Odor-Controlling Detergents

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The 'DeFUNKit' Washing Detergent Prevents Garments from Holding Odors

— May 13, 2016 — Lifestyle
The rise in popularity of fitness activities like yoga has many consumers participating in healthy activities multiple times a week, so 'DeFUNKit' washing detergent is designed to increase workout clothing wear.

When used on workout clothing, 'DeFUNKit' will work to permeate the fibers of the garments and coat them with a specialized substance that will prevent odors from accumulating. This can allow users to wear their workout clothes multiple times without worrying that they'll have a foul odor.

Developed by scientists and chemists from the University of Oregon, the 'DeFUNKit' washing detergent is not a replacement for regular detergent, but rather a specialized treatment. It can allow users to wear garments up to seven times before needing to wash them, which in turn can help reduce the need to do laundry to save water and energy.
Trend Themes
1. Odor-controlling Detergents - The 'DeFUNKit' washing detergent prevents garments from holding odors.
2. Eco-friendly Laundry - The use of 'DeFUNKit' washing detergent can allow for fewer wash cycles and less use of water and energy.
3. Athletic Apparel Care - The rise in popularity of fitness activities has created a need for specialized treatments like 'DeFUNKit' washing detergent to help increase workout clothing wear.
Industry Implications
1. Laundry Detergent - Companies in the laundry detergent industry could develop and market specialized products like 'DeFUNKit' washing detergent to meet the needs of athletic apparel wearers.
2. Athletic Apparel - The use of specialized treatments like 'DeFUNKit' washing detergent could become a standard feature in the athletic apparel industry to help prolong the lifespan of garments and improve customer satisfaction.
3. Sustainability - The development and use of 'DeFUNKit' washing detergent can contribute to a more sustainable future by reducing water and energy consumption associated with laundry cycles.
