AIMED AT: Those who want to take the travel stink out of their clothes.
HOW MUCH: $29.95.
BUT DOES IT WORK? Admit it: You’ve been tempted to “forget” your sweaty sightseeing socks or T-shirts in a hotel room. Or maybe toss them into the Haleakala volcano. An alternative to doing laundry every third day is to bag your clothes — in the deodorizer satchel. The Velcro-closed sack, which comes in three sizes, is lined with activated charcoal, known to soak up smells. To work properly, the company says to leave the item in the bag for hours or even days.
We kept our clothes in the large pouch overnight and awoke to a near-miracle: Our threads went from smelling like a locker room to scent-free soap. What, you were expecting spring morning dew? You’re supposed to expose only one item at a time, but with our laundry piling up, we weren’t so patient. We stuffed everything into the bag, and while our clothes didn’t smell like daisies at the end of the trip, we didn’t have to fumigate our house afterward.

The Flat-D Universal Deodorizer Bag is available through the company at 866-354-0056,
The Universal Deodorizer is for those who travel and need to isolate smelly clothes from clean ones. Another use is when you go to a bar that has smoking and you go home and your clothes smell like smoke. You put your clothes in a www.universaldeodorizer.com Clothing Carrier and it absorbs the smoke odor out of your clothes.
Do you have smelly shoes, put them in a Utility Satchel and it will make them smell like new again. Give it a try.
