Annoying refrigerator odor? Offensive litter box odor? Fridge-It and its’ family of activated carbon odor absorbers is your answer!

Activated Carbon Air FreshenerI recently moved into a rental house and like so many others, found that once the smell of fresh paint wore off, the house had a few surprises for me. This included a refrigerator that no matter how much I cleaned it, still had a wet, musty smell inside as well as a lingering odor of cat urine in the family room. After trying many different products to get rid of the odors I was ready to chip in on a new fridge and replace the carpet. I was getting headaches from the fragranced air fresheners I was using and I could STILL smell the offensive odors underneath!

That’s when a friend of mine gave me a 2-pack of Fridge-It Cube odor eliminators. I thought she was joking when she said that these little purple cubes worked better at eliminating odors than any candles, powders or sprays. She explained that the fridge-it cube isn’t designed to cover up odors, it’s filled with activated carbon which is designed to trap the particles that make up offensive smells within the cube so that they are removed from the air completely and permanently. I did my homework and found this video which explains how activated carbon works to adsorb odor particles:

Armed with an education, I hung one cube in the back of my fridge near the air vent, and another underneath a side-table in the worst corner of my family room. Within an hour or so my refrigerator smelled like new! The family room took about a day to lose the odor since it was a larger space, but I was absolutely floored! These little purple cubes had saved me a lot of time, money, headaches, and hassle!

I followed the name on the cube and found that the Fridge-It cubes are available online at www.innofresh.com and are generally inexpensive at about $20 a six-pack. They have a whole line of odor absorbers for your home, pets, cars and more.

Haagen-Dazs helps fund research to reverse the effects of bee colony collapse disorder

Vanilla Honeybee Ice Cream

Scientists and farmers alike have made it clear that there is a severe shortage of honeybees in nature, and have pegged the phenomenon “bee colony collapse disorder”. Some sources blame radio and cellular tower signals while others blame pesticides and disease. Now beekeepers are struggling to keep up with the demand to cart their bee colonies from one agricultural spread to another in order to keep crops sufficiently polinated“According to Haagen-Dazs, one-third of the U.S. food supply - including a variety of fruits, vegetables and even nuts - depends on pollination from bees. Haagen-Dazs, which is owned by General Mills, said bees are actually responsible for 40% of its 60 flavors - such as strawberry, toasted pecan and banana split.”(read more)

Haagen Dazs is donating $250,000 to two universities to fund research into the bee colony collapse disorder. They also are launching out a new flavor this spring called Vanilla Honey Bee, and part of the sales will go to helping with researching the honeybees.

Haagen-Dazs has also put out a website called “Help the Honeybees“, which has some interesting facts and information on the Honeybee, and how you can help.

“This is the first time that Haagen-Dazs has adopted a cause like this,” said Pien. “We are taking this very, very seriously because it impacts not just our brand but the entire food industry.”
