Here’s how to get rid of bad smells once and for all! Neuroscientists say humans can distinguish 10,000 scents, though we don’t have names for a lot of them. Our sense of smell—the olfactory sense—brings depth and emotional richness to daily life. Think about the feelings and memories that flow when you catch a whiff of fresh-cut grass or lilacs in bloom, bury your face in a sun-dried bed sheet just off the line, or enter the kitchen just as a cinnamon-rich apple pie emerges from the oven. Our olfactory system also alerts us to potential dangers: spoiled food, rot and decay, harmful molds. Most American homes contain a variety of sprays, plug-ins, stick-ons, scented candles, and other products designed to mask or remove bad odors. However, many people suffer allergic reactions to the fragrances in some of these products, and some air fresheners even contain toxins. Yet a few inexpensive household essentials you probably have on hand already—vinegar, salt, coffee, baking soda, hydrogen peroxide—will neutralize most noxious odors around your home and in your vehicles. HOW TO GET RID OF BAD SMELLS To perfume the air naturally, cut a lemon in half and set the cut halves in an inconspicuous place, or rub a bit of vanilla on a light bulb Most folks know that keeping an open box of plain baking soda in the refrigerator will neutralize bad odors. Sprinkle some into the bottom of the trash can and into the trash bag itself for similar results. During nice weather, just open the windows! Let fresh air blow through and push out bad smells. Half a cup of baking soda in two quarts of water and a soft cloth or brush also work well for cleaning the fridge, as well as scrubbing down and freshening the tub, tiles, sinks, drains, trash cans, and toilet bowls. For stronger disinfecting properties, scrub with a strong vinegar solution. Fresh or leftover coffee grounds will also absorb unpleasant odors in a fridge, microwave, or cupboard. They’ll also sweeten the air inside your car or its trunk. For use in the car, place the grounds in a covered plastic container with holes punched in the lid. Coffee grounds Boil two parts water with one part vinegar in a microwave-safe container to remove bad smells from your microwave. The vinegar smell itself dissipates quickly. Add half a cup of vinegar to a quart of water and allow to simmer on the stove for a few minutes. This will remove smell of burnt food and many other odors from your kitchen (and burned-on food from your stainless steel pots.) Soak a piece of bread in vinegar and set it overnight in a lunchbox or wastebasket to remove built-up food odors. Grind leftover citrus rinds in your garbage disposal to sweeten it. Or dump half a cup of salt down the drain and turn on the disposal. This loosens caked-on food and helps neutralize odor. You can get most smells out of carpets, rugs, and upholstery (including vehicle interiors) by sprinkling liberally with baking soda. Leave the baking soda in place for several hours, then vacuum or shake it out. Human/pet urine or vomit on carpets and upholstery can be trickier. If you can get at it immediately, blot first with a towel, then spray the area with a 3-parts cold water/1-part vinegar solution and blot (but don’t rub). Repeat several times if needed, until the smell disappears. The vinegar odor will dissipate in a few hours. Vinegar Old-timers swear by this method for removing set-in odors and stains from carpets and upholstery. It works especially well on pet urine and skunk smells. You might want to test for color-fastness by soaking a small, inconspicuous area with the solution and leaving it for 24 hours before you treat the area with the stain. Put on a pair of rubber or latex gloves. Gently mix a quart of 3 percent hydrogen peroxide, a quarter-cup of baking soda, and a teaspoon of liquid soap in a plastic container. Don’t mix far in advance or store in a closed container. Pour or spray the solution directly onto affected areas and allow to sit for 24 hours before blotting excess liquid. Allow to air dry. Veterinarians also recommend the above recipe for bathing a pet that’s been skunked. After making the solution, massage it into the animal’s fur, then let it sit for 5–10 minutes. Rinse with warm water. If you suspect a mold problem in your home, don’t rely on simply scrubbing down the area with bleach or masking the odor with air fresheners. Some mold damage may require professional removal services. Beyond their unpleasant odors, molds and mildews can present special indoor health hazards beyond the scope of this post to describe. Some people are sensitive to certain kinds of indoor molds. Need more advice? Here’s how to get rid of body odor and home remedies for pets. Did we miss any of your favorite tried-and-true solutions?

