The organic polymer almost certainly works by binding to dust and other allergen particles and preventing them from passing through your mucous membranes.

The "odor eliminator" bit scares me: it may be derived from corn, but there's probably a whole lot of other steps inbetween there. And of course the fragrance will probably be some kind of gunk.

The thing is, what exactly are we doing when we "deodarize"? You can't make particles disappear, so either you are masking their odor by introducing a higher concentration of molecules that smell "good"...OR you are binding to the odor-causing particles to prevent us from smelling them. I'm pretty sure the first one is worse, but I'm still not sold on the second one.

Anyways, interesting about the vodka. I wonder how long the effect lasts, since alcohol tends to evaporate pretty quickly. Maybe that's why they spray the stuff so liberally, lol.

Well, glad to know I'm not the only one who reacted that way to the commercial. I mean, how stinky do you have to be to want to spray that stuff on everything, every day? lol
