I found almost 100 online user reviews of the Moso bags, with an average rating of four stars. Moso's market penetration includes The Container Store, and carries the "natural" bags. "Passive" also means the bag requires little effort from the user, other than occasional airing out and sunning the bag. The correct term is "adsorb," which means molecules attaching to a surface by electrostatic (ionic) attraction. Many vendors and numerous user reviews use the term absorb to describe the process of odor molecule retention. Moso's bags are passive air purifiers, meaning they have no fan to propel air through the adsorbent media. Small Mosos, sized nicely for insertion into stinky boots or hanging on a cat litter box, are two for ten bucks. With the largest Moso Natural bag (500 grams) selling for about twenty bucks, here is an option for folks whoĬan't pony up for a motorized air cleaner, many of which have less carbon than the Moso bag. I join other indoor air quality experts, who universally recommend against using chemical air fresheners/deodorizers of any kind.Īt least as bad are things that burn, such as scented candles, covering the odor with a new scent and filling the air with tiny black spheres of carbon. Most of the billions spent on indoor odor devices, found in three quarters of American homes, goes to unhealthy scent-maskers that just fool the nose into thinking air is clean. Moso introduced their bags to the American market in August 2010, creating a new product category.ĭespite the company's overstated "green" marketing and somewhat exaggerated claims, I like this product as an alternative to the popular, and often toxic, "air fresheners" and other chemical responses to the indoor odor problem. Moso Natural offers a natural odor control product, the Moso Air Purifying Bag. The number one principle any indoor air authority will cite is "attack the source before installing the air cleaner."īut there are many odor sources that cannot easily be removed.įor several years, I have been advising people to "just put some carbon near the odor," without stumbling onto the products from Moso. Unpleasant odors - from cigarette smoke, cooking, pet litter, cleaning chemicals, and mold - are a social embarrassment and a health problem.
