Your Winter Odor Survival Guide
Dec 4th 2025
ZORBX Unscented Odor Remover is a solution for the season when you can't just open a window. ZORBX is a healthier alternative to overwhelming perfumed sprays and candles in close quarters. The benefit of using ZORBX is a fresh, clean, and welcoming home during the coziest—and most odor-prone—time of the year. Here are some of the best ways you can use ZORBX during this winter season.
- Combat "Stuffy House Syndrome" & Lingering Cooking Odors
- The Problem: Homes are sealed tight against the cold, trapping odors from constant cooking (holiday meals, soups, stews), fireplaces, and general stuffiness.
- ZORBX Solution:
- After Cooking: Spray a light mist over the kitchen area (counters, near trash can, curtains) and in the air to neutralize deep smells like grease, fish, or burnt food.
- Fireplace/Wood Stove Smell: Spray on upholstered furniture near the fireplace and on curtains to eliminate that clinging smoke smell. Can be used on the exterior of hearth rugs (after testing for colorfastness).
- Daily Refresh: Lightly mist living areas in the morning to clear overnight stuffiness.
- Eradicate Wet Wool & Gear Smell
- The Problem: Boots, gloves, snow pants, hats, and scarves get damp and develop a persistent, musty "wet dog" smell.
- ZORBX Solution:
- Gear Storage Area: Spray inside boots and shoes, and lightly mist gear after use before storing in closets or mudrooms.
- On Fabric: Spray on damp wool coats or synthetic gear (after spot testing) and allow to dry. The odor is eliminated, not masked with perfume.
- Mudroom/Entryway: Regularly spray the floor mat and the air in this high-traffic odor zone.
- Neutralize Holiday-Specific Odors
- The Problem: Holiday trash (discarded wrapping paper, food scraps), live trees, and large gatherings create unique smells.
- ZORBX Solution:
- Christmas Tree Stand Water: Add a small amount of ZORBX to the tree stand water to prevent that stagnant, sour water smell.
- Trash Cans & Recycling Bins: Post-holiday cleanup is smelly. Spray directly into bags and on the interior of cans.
- Guest Rooms & Bathrooms: Prep rooms before guests arrive by spraying carpets, upholstery, and in the air. A quick post-visit spray removes lingering personal odors.
- Solve Car & Travel Odors
- The Problem: Salt, slush, wet floor mats, and fast-food wrappers make the car a winter odor disaster zone.
- ZORBX Solution:
- Floor Mats & Upholstery: Spray directly on fabric seats and rubber/ fabric floor mats to kill odors from salt and moisture.
- Air Vents: With the fan on low, spray a light mist toward the air intake (usually at the base of the windshield) to circulate odor eliminator through the HVAC system.
- Spills: Quickly address hot chocolate or coffee spills on seats or carpets.
- Handle Pet Accidents & "Wet Dog" Smell Indoors
- The Problem: Pets track in snow and salt, have more accidents if they don't want to go outside, and their coats can smell from dampness.
- ZORBX Solution:
- Accidents: The primary use. Spray thoroughly on the affected area (carpet, hardwood, tile) to eliminate the urine enzymes, not just the smell.
- Pet Beds & Blankets: Spray on beds and washable blankets between launders to keep them fresh.
- Drying Towels: Lightly spray the towels you use to dry off your pet to keep them from getting funky.
