The DfE label program recognizes effective products that reduce risk to users and to the environment. In order to determine the safety of such products, the DfE scientific review team screens each ingredient for potential dangers. The stamp is only granted to products that have been proven safe for both families and the environment.
Fresh Wave and Fresh Wave IAQ Crystal Gel uses only proprietary blends of plant oils and extracts to get rid of foul smells without the need for harsh chemicals or masking fragrances. When the formula is activated by airflow, it attracts, captures and eliminates odor molecules. Unlike most competing products, the Crystal Gel is non-toxic, non-hazardous, recyclable, non-aerosol and contains no harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
The Fresh Wave Crystal Gel works continuously to eliminate a variety of household smells, including must, smoke and pet odors. The product is sold in over 3,000 independent specialty retailers across the country, including Bed Bath & Beyond, Ace Hardware, True Value, Do It Best and Whole Foods.
The Fresh Wave IAQ Crystal Gel has been created specifically for commercial use and is especially effective at combating persistent odor problems. Companies such as Merry Maids, Jon-Don and ServiceMaster utilize this continuous-release solution to safely and efficiently get rid of lingering odors that affect their clients' homes and businesses.
"We are extremely proud that we can say the Crystal Gel has been recognized as a Design for the Environment product," said Philip M. Coffey, President and Managing Director of OMI Industries. "Passing the EPA's stringent testing and review process validates to consumers that we only manufacture the safest and most eco-friendly odor eliminating solutions."
