CLEAN HAS NO ODOR




TECHNOLOGY THAT REMOVES ODOURS AND CHEMICALS FROM YOUR LAUNDRY - HOW DOES ODORKLENZ WORK?Removal of pollutants and odours is an important application area with significant impact on human health and quality of life. Con-sumer products deploy a variety of technologies including: car-bons, absorbents, enzymes, fragrances, talc, sodium carbonate, etc. to try to mitigate or mask the odour.

Many technologies have only limited removal capacities and of-ten no odour elimination and neutralization capabilities. Often the odour chemical contaminates can be released back into the en-vironment which is a major drawback of commonly used odour treatment products.

OdorKlenz® materials are environmentally safe and non-toxic na-nocrystalline metal oxides that are scientifically described as highly efficient “destructive adsorbent chemicals.” When these materials come into contact with harmful odour causing chemical agents, the metal oxides’ active sites first capture the chemical then initiate the neutralization process. This type of action is needed for the nu-merous types of odorous chemicals that possess a variety of differ-ent functional groups. The increased surface area, unique physical morphology, high chemical reactivity, and functional porosity, all contribute to the enhanced chemical adsorption and odour neutral-izing characteristics.

Smell costs moneyEspecially odours and chemistry after fire damage, etc. can be a very big challenge to remove and neutralize. And every year clothes and fabrics for very large values are discarded that the in-surance industry has to replace.

Several insurance customers suffer from allergies and chemi-cal sensitivity (MCS).In addition, the number of people with fragrance allergies and chemical sensitivity is increasing, which is also a challenge for the damage industry, as the usual detergents and fabric softeners con-taining fragrances are no longer accepted for laundry by insurance customers. And thus there are not many opportunities to get rid of these odours, as well as fragrance and chemical substances.

OdorKlenz Laundry Additive change this! Thanks to new technology, it is now possible to remove odours as well as fragrance and chemical substances by effective absorption and true neutralization. It is a real removal of these many harmful substances, which means that people with allergies and chemi-cal sensitivity can feel completely safe by having their clothing returned from the damage industry.

HOW CAN ODORKLENZ HELP YOU?OdorKlenz Laundry Additive is a safe and effective additive that eliminates severe laundry odours that typical detergents cannot remove. You simply add it with your normal detergent.

OdorKlenz Laundry Additive is ideal for people suffering from con-tact allergy or fragrance and chemistry sensitivity (MCS), athletes, hospitals, nursing homes, institutions, hotels, restaurants, food industry, firemen, farmers, mechanics, etc. for use on stubborn odours originates from urine, faeces, sweat, vomiting, fire, smoke, animals, cooking or food.

The technology neutralizes the odours instead of masking with perfumes like many detergents and additives, making it ideal for chemically sensitive people.OdorKlenz Laundry Additive offers simple, safe and fast odour and fragrance elimination of machine washable fabrics affected by common laundry odours. The product is non-bleaching or staining,

and most importantly, no masking agents or additional fragrances are added so - your laundry will come out fragrance and chem-ical-free.

Removing mildew odours from clothes was once a difficult task, but now you can safely remove musty odours from clothes and lin-ens without the use of harsh chemicals or masking agents. Clothes that were left in the washer overnight often headed right to the trash but now you can salvage your neglected laundry by washing them in a load of OdorKlenz Laundry Additive.

OdorKlenz Laundry Additive is available in a liquid form. Safe for use on cotton, personal delicate, nylon, polyester, spandex, wash-able lace, washable rayon, washable wool, and all other washable fabrics. The product should not be used in combination with bleach or vinegar as this will limit overall effectiveness.

PERFECT FOR LAUNDRY IN THE DAMAGE INDUSTRYThe damage industry often wash clothes for insurance companies’ customers after fire and water damage, etc.

WHICH INGREDIENTS ARE ODORKLENZ MADE FROM?OdorKlenz® products are made from safe and effective earth min-erals – Magnesiumoxid (MgO), Magnesiumhydroxid (Mg(OH)2), Zinkoxid (ZnO), Titandioxid (Ti02) – which are designed to remove the most stubborn odours from your home.

