Book & Antique Odor Problems

One of the problems that has plagued old books and antiques is the harmful result of exposure to moisture over a long period of time. This can cause mold, mildew, odors and numerous other problems. The latter can result in damaging valuable articles if corrective action is not taken.

The Solution

The Smelleze® Reusable Book Smell Deodorizer Pouch was specially developed to adsorb, neutralize, and encapsulate musty mold and mildew odors from all types of books and antiques. Smelleze® can also be stored with any item to absorb moisture thereby preventing moisture condensation, mold and mildew.

According to the results of tests conducted on smelly books by Edith Reynolds of The Bookoligist, she states 'I placed Smelleze® in the bottom of a plastic bin and placed the book on a rack directly above it. I closed the lid and checked the next day. It worked!’'

It's No Cover-up

The Smelleze® Reusable Book Smell Deodorizer Pouch is a natural deodorizer that can be used to effectively eliminate and prevent musty and moldy odors from books and antiques instead of merely masking them with fragrances. Smelleze® is negatively charged whereas musty and moldy odors ride on positively charged particles. As a result, Smelleze® draws in these 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 musty and moldy odors and work for months.

Environmentally Friendly

The Smelleze® Reusable Book Smell Deodorizer Pouch is non-toxic, safe, non-hazardous, natural, non-scented and non-caustic. Furthermore, it does not contain any ozone depleting substances. It is an ideal environmentally friendly solution for eliminating musty, moldy odors from books and antiques without adding pollutants to the air 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 used by anyone to effectively eliminate musty, moldy odors from all books and antiques without damaging them. 

Directions

To eliminate musty, moldy odors from books and antiques, simply remove the plastic cover and place one or more Smelleze® pouches with the item in a sealed plastic bag, plastic container or glass container. Store the item you are treating with Smelleze® until the odors are eliminated. 

Books, antiques, clothing and other items may also be stored with Smelleze® over long periods of time to absorb moisture and to prevent musty mildew and mold odors permeating books and antiques.

For larger items, you may use Smelleze® General Purpose Deodorizer Powder to eliminate odors. Simply sprinkle the powder on the item to be treated, leave overnight and vacuum. Repeat until the odors are eliminated.
