Odor removal benefits from an odor encapsulant, which neutralizes volatile organic compound malodors on contact. This works based on molecular matching. If there are more odor molecules than odor encapsulant molecules, the odor will not be completely removed. However, if the source of the odor is not eliminated, the odor can return, and the process of organic odor elimination will provide only temporary relief.
Typically, odor encapsulants are formulated with compatible synthetic fragrances, which sometimes obscure the end results of odor removal. Odor encapsulants use synthetic fragrances in their formulations since organic fragrances would be eliminated in their formulas.
One of the original odor encapsulants had only enough fragrance to obscure any odors from the raw material. An odor encapsulant with almost no fragrance makes it apparent when enough has been used to remove the odor. Also, it was beneficial to start with one product without fragrance to prove that the technology worked. Within a few years, we introduced another version with a great fragrance that appealed to both men and women. This is hard to do as most of our 18 fragrances primarily appeal to one gender.
One word of caution: Many fragrances have a mixture of organic and synthetic ingredients. If you add any odor encapsulant to fragrances with a blend of organic and synthetic ingredients, you will end up with a different fragrance.
Our odor encapsulant is a group of ingredients highlighting a zinc salt as the actual odor encapsulant. In our product mix, you will find that the price of the product varies primarily based on the level of concentration of the odor encapsulant.
The success of this odor encapsulant has led us to add it to other formulas like urine and smoke odor treatments. Our core group of urine removal products uses the same fragrance with an odor encapsulant, like a urine neutralizer, bacteria, and enzyme solutions. This group completes the job with one pleasant fragrance remaining after the job is done. A potpourri of different fragrances is not as appealing to the customer as one unified great fragrance in the products used.
If you are not eliminating organic odors every day, then you need to add odor encapsulants to your product mix. Avoid potpourri fragrances, which may be considered by some as a malodor. Do not replace urine odors with an accidental fragrance or with a strong fragrance that permeates the house. Manage the process to remove the urine odors and replace them with a pleasant fragrance that lingers in the house for only a few days.
