How to Eliminate the Real Source of Unpleasant Odors in Your Home or Business
The Truth About Bad Odors
We’ve all experienced it—walking into a room only to be met with a smell that makes you want to walk right back out. Whether it's the lingering stench of last night's fish, a musty closet, pet accidents, or bathroom odors, bad smells are more than just a nuisance—they leave a lasting impression.
If you're a homeowner, it can make your space feel uncomfortable. If you’re a business owner, it can turn away customers before you even get a chance to greet them. In either case, persistent odors are a sign of something deeper—and no amount of spraying a "mountain breeze" scent into the air is going to solve it.
Why Air Fresheners Are Actually Part of the Problem
We’ve been conditioned by advertising and habit to grab an air freshener when something smells off. But most air fresheners don't eliminate the problem—they just cover it up. Worse, they often introduce a host of health risks.
Many conventional air fresheners contain harmful ingredients like:
- Formaldehyde – a known carcinogen
- Toluene – linked to reproductive harm
- Phthalates – associated with hormone disruption
- Synthetic fragrances – which often include dozens of undisclosed and untested chemicals
Even “natural” or “green” air fresheners are not always safe. Most essential oils used in these products are extremely concentrated chemical compounds. In some cases, the emissions from “natural” air fresheners were found to be just as toxic as their synthetic counterparts.
According to research from the University of Massachusetts, even low exposure to air freshener chemicals has been associated with:
- Asthma attacks
- Migraines
- Skin irritation
- Hormonal disruption
- Neurological symptoms in sensitive individuals
- The Rise of Fragrance Sensitivities
More people than ever are experiencing fragrance allergies—itchy skin, rashes, headaches, sneezing fits, or even full-blown asthma attacks after exposure to perfumes or scented products. As the concentrations of synthetic and natural fragrances increase, so does the risk to our health.
So What’s Actually Causing the Odor?
The root cause of many odors isn’t the item itself—it’s the bacteria feeding on it.
Odor-causing bacteria break down organic material like food, sweat, pet waste, or moisture, and release volatile compounds that we perceive as nasty smells. If you only mask the odor and leave the bacteria behind, the smell will return.
The Solution: Kill the Bacteria, Not Your Air Quality
There’s a powerful, non-toxic way to eliminate odors at the source—a solution that’s so safe, your own body already makes it.
Introducing: Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl)
Hypochlorous is the molecule your white blood cells naturally produce to fight infection and destroy harmful bacteria. It’s a gentle, fast-acting disinfectant with no toxic residues—and now it’s available in bottled form, thanks to The Hypochlorous Company.
We mimic your body’s immune system by converting pure salt and water into HOCl, then stabilizing it with natural minerals for shelf life. The result is a ready-to-use spray that’s:
- Safe to inhale, touch, and ingest
- Non-irritating to eyes, skin, and lungs
- USDA Certified Organic
- EPA Registered as a Broad-Spectrum Disinfectant
Hypochlorous and Pet Odors: A Game-Changer for Pet Parents
Let’s face it—pets are part of the family, but they come with their own signature smells. From litter boxes and dog beds to occasional accidents and that infamous "wet dog" odor, pet smells can linger in your home no matter how clean it looks.
The problem? These odors are caused by bacteria and organic compounds in pet urine, dander, saliva, and fur.
The solution? Hypochlorous doesn’t just mask the smell like pet deodorizers or carpet sprays—it eliminates it at the bacterial level. It breaks down the compounds in urine and pet waste that cause the foul odor and kills the microbes that make it linger.
You can safely spray it:
- On carpets, rugs, and upholstery
- Inside litter boxes and crates
- On pet beds, toys, and food areas
- In the air to eliminate lingering pet smells
And best of all, it’s 100% pet-safe. You won’t need to worry about your furry friend walking, licking, or rolling around on treated areas. In fact, some vets even use hypochlorous for wound care in animals—it’s that gentle and that trusted.
With Hypochlorous, your home can be pet-friendly and fresh-smelling—without chemicals that harm your animal companions.
What Hypochlorous Can Do for You
HOCl does more than eliminate odors caused by bacteria. It also neutralizes stubborn smells from organic compounds, like:
- Fish, garlic, and cooking smells
- Smoke from cigarettes or cigars
- Sweat and body odor
- Bathroom and diaper odors
- Pet accidents, wet dog smell, and cat urine
- Moldy, musty odors from moisture buildup
By applying HOCl to the affected area—or diffusing it into the air—you’re not just hiding the odor. You're eliminating the bacteria or compounds that caused it in the first place.
How to Use It
Spray it directly onto surfaces, fabrics, trash bins, pet areas, or into the air. It’s safe enough to use around children and pets—and even on skin.
Use a cool mist humidifier to treat the air continuously in your home or business. Just fill the humidifier with undiluted HOCl and let it run for a few hours a day (or on a timer). Customers report that their homes and spaces stay fresh-smelling and noticeably cleaner.
Important: Do not dilute the product, especially for misting. The pH level is crucial to maintaining its full antimicrobial and odor-fighting power.
Bonus: When used in the air, HOCl doesn’t just handle odors—it also kills airborne bacteria and viruses, including those that cause the common cold, flu, and even COVID-19.
Not All HOCl Is Created Equal
With HOCl’s rise in popularity, many knockoffs and unstable formulas have flooded the market. But most don’t meet the high safety and efficacy standards set by regulatory agencies.
Only The Hypochlorous Company offers a product that is:
- EPA-Registered
- USDA Certified Organic
- Produced with consistent purity, stability, and transparency
- Free from additives, stabilizers, or synthetic preservatives
When you choose our product, you’re choosing a product made to the same standards your body uses to protect itself.
