Don’t let Toxic Paint Fumes Stop you from Enjoying your Home
Many paints contain harmful volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) which continue to be emitted for days, weeks or even months after painting. This results in exposure not only to unpleasant paint odors but to chemicals which could be harmful to your family’s health. The Smelleze® Paint Deodorizer Pouch was specially developed to eliminate toxic paint odors on contact without masking them with fragrances. This helps keep your home safe and smelling clean.
For a breath of fresh air, simply hang the reusable Smelleze® pouches in rooms that were painted or place on return air ducts and smell the difference. As a precaution, it is also advantageous to use Smelleze® during painting to minimize the odors. To rejuvenate periodically, 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. Smelleze® is an ideal environmentally friendly solution for eliminating toxic paint odors without adding pollutants to the air you breathe. It 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.
Paint Odor Problems
Many paints contain volatile organic compounds (VOC's) which continue to be emitted for days after a paint job. Unfortunately, most ventilation systems only recirculate room air and remove large particulate matter such as dirt, dust, and lint. Noxious paint odors are left free to recirculate in the air you breathe. Over time, they could increase in concentration if left untreated. This results in exposure to not only unpleasant odors but to potentially harmful chemicals which could cause health problems.
The Solution
The Smelleze® Paint Deodorizer Pouch was specially developed to adsorb, neutralize, and encapsulate many unpleasant paint odors on contact. Smelleze® will truly cleanse the air of noxious odors, complement existing ventilation systems, and result in a fresh smelling home. This will be appreciated by the whole family.
It's No Cover-up
The Smelleze® Paint Deodorizer Pouch is a natural deodorizer that can be used to eliminate noxious and unpleasant paint 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 paint 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 paint odors and work for months.
Environmentally Friendly
The Smelleze® Paint Deodorizer Pouch is non-toxic, safe, non-hazardous, natural, non-scented and non-caustic. It is an ideal environmentally friendly solution for eliminating paint odors without adding pollutants to the air employees breathe and improving indoor air quality. Smelleze® does not contain chemical additives and is especially beneficial for those suffering from chemical sensitivity.
Applications
Smelleze® can be effectively used in all homes to eliminate many paint odors.
Directions
For a breath of fresh air, simply remove the plastic cover, place Smelleze® pouches in the area to treated, and smell the difference. Use one or more recommended size pouches per area treated. This product will function most efficiently in an enclosed area with good air circulation. To obtain the best results, remove the odor sources (e.g. open paint containers) and clean the affected area prior to treating with Smelleze®. For extra effectiveness, this product may be used in conjunction with Smelleze® General Purpose Deodorizer Granules and Powder.
Rejuvenating, Reusing & Recycling
The Smelleze® Paint Deodorizer Pouch may be reused repeatedly after periodically rejuvenating them. Rejuvenate the pouches weekly until a noticeable decrease in odor is detected. Thereafter, rejuvenate them every 3-4 months or when odor levels increase. To rejuvenate, simply heat the pouches in a microwave 2-4 minutes or place in direct sunlight for a day and reuse.
The number of times Smelleze® can be rejuvenated and its actual life span will depend on the odor concentrations, temperature, humidity and velocity of air flow it is exposed to. Replace the pouches every 3-4 months or when rejuvenation eventually fails to work.
As a precaution, do not rejuvenate the Smelleze® in a microwave if they have been exposed to a hazardous or toxic substance. It is better to be safe and to rejuvenate the pouch outdoors in direct sunlight where is plenty of ventilation.