  • Airocide Clean air in hospitals and clinics helps protect patients and staff The improvement of air quality in hospitals, clinics and other health-care settings is a vital constituent of modern airborne hygiene procedures. It is also of importance with regard to occupational health and safety requirements in medical institutions. Air cleaning provides a healthier and more pleasant environment for patients, staff and visitors. It also makes economic sense due to its relevance as a preventative infection control measure. Air filtration requirements vary by department The air quality requirements in health-care settings vary from department to department and often even from room to room. Some areas will require high-efficiency filtration of airborne microorganisms to protect patients, staff and visitors (e.g. in operation suites, Intensive Care Units (ICU) and Tuberculosis (TB) isolation rooms), whereas other areas require the filtration of gaseous contaminants, chemicals and odors to provide a safer and more pleasant working environment (e.g., in laboratories, autopsy rooms, dental surgery rooms, pharmacies). The control of airborne microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses and fungal spores, is of major importance in medical settings due to the fact that a number of diseases and infections can be transmitted by airborne pathogens. Infections are a concern Of particular concern are nosocomial (hospital-acquired) infections. They can have serious consequences in terms of increased patient mortality, morbidity, length of hospital stay and overall costs. Immunocompromised patients (such as organ and bone-marrow transplant recipients, oncology and hematology patients) are especially at risk as their immune systems are more vulnerable to infectious pathogens such as aspergillus. IQAir stand-alone air cleaners have been shown to cut hospital aspergillosis infections by more than 50%. Also, IQAir's Cleanroom H13 air cleaner has been shown to reduce Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) contamination. IQAir also offers environmental control of chemical compounds and odors through filtration of ambient air, creation of pressure differentials (containment of chemical compounds and unpleasant odors through negative pressure areas) and through source capture (capture and filtration of chemical compounds and unpleasant odors at their source).
    No filters. No cleaning. No kidding.

Because the technology in these systems was developed by NASA, they are not filtering systems and produce no harmful byproducts like ozone; they are superior to any other air sanitation systems on the market. The AiroCide technology is used to provide clean air in a variety of industries including medical health-care, dentistry, research, Pharmaceuticals, perishable foods, beverages, Flower preservation etc. AiroCide® is green. It improves the overall air quality in nearly any environment and does so without producing any harmful byproducts. The technology claims are backed by independent third parties clinical such as Texas Tech University (destruction of mycotoxins), NASA (eliminated Anthrax), National Energy Renewable Laboratory (zero ozone emission), Texas A&M (peer publish reviewed paper - killed MRSA) as well as a host of others. AiroCide® is a patented air sanitation technology combines two known pathogen-killing techniques, Photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) and ultraviolet light to destroy harmful airborne microbes. A titanium dioxide photocatalyst is used in the PCO process. These active elements will oxidize VOC's and kill and decompose airborne pathogens. The PCO process used in AiroCide air purifying systems is truly innovative & unmatched. AiroCide® is a listed medical FDA Class II device. The product application of the air sanitation technology is vast, ranging from medical-healthcare to many commercial, government and research applications for infection control. Each market segment has specific customer needs and different product requirements, however all are based around the need for a pathogen-free, healthy-air work and microbe free environment. Airocide Provides 99.9998% clean air. Numerous air purification applications exist in both institutional and private practice healthcare settings with several identified as eliminating cross contamination of airborne diseases and pathogens. Healthcare applications like pediatricians' clinics, immuno-compromised areas of specialty and critical care and needs for isolating patients all benefit from clean air. This is because AiroCide eliminates any biological material - regardless of size - that comes in contact with its proprietary matrix, oxidizing the organic matter thereby releasing only crisp clean fresh air. The technology has shown meaningful reductions in infections and diseases causing in healthcare applications such as operating theaters, Intensive Care Units (ICU's) resulting in lower post operative infections and nosocomial diseases.

The science of AiroCide® Contaminated air is drawn into the AiroCide system by the fan. It passes over the reactor bed where it is immobilized on the TiO2 catalyst and treated with UV-light until it is completely broken down to gaseous products. The combination of TiO2 catalyst and UV-light has been shown to destroy hydrocarbon bonds in allergens, airborne organisms and VOC’s. The system will significantly reduce allergen levels and micro organism numbers with a single passage through the PCO + UVGI oxidation process, but since it is designed for constant operation a sustained reduction is maintained. Bad odours are also removed. This technology is the first to utilise complementary bactericidal methods (UVGI and PCO) to oxidise the organic matter of whole cells to carbon dioxide and water vapour. Studies have demonstrated the complete destruction of bacteria, virus, fungi, moulds and spores, by detecting radio-labelled carbon from cells in CO2 produced by the AiroCide. The system PRODUCES NO OZONE and is NOT A FILTER. This distinguishes the AiroCide from other systems such as HEPA filters or Ozone Production Units. The purpose of HEPA filters is to filter the air that is positively introduced to the clean area. HEPA (or any other air) filters do not improve the quality of the air once the air is in the room. In the absence of personnel, in this at rest state the room will have a filtered-quality air with minimal airborne organisms.

