(NAPSI)—In the history of efforts to smell good, humans have tried all kinds of inventions. Ancient Egyptians placed scented cones of wax on their heads, while other cultures sipped rose water or chewed fennel seeds. Modern efforts at odor control have led people to “crop dust” their clothes in a haze of wet sprays that may even be worse than the problem they aim to solve.
For centuries, the only real solution to keeping clothes fresh was to launder, dry-clean or air them out for days. For most people, however, the demands of today’s busy lifestyles leave little time for such labor-intensive methods.