As OdorKlenz products come into contact with the offending odours, the product’s chemistry attaches to and reacts with the pollutants and/or destroys/neutralizes the pollutant.

OdorKlenz products contain no masking agents or perfumes that leave behind residual scents.

OdorKlenz products are versatile, durable, and reliable odour neu-tralizers that are strong enough to eliminate stubborn odors, but gentle enough to use around your family and pets.

Above you can see a list of odours that OdorKlenz Laundry Additive can neutralize and remove from your textiles. The technology is not limited to these dours and can neutralize a wide range of chemistry and odour of different origins.

APPLICATION - ODORKLENZ REMOVES THE FOLLOWING ODOURS IN CLOTHES/TEXTILES:

• Firedamage and smoke odour in general• Odours from dry-boiling, dry-frying, protein fire (the smell of burnt food)• Fire with synthetic materials• Cooking odours• Smoke & tobacco odours• Odour from sewage, faeces• Mould and mildew odour• Odour from faeces and urine in eg. bed linen• Diesel and gasoline odour• Perfume• Sweat and body odours• Odours in clothing from pets, pigs, mink etc.• Smell of old clothes and mothballs• Chemical odours• Mildew odours in clothing left in the washer

WHAT DOES NANOACTIVE MEAN?The OdorKlenz® products use a technology called NanoActive® that makes them very effective for chemical neutralization and odour elimination. However the materials are NOT nanoparticles.

The term “nano” means many different things and can be applied to many fields of science, technology, and research. Generally it re-fers to technologies that deal with the special properties of things or matter that that are sized below 100 nm in 2 or 3 dimensions and as materials get smaller, many different physical and chemical phenomena become pronounced.

One example is as the size of the things decreases the chemical reactions or kinetics typically increase. In the case of odour neu-tralization that would mean faster and more complete elimination of the odour. A drawback though is as materials get smaller in size they could potentially pose a safety concern due to the small size of the particles.

What makes the NanoActive technology special is we get the benefits of the more effective chemical neutralization without the concerns of small nanoparticles. In fact our particles are many times larger than nanoparticles.

You are probably wondering how this is achieved?OdorKlenz has a patented process in which they can produce metal oxide materials (which are inherently safe earth minerals) and in-crease the usable surface area and pore volume. These increases allow us to take advantage of the whole volume of our material for chemical neutralization and not just the outside surface. We get the activity of nanomaterials, without being a nanoparticle.

USER GUIDE - BEST PRACTICESWith so many washing machine types and variable settings and options a person has when doing laundry, we wanted to put a list of best conditions to help you ensure the product performs as it is expected.

OdorKlenz Laundry Additive removes odours, as well as fragrances and chemical substances from your textiles – but is not a deter-gent. You should therefore use it with your usual detergent, which ensures that stain and visible dirt are removed from the laundry.

Please read all the product label instructions and follow those di-rections as best as possible. The instructions are here for your con-venience:

Liquid version:Add Laundry Additive along with your regular detergent to elimi-nate odours from your laundry. For best results use with warm wa-ter. Do not use in combination with bleach or vinegar. Keep bottle closed when not in use to maintain the product’s effectiveness

For HE and front load washers, add the additive along with your detergent in the designated detergent slot.

For top load washers, the same procedure as for front load wash-ers.

Safe for use on cotton, personal delicate, nylon, polyester, span-dex, washable lace, washable rayon, washable wool, and all other washable fabrics.

Not intended for use with bleach or on dry-clean-only fabrics, leather, satin, silk, and suede.

This product is safe for the environment. Made from proprietary materials. Safe to use in High-Efficiency washing machines.

Fundamentally, for our laundry additive products to work best, they need to come into contact with the offending odour source.

Here are some suggestions and settings to use that encourage contact between our product and the offending odour/chemical source during the wash.

DO THE FOLLOWING:

• Use wash cycles with more agitation (wool/delicate cycle has reduced agitation).

• Warm water instead of cold water. Ideal at 30-90° C.

• Extra rinse at the end of the cycle.

• If your machine dispenses laundry products at timed moments in the wash, make sure our product is dispensed during the main wash and agitation cycle, not in a prewash or final rinse cycle.

