How Silver Kills Odors

Judging by the websites devoted to home appliances, one of the most widespread questions on refrigerator operation is connected with unpleasant smell. Of course, such a mishap should be avoided – products need to be properly packed and stored. But what to do if the terrible thing happens and when you open the door you can smell the persistent smells from the fridge?…

Silver is gold when it’s in the refrigerator!

Refrigerators with a built-in interior cleaning system are becoming more and more popular. Thus, Siemens refrigerators are equipped with the antibacterial cleaning system based on inorganic silver compound AglON , which reliably prevents the development and spread of harmful bacteria, microbes and pathogenic fungi. Another example of used in the manufacture of refrigerators from the acquisitions – a double honeycomb air freshener.

Developments in the field of antibacterial protection of home appliances are actively engaged and Whirlpool. The essence of the new antibacterial air filtration system being introduced by this company is the use of a high-technology circuit filter with integrated active antibacterial Microban® components. Antibacterial coating is present in some Liebherr, Electrolux, Ariston and units of other brands.

Sharp has developed PlasmaCluster technology. Plasmacluster ions circulate inside the refrigerator compartment, effectively preventing unpleasant odors, harmful microorganisms and mold. But that is not all: not only the air inside the refrigerator is purified, but also outside: Plasmacluster ions spread throughout the kitchen and actively purify the air in the room.

Technology “plasma cluster ions” is based on creating a large number of positive and negative ions. Fungus and harmful bacteria are decontaminated because positive and negative ions have the property to cluster around particles and react chemically with them to destroy their envelopes.

Nord refrigerators use Alphasan Master Batch antibacterial system based on silver ions, a product of the world leader in the production of Clariant chemicals. The antibacterial layer is invisible, but very effective during the whole period of using the fridge. Silver ions are released continuously: 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Cleaning agents have no effect on the properties of this system.

In online stores you can find a special attachment Genius Air, which is fixed inside the fridge and performs the function of air ionization. By producing negatively charged ions, it helps neutralize unpleasant odors and, in part, bacteria. This device runs on batteries and costs about 2 200 Dollars.

Of course, all of these appliances, devices and built-in cleaning systems contribute to eliminating unpleasant odors and maintaining a good atmosphere inside the refrigerator.

Practice shows, however, that the most common reasons for a musty odor are very simple: Old food scraps that were not removed in time, and a refrigerator that has not been washed for a long time… Let’s wish each other not to be lazy and to be tidy and small home tricks and smart innovative solutions will help us to keep the freshness inside the fridge for longer.
