After the storm: Getting rid of storm and hurricane odor.

How to control the odors after storms and hurricanes are big questions. The news of big hurricanes hitting the gulf coast year after year. Storm belts like Florida and Texas reminds me to tell you of the lessons learned about storm odor and odor control from Katrina survivors.  In talking with the manufacturer of Fridge It and Innofresh Odor Eliminator that hurricane disaster, they told me the numbers of calls for the Fridge It odor absorber cubes  and Innofresh Odor Eliminators doubled  That the demand from  new customers was so high they had to go into additional production for months after each storm.

The top reasons  to use a naturally activated charcoal odor absorbers is:

 1: It works by absorbing large amounts of odor into the porous charcoal. it is natures best odor absorbing material, carbon. Fridge It  odor absorbers have taken it and added advanced porous technology and air flow design for maximum odor absorption. 

Once the electric is back on and you clean out the refrigerator and freezer, it will still stink.  Thus they get many calls weeks and months after  major storm for Fridge It odor absorbers.

2: The activated charcoal traps odor and neutralizes air borne odor, it does not mask the odor with a scent or spray.

3: The Innofresh odor eliminators or the Fridge It Cube odor absorbers requires electricity, so it can be put to work absorbing odors right away, way before the electricity can be turned back on. Thus as you are waiting for the electricity in the heat, the odor absorbers can already we working for you.

4: It is non toxic and completely safe.  So is is good for those with allergies.

5: It is inexpensive for a Fridge It odor absorbers since each on is $5 for each cube or flat wafer.

6; Activated Carbon odor control does not mask the odor with a strong scent that may aggravate allergies.

7: It comes in two convenient sizes. 3″ x 3″ or 3 x1.5 , so you can use many as needed around the house , in the fridge, closet, garbage or garage and not have it seem obvious.

8: Each cube odor absorber will last 4 to 6 months, so this will keep on working for you. Each cube will absorb approx. 6 x 6 ft area.

9:  It successfully works on all kinds of odors: refrigerator odor and freezer smells, bad tasting ice,  garbage, smoke from cigarettes, food spills, pets, dead mouse smell and other damp and musty odors a hurricane will create. 

It  does not work on actual mold or items that have been wet and are water damaged or water soaked.  Seek professional help for those type of extractions. After the water has been extracted,  treated and a mold spray has been applied, then the use of additional odor absorbers are effective.

10: Protect what you have left. It works well when you use it in the plastic bags to protect and water proof your clothes. If your clothes are kept dry by bagging them, place an odor absorber in the sealed bag and your clothes will not pick up the storm odors. There are also smell from the clean up process and  you  want to protect your clothes, sheets, towels ect during the clean up process. Toss a Fridge It odor absorber cube or Innofresh wafer odor abosrber  eliminator into the plastic bag and sealed the bag with the clean clothes and they will stay dry and odor free. 

As your house, office or business dries out and before the odors start, put the non effected clothes and linens, toys and other things you do not want to damage in the dry out process in sealed bags with an odor absorber will prevent the odors from transferring to those items.
