The technology

INATURAL OdorCrunch

Odour-control textile technology by INATURAL.

INATURAL OdorCrunch helps textiles resist lingering odours by capturing and neutralising odour molecules on fabric. It targets body odours as well as environmental odours such as cooking fumes, smoke and daily-use smells — helping textiles stay fresher between washes.

How it works

How OdorCrunch works

Odour molecules from sweat, food, smoke, and the surrounding environment can become trapped in textile fibers. INATURAL OdorCrunch uses silica-based odour-control technology to attract, capture and reduce the impact of those odour molecules on the fabric.

The result is a textile that stays fresher for longer and does not need to be washed as often — especially valuable for sportswear, towels, uniforms, hospitality textiles, home textiles, upholstery, curtains, and other hard-to-launder applications.

Without treatment

Benefits

Benefits of INATURAL OdorCrunch

Captures body odours

Helps reduce unpleasant smells caused by sweat and repeated use.

Neutralises environmental odours

Targets lingering odours from cooking fumes, smoke and surrounding environments.

Wear more. Wash less.

By reducing odour build-up, textiles stay usable longer between washes.

Fresh for the fabric’s life

Odour-control support lasts, depending on application and care conditions.

Applications

Great for hard-to-wash textiles

Especially valuable where fabrics cannot be washed after every use — from upholstery to hospitality textiles.

Responsible use

From consumable to durable.

Odour is one of the main reasons textiles are washed too often or replaced too early. By helping fabrics stay fresher between washes, INATURAL OdorCrunch supports more durable textile use — fewer washes can reduce water, energy, detergent, microfiber release and fabric wear.

Lower water use
Fewer wash cycles
Less microfiber release
Longer textile life
For professional programmes

Built for professional programmes

INATURAL works with clubs, academies, teamwear partners and performance-focused organisations to develop textile solutions around real operational needs — from odour management and freshness to thermal comfort and product durability.

Custom programmes can apply OdorCrunch across sports towels, training textiles, uniforms and selected performance apparel, with technology selection and validation defined for the intended use.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

It uses silica-based technology to capture and reduce odour molecules that cling to textile fibers.

It can help reduce body odours and environmental odours such as cooking smells, smoke, and other lingering fabric odours.

No. It is also useful for towels, upholstery, curtains, hospitality textiles, uniforms, and other hard-to-wash applications.

Yes. StayFresh targets odour-causing bacteria, while OdorCrunch captures odour molecules. Together they create a stronger freshness system.

Yes. By helping textiles stay fresher for longer, it can reduce washing frequency, water use, energy use, detergents, and textile wear.
