Apparatus and methods for deodorizing and/or freshening the air are disclosed.
In one non-limiting embodiment, the apparatus includes one or more passive members
and an air moving member. The passive member can be detachable from the air moving
member and used separately as a passive filter member, if it contains a deodorizing
substance, or as a passive emitting member, if it contains a substance to be emitted
into the air. Numerous combinations of passive filter members and passive emitting
members can be used with the air moving member, or as stand-alone members in the
described methods. In other non-limiting embodiments, devices can be provided that
both deodorize and emit substances into the air. Kits are also provided. The substances
to be emitted may be arranged in various ways to improve the amount of exposed
surface area of the substance to be emitted. Intensity controlling mechanisms are
also provided.
