The innovative and natural
way to keep indoor air clean, fresh, and free of pollutants. For years, the "Clean-Indoor-Air" philosophy has been to
continually replace the stagnant, "sick" air of the indoors,
with the "fresh" air of the outdoors. However, there are a
number of drawbacks to this method.
First of all, what pollutants and contaminants are in that outside air
that we are bringing in? It is full of all kinds of things: Allergens,
smoke, automobile exhaust, industrial waste and byproducts, etc. |
 |
| In addition to this, the
energy required to move that air continually is enormous! Not to mention
the added heating and air conditioning costs incurred! After all, the
outside air that is brought in now needs to be either cooled or heated,
as the case may be, in order for it to be comfortable for the occupants
of the building or home. |
| With Hygienic Aire, these
problems have a solution! Instead of continually exchanging the indoor
air with the outdoor air, the Hygienic Aire philosophy is to take the
existing indoor air and clean it up. Naturally. This is not to say
that refreshing the indoor air is unnecessary...it just means that it
does not have to be done so often or so extensively. Simply place the
jars of Hygienic Aire in strategic places of the home or office
building and let it go to work for you. Placing a small jar in a
more confined area such as a laundry room or closet, freshens the air
and kills the germs in that area continually. A larger size jar, placed
in the furnace air return, will allow the beneficial materials to be
disbursed throughout the building as the air is moved by that unit. And
it doesn't just make the air smell nice! Although that is a part of it,
the real benefit is in the natural anti-microbial work
that it does. After opening the jar, it will, on average, last 30 - 45
days in your furnace or air ducts. As it disperses throughout the
building, it tends to be absorbed by the porous materials it comes in
contact with, safely and without harming them. |
| As this takes place, the
Hygienic Aire continues to do its work even after the material in the jar has completely dissolved. In this way, it remains effective for
another 30 - 45 days more. That's an average of 60 - 90 days of coverage! No common
air freshener, spray, liquid, or solid can boast of such results! |
| And Hygienic Aire is
totally made up of natural ingredients. No harsh chemicals, bleaches,
ammonias, or other harmful allergens, etc.! No toxic fluorocarbons or
other propellants used! Hygienic Aire is a patented formula made from
the extract of Tea Tree Oil.
Some background:
The essential oils
distilled from Kunzea ericoides and Leptospermum scoparium,
also known as kanuka and manuka oils respectively, are often referred to
as New Zealand tea tree oils. They are very different in
composition from Tea Tree Oil (TTO) and it cannot be assumed that they
have the same medicinal properties as those shown for TTO. The native habitat
of Melaleuca alternifolia is a small area of northeastern New
South Wales, Australia. However, Melaleuca alternifolia has been
cultivated successfully in other parts of New South Wales, in other
states of Australia such as Queensland and Western Australia and in
other countries. These leaves have a natural germ-fighting quality that is
highly effective yet extremely safe.
|
| Place an open jar or
two in the basement, RV, Boat, or Storage unit. Use the small size to
freshen a school or gym locker, a closet, or a laundry room. Or place a
large size in the furnace to freshen the entire house! |
| Have a mold or mildew
problem? This is on the minds of many people, especially after all the
recent major storms that have hit the US and other parts of the world.
Between flooding and wind damage, there are many homeowners with little
help or recourse, facing the challenges of discovering mold and mildew
in their homes. These are very difficult to remove and are usually
costly. Many times the materials such as drywall and lumber products
have to be removed because there doesn't seem to be a cost-effective
method of removal. Enter Hygienic Aire! Tests have shown Hygienic Aire
to be effective in arresting the growth and spread of both mold and
mildew! In more extreme cases, cleaning may still have to be done, but by
keeping Hygienic Aire in the area afterwards, further growth and
development of these microbes is stopped dead in its tracks. In minor
cases, just placing the jar in the area takes care of it! |

Tea
Tree Oil
- nature's
miracle in fighting infections and other problems. It has been used for
over 60 years in Australia as a natural antiseptic and fungicide and has
been shown to possess anti-microbial qualities against a wide range of
gram positive and gram negative bacteria and fungi. The intrinsic
anti-microbial activity in combination with it's penetrating power is
believed to be responsible for the efficiency of this natural product.
In
a room humidifier, Pure Tea Tree Oil (first check the instructions and
cautionary notes of the humidifier), brings relief to someone
suffering from: Cold, Flu, Bronchitis, and Emphysema.
Activity
Hundreds
of in vitro and in
vivo tests have been conducted on Australian tea tree oil,
demonstrating that it is effective against a wide range of
microorganisms. Tea tree oil’s anti-microbial activity combined with
its penetrating ability and low skin irritation potential makes Main
Camp Tea Tree Oil a safe, natural and broad spectrum anti-microbial
agent. Additional consumer benefits are provided by the demonstrable
anti-inflammatory activity of Main Camp Tea Tree Oil.