AiroCide completely destroys (mineralizes) airborne bacteria, mold, fungi, viruses, volatile organic compounds (VOC's like ethylene gas) & many organic odors. The AiroCide® photocatalytic air purifying systems are the only air purifiers that completely destroy airborne bacteria, mold, fungi, mycotoxins, viruses, volatile organic compounds (VOC's) & odors. The NASA technology is the perfect solution for reducing produce shrink and perishable shrink; as well as increasing quality assurance and food safety efforts. Unlike other air cleaning products, AiroCide PPT air purifiers have no filters to change and do not put any harmful chemicals or byproducts into the air, like ozone or 03 - making them safe for all applications even organic produce. The AiroCide technology dramatically reduces the concentration of harmful VOC’s like ethylene gas and kills airborne food spoilage microbes like e. coli and salmonella. The patented technology used in AiroCide combines two known pathogen-killing techniques, photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) and ultraviolet (UV) light to destroy harmful airborne microbes. AiroCide produces no ozone and is not a filter. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is the photocatalyst used in the AiroCide product. A unique and proprietary process is used to create the patented TiO2 formula. When this material is irradiated with ultraviolet light, strong oxidizing agents called hydroxyl radicals and super-oxide ions are formed. These agents enable AiroCide to kill/remove/eliminate airborne pathogenic and non-pathogenic microorganisms in vegetative and spore states (bacteria, mold & fungi, viruses and dust mites), allergens, odors and harmful volatile organic compounds (VOC's ). Because the organic material is completely oxidized by this process, the photocatalytic reactor is self-cleaning relative to organic material on the catalyst surface. AiroCide's patented technology combines two known pathogen-killing techniques, Photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) and 254 nanometer light to destroy harmful airborne microbes. An aqueous solution of Titanium dioxide (TiO2) the photocatalyst used in the AiroCide product us used to permanently coat tiny glass tubes that are randomly arranged within the reaction chamber. When TiO2 is excited with the photons from the high intensity 254 nanometer lamps inside, hydroxyl radicals (OH -) pop up from the surface ready to mineralize (reduce the organics they contact into carbon dioxide and water). AiroCide changes the molecular structure of the organic matter it contacts into water vapor and CO2. Nothing else remains. No ash, no Ozone, no other byproducts. No cleaning. No filters containing dangerous bacteria to change. Just clean air. Key Features: No Ozone Not a Filtering System Easy to Install - Inexpensive to Operate. No Costly Clean Ups. Low Maintenance Self-Cleaning, No Harmful By Products Safe, Operates 24/7 Low Energy Requirement Eliminates Gaseous Chemicals, VOC's and Odors Not Effected by Humidity Compatible with Existing Airflow Systems Enhances Air Mixing with HVAC System The AiroCide® Air Purifying Technology was proven to kill 99.999987% of Bacillus thuringiensis, a close cousin to the anthrax bacteria, in a single pass through its reactor Among other bacteria, fungi and viruses, photocatalytic oxidation technology kills airborne Lactobacillus, which can be a problem in wine, beer and other beverage and food processing facilities.

NASA had a problem.
Transporting man into deep space has a variety of challenges. Chief among them is a sustainable food supply. But a space  Garden is more complex than it seems. Why? Because of ethylene gas. In a sealed environment – like a spacecraft – ethylene build-up is toxic. So toxic in fact, that it kills the plants and vegetables it is meant to ripen. And so they turned to science.

 

Their Solution was elegant.
A unique air purification technology – Photocatalytic Oxidation. Requiring almost no maintenance. Producing no harmful by-products. And using no more power than a few 100-watt light bulbs.

 

And – it worked.
Now free of ethylene, the astronauts would have a sustainable food supply for their odyssey.

Healthcare Applies the Technology

Airocide technology was built for NASA, used in earth orbit and clinically tested by The University of Wisconsin, Texas Tech University, and Texas A&M University. The FDA  lists Airocide as a class II medical device. Simply put, Airocide has been proven to eliminate virtually 100% of all biological contaminants that enter its system – regardless of size. Airocide generates no ozone, it never needs cleaning and it uses no filters. Cost effective, energy efficient – and it works.
