The principle of operation of the odor absorber

In situations where there is a need to eliminate unpleasant odors, air fresheners and fragrances are often used. It should be noted that their use does not solve the problem itself - they only mask the smell, and more often they simply mix with other smells and create an unpleasant atmosphere. Their aroma quickly disappears, and the unpleasant odor returns again.

Ineffective flavorings and fresheners were replaced by an odor absorber in the room. This device or preparation works on the principle of absorption - it absorbs heavy molecules from the air that provoke an undesirable odor, binds them and does not allow to return to the atmosphere. These devices can optionally be equipped with aromatization function.

Important! Unpleasant odor neutralizers can be used both in residential premises and in other places - in bars with poor ventilation, cellars for eliminating musty odors, places for smoking, changing rooms and even in grocery stores.

DIY odor absorber

To create a cozy atmosphere at home, it is not necessary to go to the store to buy an industrial odor absorber indoors. The properties to absorb and retain molecules are possessed by foods and some substances that can be found in almost any kitchen are worth a look.

Important! To make a quality absorber with your own hands, you need to decide on two components:

• what substance will absorb molecules of an undesirable smell;
• pick up a natural flavor that will refresh the air in the room.

The most effective natural absorbers:

1. Activated carbon. It works effectively in small spaces, for example, in a refrigerator, a closet with linen, in an area with a bin. 5-6 tablets placed in the problem area freshen the air and neutralize odors. The tool needs to be changed every day.
2. Table vinegar. Perfectly eliminates the smell of burning and tobacco smoke. 3-4 tablespoons of vinegar are diluted with a glass of water. The resulting solution moisturize the fabric or accessory from the fabric and place in a problem place.

Important! Regularly moisten the cloth or accessory.

3. Baking soda. This product perfectly cleans and disinfects air. The powder must be poured inside an open container and placed in the problem area, periodically updating the mixture.

Important! Do not place the flavor and absorber side by side, as they will reduce to zero the work of each other. They should be placed in opposite parts of the room, and the flavor should be slightly lower than the neutralizer.

Natural Flavors

When the absorption of unpleasant odors is not enough, natural flavors are perfect for creating the perfect atmosphere. They will leave a pleasant and delicate aroma in the air and the following components will cope with their role:

1. Natural coffe. Grind coffee beans, leave overnight in an open container. In addition to leaving a light unobtrusive fragrance, it also absorbs extraneous “spirit”.
2. Citruses. Place a few slices on a saucer and leave on the table - the room will be filled with a light aroma and freshness. It can be used both fresh and dry.
3. Dried herbs. Dried aromatic plants - mint, lemon balm, put in a bag of cloth and place on the shelves of the cabinet or in a convenient place in the room.

Important! You need to be careful, as some plants cause headaches and insomnia.
