Multi-Use Odor Eliminators

Zep Freshen Doesn't Mask Household Odors, It Tackles the Source

Zep Freshen is a new range of odor-eliminating solutions for the home, designed to tackle everyday household odors at the source, not just mask them. These odor eliminators are made for busy households and work on hard and soft surfaces to apply advanced odor-neutralizing technology exactly where it's needed.

“Consumers don’t want products that simply cover odors—they want solutions that truly eliminate them,” said Lauren Houser, Vice President of Marketing at Zep. Beyond Zep Freshen Multi-Use Odor Eliminator & Cleaners, the lineup includes Disinfectant Concentrates, Odor Eliminating Gel Crystals, a Pet Odor Absorber powered by activated charcoal, and a Natural Rock Odor Magnet, made with natural volcanic zeolite rocks to absorbs odors and moisture without added fragrance.
