deodourising
Removing bad odors
Deodourising is the British spelling of deodorizing—removing or masking unpleasant smells.
The word applies to products, processes, or actions that neutralise odours: The charcoal filter works by deodourising the air.
Deodorisers range from sprays and powders to industrial scrubbers.