AVOID:

• Any prewash or presoaks cycles. Please do not use prewash or presoak cycles. If your machine has these types of cycles and you added our product to the wash basin, it will likely be removed from the wash before it has anytime to interact with the odour source.

• If the laundry additive folded inside of fabrics. Please do not have the additive in a situation where it does not freely move within the wash. Since our product does not behave like laundry detergent, it needs to be able to freely move within the wash to come into contact with the offending source odour.

• Overloaded wash cycles. Over loading the wash machine makes it difficult for the product to work properly. The level of contamination may be too much for the recommended dosage and the product may not be able to fully contact all the odour sources in the wash.

• Do not use in combination with bleach, vinegar or other additives.

SOAKING PROCEDURE - RECOMMENDED BY STUBBORN ODOURSIn some cases it can be beneficial to soak the clothing/textiles be-fore washing. This can be useful to get some of the most stobburn odours out, but also reduces those pollutants from going into your washing machine.

Here are our recommendations for doing a soaking step before the laundry goes into the washing machine:

• Select a bucket or container that will comfortably hold (i.e. room to float) the items you are wanting to soak in Laundry Additive.

• Fill the empty container with enough warm water that will fully cover the wash items. (Do not put the clothes in yet).

• Next add Laundry Additive (¼ to ½ cup / 60-120 ml). Agitate to disperse the product.

• Add the clothing items you wish to soak.

• Let the items soak for at least 30 minutes (longer times periods will increase effectiveness). If the Laundry Additive looks like it has settle to the bottom, agitate to resuspend the product.

• After your soaking period is over, remove the items and place them in the wash machine and follow your normal wash care practices as recommended by your clothing label. You do not need to wash with OdorKlenz again.

FOR BEST RESULTS:

• Agitate occasionally during soaking to increase success of the process.

• Use warm water instead of cold water in the soaking process and in the wash machine.

• Extra rinse at the end of the cycle for the wash machine.

AVOID:

• Overload the soaking container. Over loading makes it difficult for the product to work properly. The level of contamination may be too much for the recommended dosage and the product may not be able to fully contact all the odour sources.

• Do not use in combination with bleach, vinegar or other addi-tives. These counteract the efficacy of our product.

ODORKLENZ

The development of OdorKlenz products was inspired by people suffering from fragrance and chemical sensitivity, "Multiple Chemi-cal Sensitivity" also abbreviated MCS.People suffering from MCS are especially sensitive to chemical pol-lutants in the air and clothes, and show symptoms because they are exposed to certain chemicals.These symptoms can affect many body functions and the most common are:

• Headache

• Migraine

• Cognitive dysfunction (problems with thinking, memory and concentration)

• Severe fatigue, exhaustion

• Feeling sick, flu-feeling

• Dizziness

• Nausea

• Skin and mucosal problems, respiratory distress, eye discomfort

• Urinary tract infection

• Symptoms from the gastrointestinal tract

• Joint pain

• Chest pain

One of the biggest challenges for MCS patients is that they live in a world where chemicals and fragrances are present every-where. Therefore there is a need for efficient methods to reduce sympthoms and increase the quality of life for this group of people.

TYPES OF CHEMICALSOdorKlenz products are effective against many different types of chemicals, such as:Esters, terpenes, aromatics, amines, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones and thiols.

For people with MCS, many chemicals and substances with strong fragrance are the most common triggers for their symptoms and include:Perfumes, cleaning products, pesticides, cigarette smoke and many more.

OdorKlenz products are designed to absorb and neutralize these types of chemicals and fragrances, while the products do not re-lease other chemicals that can trigger new symptoms.

The difference between Multiple Chemical Sensitivity and allergy:Allergi can be measured in the blood or by skin prick test

Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) can not be measured - one can only relate to the person’s experiences.

Sensitivity is used for both allergy and chemical sensitivity.

Inspired by people suffering from MCS, multiple chemical sensitivity

NOTE! OdorKlenz Laundry Additive absorbs and neutralizes odours and chemistry in your laundry.

The neutralized chemistry is flushed into the sewage with the rinse water.

No other products on the market offer this advanced technology.

OdorKlenz Laundry Additive is certified with »The Blue Label« by Asthma-Allergy Denmark.
