Defunkify General Information

Description

Manufacturer of odor-control products intended to permanently block tough smells from entering athletic shirts and other clothing. The company's products utilize nano-engineered coatings that consist of a detergent prewash system that removes the buildup that causes persistent odors and a two-part fabric treatment that prevents stink from returning, enabling users to wear clothes several times before they ever need to be washed.
