies and chemical sensitivity. No fossil fuels are used in the production of Smelleze^® odor control media.

Basement Odor Problems

Because of dampness, lack of light, and colder temperatures, basements are usually invaded by offensive musty and mildewy odors. Pungent basement odors will increase in concentration if left untreated and penetrate stored items. This could damage valuable possessions. Covering up nasty basement odors with masking agents like perfumes pollute the air with chemicals and many times result in even more offensive smells. More importantly, they won't eliminate the problem.

The Solution

The Smelleze^® Basement Deodorizer Pouch was specially developed to adsorb, neutralize, and encapsulate pungent basement odors on contact. Smelleze^® will truly cleanse the air of offensive odors, prevent mold and mildew, and protect your possessions from odor damage. Using Smelleze^® will result in a fresh smelling basement that will be appreciated by the whole family.

It's No Cover-up

The Smelleze^® Basement Deodorizer Pouch is a natural deodorizer that can be used to eliminate pungent musty and mildewy odors instead of merely masking them with fragrances. Smelleze^® is negatively charged whereas odoriferous gases ride on positively charged particles. As a result, Smelleze^® draws in basement odors like a strong magnet. Thereafter, it traps, neutralizes, and encapsulates the odors without smelly cover-ups. The molecular structure of Smelleze^® is made up of a lattice structure arranged to form a honeycomb framework of billions of interconnecting channels. This gives Smelleze^® an enormous surface area that is larger than several football fields. The latter enables Smelleze^® to adsorb phenomenal amounts of stinky basement odors and work for months.

Environmentally Friendly

The Smelleze^® Basement Deodorizer Pouch is non-toxic, safe, non-hazardous, natural, non-scented, recyclable, and non-caustic.
