The core components of deodorizing sprays can be divided into five categories according to their functions, and products in different scenarios will focus on different combinations of ingredients:
Core functional components
Biological enzymes: mainly composed of proteases, amylases, and lipases, they can directly target and decompose odor molecules, and break down odor causing organic compounds in urine stains, dandruff, and sweat from the source, rather than masking odors with fragrance. They are naturally biodegradable and gentler on the skin and environment.
Oxidation/Sterilization Category: Common hypochlorous acid, benzalkonium chloride, clopidogrel chloride, povidone iodine, etc., can quickly kill odor causing microorganisms by destroying bacterial cell membranes, with fast sterilization and deodorization speed, suitable for scenarios such as shoes, socks, and hard floors that require simultaneous disinfection and deodorization.
Sweat reducing and astringent agents: represented by aluminum chloride, aluminum hydroxide chloride, urotropin, and alum (potassium aluminum sulfate), they converge sweat gland ducts, reduce sweat secretion, and cut off the conditions for bacteria to decompose sweat and produce odor from the source. They are commonly used as deodorizing sprays for human body odor.
Plant extracts: citrus extract, eucalyptus oil, tea tree essential oil, menthol and other natural ingredients, with both refreshing and antibacterial effects, high safety and low irritation, suitable for immediate neutralization of shallow odors in daily life.

Auxiliary carrier components: ethanol/isopropanol is used as a solvent for rapid volatilization and auxiliary sterilization, essence is used to reconcile odor and mask residual odor, and physical adsorption components such as activated carbon and porous minerals can slow down the free odor molecules in the adsorption space.
Based on your previous concerns about the antifungal and deodorizing needs of shoes and socks, it is recommended to choose a spray that contains both biological enzymes and benzalkonium chloride/clopidogrel chloride. This spray can not only decompose the odor of foot sweat in shoes and socks, but also assist in killing the skin fungus that causes athlete's foot. It has a more long-lasting effect than simply using fragrance masking products.
