ODOUR REMOVER FRAGRANCE-FREE UNIQUE TECHNOLOGY

ODORKLENZ LAUNDRY ADDITIVE 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. Consumer products deploy a variety of technologies including: carbons, absorbents, enzymes, fragrances, talc, sodium carbonate, etc. to try to mitigate or mask the odour.

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

OdorKlenz® materials are environmentally safe and non-toxic nanocrystalline 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 numerous types of odorous chemicals that possess a variety of different functional groups. The increased surface area, unique physical morphology, high chemical reactivity, and functional porosity, all contribute to the enhanced chemical adsorption and odour neutralizing characteristics.

PERFECT FOR THE DAMAGE RESTORATION INDUSTRY Damage restoration companies often wash clothes for insurance companies’ customers after eg. fire/water damage.

Smell costs money Especially 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 insurance industry has to replace.

Several insurance customers suffer from allergies and chemical 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 containing 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 chemical 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.

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

OdorKlenz Laundry Additive is ideal for people suffering from contact 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.

Removing mildew odours from clothes was once a difficult task, but now you can safely remove musty odours from clothes and linens 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.

The technology neutralizes the odours instead of masking with perfumes like many detergents and additives, making it ideal for chemically sensitive people.

WHICH INGREDIENTS ARE ODORKLENZ MADE FROM? OdorKlenz® products are made from safe and effective earth minerals – magnesium oxide, magnesium hydroxide, zinc oxide and aluminum oxide – 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 neutralizers that are strong enough to eliminate stubborn odors, but gentle enough to use around your family and pets.

ODOUR REMOVER FRAGRANCE-FREE UNIQUE TECHNOLOGY

ODORKLENZ LAUNDRY ADDITIVE 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 refers 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 neutralization 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 increase 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.

ODORKLENZ LAUNDRY ADDITIVE USER GUIDE - BEST PRACTICES With 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 detergent. 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 directions as best as possible. The instructions are here for your convenience:

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.

Liquid version: Add Laundry Additive along with your regular detergent to eliminate odours from your laundry. For best results use with warm water. 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 washers.

• 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.

• 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.

Commercial washing machine 20 kg

AVOID:

• 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.

• 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.

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

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

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.

ODOUR REMOVER FRAGRANCE-FREE UNIQUE TECHNOLOGY

ODORKLENZ LAUNDRY ADDITIVE SOAKING PROCEDURE - RECOMMENDED BY STUBBORN ODOURS In some cases it can be beneficial to soak the clothing/textiles before 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 (1 to 2 scoops / 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.

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 additives. These counteract the efficacy of our 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.

ODORKLENZ

ODORKLENZ LAUNDRY ADDITIVE Inspired by people suffering from MCS, multiple chemical sensitivity The development of OdorKlenz products was inspired by people suffering from fragrance and chemical sensitivity, "Multiple Chemical Sensitivity" also abbreviated MCS. People suffering from MCS are especially sensitive to chemical pollutants 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

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

TYPES OF CHEMICALS OdorKlenz 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 release other chemicals that can trigger new symptoms.

• Chest pain

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.

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 declared in collaboration with Asthma Allergy Nordic.

ODORKLENZ LAUNDRY ADDITIVE Why buy products with The Asthma allergy nordic Label?

The international allergy label The Blue Label was founded in Denmark in the 1980s by the patient association Asthma-Allergy Denmark. A patient association that works towards making everyday life easier for people with allergies, hay fever, asthma and eczema.

WHAT CAUSES SKIN ALLERGY All substances can potentially cause skin allergy. But some substances cause skin allergy more frequently than others. Asthma Allergy Nordic impose requirements for those substances to be excluded from products that carry Asthma Allergy Nordic label.

THREE COUNTRIES. ONE TRUSTED LABEL. Asthma-Allergi Denmark has for many years collaborated with the Asthma-och Allergi förbundet in Sweden and the Norwegian Asthma-och Allergiforbund. In 2018, the three associations joined forces on a common allergy label: Asthma Allergy Nordic - AAN

This means, among other things, that the following substances may not be used in the products:

When you see the Asthma Allergy Nordic logo on a product you can be sure that the product contains no perfume and that AAN has done a critical assessment of the recipe. Products with the Asthma Allergy Nordic logo are considered beneficial for those who suffer from asthma, allergy or other sensitivity – and for everyone else who wants to avoid perfumes and allergens.

• Colophonium

To assess whether a product can carry Asthma Allergy Nordic label, the association require information about all the ingredients that are used in the product, as well as their concentration and function.

• Perfume - both natural and synthetic • The addition of formaldehyde and formaldehyde releasers • Kathon, MI and MCI

YOU CAN PREVENT CONTACT ALLERGY You run the risk of developing allergies to the substances you meet in your everyday life. Therefore you must avoid unnecessary substances in eg. your clothes, if you want to prevent contact allergy. Since perfume is one of the major risk factors, it is wise – especially for children – to avoid perfumed products.

Contact allergy is the only allergy that can be prevented. It therefore makes sense to use OdorKlenz to remove unnecessary chemicals from your laundry.
