The Defunkify Odor Remover utilizes a specialized suspension of ionic silver and essential oils to create a secondary barrier against odors on athletic gear and shoes. The 16 oz HDPE bottles are built with sufficient wall thickness to handle being tossed in a gym bag, and the formula is safe for high-performance textiles like GORE-TEX. Unlike standard enzymatic cleaners, the ionic silver adds a layer of support for maintaining fresh-smelling fabrics over multiple uses.
There are specific handling requirements for this product to ensure it remains functional. Because the silver particles can settle or precipitate, giving the bottle a vigorous shake before every use is a necessary practical step to prevent the nozzle from clogging. Additionally, the essential oil concentration can soften plastic parts over a long period; keeping the bottle in a cool, dark place helps maintain the integrity of the trigger assembly and the stability of the colloidal suspension. While it features a non-toxic profile, the cost-per-ounce is higher than basic cleaners, reflecting the more complex chemical makeup.
