The Science Behind Closet and Drawer Deodorizing: How it Works

As a mom, you know how important it is to keep your home smelling fresh and clean. But have you ever wondered how closet and drawer deodorizers actually work? Understanding the science behind deodorizing can help you make informed choices when selecting products to use in your home.

There are two main types of closet and drawer deodorizers: those that mask odors and those that eliminate odors.

Maskers, such as air fresheners, use fragrances to cover up unpleasant smells. However, these fragrances can contain potentially harmful chemicals and only provide temporary relief.

Eliminators, on the other hand, work by neutralizing or absorbing odors. Baking soda, for example, is a natural odor absorber. When placed in a closet or drawer, it neutralizes unpleasant odors by attracting and neutralizing odor-causing molecules.

Vinegar is another natural odor eliminator. It works by breaking down odor-causing molecules and neutralizing the odor. Essential oils can also help eliminate odors. When used in a spray, the oil molecules can help to neutralize and eliminate unpleasant smells.

In addition to eliminating odors, it's important to keep your closet and drawers clean and well-maintained to prevent odors from returning. Regular cleaning and removing any dirty or smelly items is key.

When choosing closet and drawer deodorizers, it's important to select products that are safe and effective, without exposing you and your family to harmful chemicals. Consider using natural, DIY solutions like baking soda, vinegar, and essential oils.
