Chlorine dioxide is a gas that is the most effective ever identified. When produced properly, it is the safest product to use in all applications. Because it’s not bleach, it doesn’t use chlorine in the process of reacting with smells. It’s been used in our municipal drinking water processing plants for years. Chlorine dioxide is a non-persistent selective oxidizer that is extremely reactive (oxidative) when produced. But also, due to this reactivity it rapidly loses its effectiveness. Because of this reactivity it destroys odors instantly.

Chlorine dioxide has been around for years, however methods for “releasing” or “activating” chlorite sources are not user friendly. In fact, almost all industrial and commercial methods use acid conversion or electrical. The Whiff! method is as simple as squeezing a trigger sprayer.

Yes, it’s both safe and non-toxic. It’s also environmentally safe and recyclable.

All chlorine dioxide starts with sodium chlorite which is activated to become chlorine dioxide. There are many types of chemicals that contain chlorine, such as table salt, chemically called sodium chloride (NaCl). Pool chlorine is sodium hypochlorite or hypochlorous acid. Whiff! uses chlorite, which is not like any of these.

ReliOx Corporation’s six U.S. Patents ensure that the inventions covered by these patents have been rigorously examined and found to be unique and worthy of patent protection. No other company or person can legally produce products based on ReliOx technology.

The technology used in Whiff! received a national CADE award. This demonstrated the evolution of the technology into commercially viable products. This “inventivity” is a big step for the technology and has opened the door to opportunities for many applications in industries that struggle with safe and easy access to aqueous chlorine dioxide.

Enzymes are biological compounds that increase the speed at which other smelly biological substances, like starches, oils, fats, and proteins, break down, so you can wipe away messes easily. Enzyme alternatives attempt to change the odor causing elements into non or less odiferous elements, but an odor often remains. It’s up to you to determine if the odor continues to be offensive.

Whiff! uses ReliOx technology which was developed under grant from the United States Department of Defense. The technology uses and follows all 12 of the green chemistry principles in its research, development and production.

Green chemistry reduces toxicity, minimizes waste, saves energy, and cuts down on the depletion of natural resources. It allows for advances in chemistry to occur in a much more environmentally benign way. Read More

Whiff! is currently available in convenient 16-ounce spray generators.
