For more information, visit http://www.drirelease.com. FreshGuard® is a registered trademark of Optimer Brands. It is an odor neutralizer embedded in all drirelease® fabrics. It eliminates odors in garments by blocking odor-causing sebaceous body oils from attaching to the fabric - also stopping the attraction of odor-causing bacteria. Not an anti-microbial or anti-bacterial, which attack bacteria that possess positive functions, FreshGuard® is friendly to the environment. For more information, visit http://www.drirelease.com.
