DeoTech LLC has created a portable deodorizer, The DeoBlock which is a durable, reusable, eco-friendly and recyclable deodorizer that can be used for various spaces including: gym/athletic bags, lockers, closets, cars etc. Their journey started in a suburban high school during a business incubator class. After winning grant money from their district final business competition, they took their idea and turned it into an opportunity.
The DeoBlock has a reusable outer shell that needs to be replenished once a month with plant-based refills which contain essential oils and their deodorizing technology. The DeoTech team consists of avid gym goers and athletes who have dealt with fighting bad odor on a consistent basis. The suburban Chicago start-up wants to deliver a versatile solution that fights bad odor rather than masks it and raise the standards of portable deodorizers around the world.
