How FunkOFF Mineral Deodorizer Pouches Work

The Science of Fragrance-Free Deodorizing

Most deodorizing products don't get rid of bad odors. They cover them up. Air fresheners, sprays and scented inserts flood your gear and closets with heavy perfume, and you end up with perfume plus funk. Liquid sprays also add moisture to warm, closed spaces, which is exactly where odors build.

FunkOFF takes the opposite approach. Instead of adding perfume or moisture, each pouch absorbs moisture and odor, keeping your gear dry and fragrance-free.

1. How It Works: Absorbing Moisture and Odor

Odor isn't just a smell. It's made of real molecules in the air, like the sour compounds from sweat and the ammonia from litter boxes. Many of them ride on moisture. FunkOFF pouches work on both at once:

Pulling Out Moisture

The natural minerals in each pouch act like a desiccant. They draw moisture out of shoe linings, bag fabrics and closed containers, so damp spaces dry out and the odors riding on that moisture go with it.

Trapping Odor Molecules

Baking soda and activated carbon have a huge amount of surface area packed into a small space, full of tiny pores. As air moves around the pouch, odor molecules get pulled into those pores and held there instead of floating back into the room.

2. Why Absorbing Beats Spraying

3. How to Use Them

  1. Place: Drop a pouch into each shoe, boot, boxing glove, gym bag or pet area right after use. Each twin pack comes with 2 pouches.
  2. Wait: Allow up to 12 hours for full deodorizing of the space. Air passes through the breathable fabric, and the blend inside absorbs the moisture and odor.
  3. Replace: No solar recharge needed. A pouch lasts up to 90 days in everyday spaces like refrigerators, closets and glove boxes, and up to 30 days in extreme spots like litter boxes, shoes and athletic gear. When the odor starts coming back, swap in a fresh one.

4. Natural and Simple

  • Zero Fragrance: Made for people and pets who want things to smell like nothing, not artificial flowers or mint.
  • All Natural: Natural minerals, baking soda and activated carbon. No sprays, no propellants, no added scents.
  • Eco Friendly: The pouches are 100% biodegradable, and they're made in Colorado.
