Abstract:

The odor-removal composition includes a magnesium salt mixed in water at a concentration less than the solubility limit of magnesium salt. The odor-removal composition is preferably sprayed on a material that exhibits unwanted odors and in particular on fabric or hair that exhibits tobacco-smoke odors. The odor-removal composition may interact with substances that cause such odors to form molecules that have less foul odors or no odors.
