Pocket-Sized Car Fresheners

The Car Plug-In Air Purifier Eliminates Foul Odors at the Source

— July 28, 2017 — Autos
Consumers may now recreate the sensation and excitement of a fresh new car with the the Car Plug-In Air Purifier -- a pocket-sized air freshener that helps to maintain that "new car smell."

Unlike most air purifiers, this product attacks foul odors from the root, instead of just masking the smell. With a built-in ionizer, the freshener can eliminate lingering cigarette smoke or the smell of an old gym bag within seconds. This small, pocket-sized device even neutralizes dust, dander, bacteria and pollen, serving as a useful car accessory for those who suffer from allergies.

The device plugs into a car's power outlet the same way an electric lighter would. This brilliant car accessory is ideal for those who partake in long road trips or those who wish to eliminate unsavory smells from the source.

3. Health and Wellness - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Health and wellness brands can market air purifiers and ionizing products as solutions for clean and allergen-free air, making it easier for individuals with allergies and sensitivities to breathe comfortably.
