Why ODX is the world’s best odor eliminator

February 12, 2026

We think a lot about how to banish demonic odors from the face of the earth…and your home. Like, a lot.

Frankly, we do more than just think about it: we reflect on it, pray about, even dream about it. Calling our interest in natural odor elimination an obsession would be doing it a disservice. We’re religious about it.

In our holy book, it’s not enough that a product eliminates foul smells from your carpet, rugs, shoes, litter boxes, couches, love seats, and cars. If a product is going to earn the designation as Heaven & Earth’s most naturally powerful odor eliminator, it had better do it right. (And smell great.)

For Odor Exorcism, “doing it right” means creating products that are physical expressions of our values.

1. Natural purity

First and foremost, when we were developing Odor Exorcism, we set out to see if we could create an odor eliminator made from all natural ingredients. This was a seemingly simple aim that turned out to be a whole lot more involved and complex than we initially thought…

Natural fragrance

If you’ve ever sprayed a bottle of Odor Exorcism into a possessed bathroom, the first thing you probably noticed was the delicious, sumptuous aroma. It was by intelligent design—not fragrance chemicals—that this delightful scent came to be.

In order to create the ODX smell, we turned to a category of raw products that has been around since before Jesus: essential oils.

The essential oils that go into every bottle of odor exorcism (and our prayer candle, for that matter) are included because their aromas are beloved, they are of pure origins, and they are biblically relevant. Only aromatherapy-grade essential oils ever make it into ODX products, and the quality can be felt (and smelt).

Mild disinfection

The chemists among us may already know this, but all three essential oils (lavender, orange, and frankincense) included in our products contain the chemical compound limonene. (Orange contains more limonene than the other two.)

As we have written about before, limonene occurs naturally in the skins of citrus fruits and is a wonderful mild disinfectant. It disrupts bacterial growth and destabilizes microbial membranes which prevents foul odors from being emitted.

In addition, the inclusion of grain alcohol in our formula bolsters the product’s antimicrobial action. This works in the same way that alcohol disinfects in hand sanitizers and window cleaners.

pH balance

While we all love wonderful smells, a true odor eliminator does just that: eliminate odors.

One way of achieving that lofty goal is to balance the pH of organic materials by moving them close to neutral—neither acidic nor alkaline.

One ingredient in every bottle of Odor Exorcism that does just that is sodium citrate. This critical—and natural ingredient—works to neutralize acidic odor molecules to make them as scent-neutral as water. An all-natural odor eliminator wouldn’t be complete without it.

Natural preservation

The next time you order a side of kimchi, you might look at it a little differently, because that delectable pickled vegetable works wonders as a natural preservative.

In liquified form, it’s known as Leucidal, and it’s among the most important ingredients of the whole formula. It is a natural, probiotic-based, broad-spectrum preservative derived from Lactobacillus ferment, offering superior antimicrobial protection for DIY skincare (serums, creams, lotions).

Even though the essential oils and alcohol components of the formula deter fungal or bacterial growth, Leucidal takes preservation to another level, extending the shelf life of Odor Exorcism to a year or longer.

2. Sustainability

Moving on to our second value which is evident in every product we sell: sustainability.

Glass > plastic

If we’ve said it once, we’ve said it a thousand times: the earth has enough plastic in it.

Beyond that, glass is truly an exorcist’s best friend, as we have written about before. And honestly, could you image Father Karras or Father Merrin rolling up to Regan’s room with a plastic bottle of holy water?! Of course not!

For those who have been living under a rock, most plastic isn’t even really recyclable, and because of the complexity of separating different kinds of plastic, most of the plastic that could be recycled isn’t.

Glass, on the other hand, is infinitely recyclable, and frankly just feels better in the hand when you’re about to send a satanic scent to hell where it belongs.

Sustainable farming practices

Odor Exorcism strives to select only raw ingredients which meet important sustainability protocols pertaining to farming and labor.

Bulgarian lavender is considered a highly sustainable, eco-friendly crop, often grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, and helps prevent soil erosion due to its robust root system. The cultivation practices are largely natural, just the way we like it.

The sweet orange essential oil in every bottle of ODX is also considered highly sustainable because it is largely a byproduct of the juicing industry. In this process, orange peels (which would otherwise be thrown away) are cold-pressed for their essential oils, which is captured and then packaged for use in products like ours.

1% of all sales goes to climate change non-profits

We don’t really care if it’s en vogue or not—the earth is warming, and that’s a problem. So, instead of complaining about it, we’re putting our money where our sprayers are and donating a full 1% of sales (not profits, but sales) to climate change initiatives which have proven themselves effective in the existential fight against global warming. Every time we hit $3,000 in sales, we donate $30 to one of these initiatives, as evidenced below:

3. Transparency

Lastly, we have maybe the most important piece of the “world’s best odor eliminator” formula, and that’s transparency.

Every bottle of Odor Exorcism lists plainly the ingredients that can be found therein. All ingredients are also listed on every one of our product pages.

That’s not something that can be said for synthetic (and potentially evil) alternative odor eliminators like Febreze. We’ve tried to find more information on exactly what is in every plastic-laden bottle of the stuff, and our journey always ends the same way: “fragrance.” (And you know how we feel about that ingredient.)

Frankly, an odor eliminator with hidden ingredients has something to hide. That’s not ODX, and never will be.

Conclusion

Yeah, to even be considered for the honor of World’s Best Odor Eliminator, it takes more than a formula that “smells good.” As we see it—as consumers, not as exorcists—to even be considered, your product should be naturally pure, sustainably sourced, and unapologetically transparent.

When graded by those measures, Odor Exorcism stands alone.
