Where to put a pouch — and where not to
A pouch works on the air around it. Give it a small, enclosed volume and it does its job for three months; hang it in a draft and you have wasted it.
The rule behind all of this is simple: Cab’n Fresh scents the air in an enclosed space. The smaller and more closed the space, the better it works. A pouch in a glovebox outperforms the same pouch on an open shelf in a garage, every time.
In a vehicle, the best spots are under a seat, in the glovebox, in a door pocket, or in the centre console. One pouch handles a typical cab. Skip the dashboard — direct sun and vent airflow burn through a pouch fast without scenting much.
In an RV or a boat cabin, use two: one in the living area and one in a closed compartment — a wardrobe, a head, or a bunk storage bay. These spaces are larger and hold moisture, which is what makes them smell closed-up after a few weeks.
In gear, put the pouch inside the bag and close it. A hockey bag, a tool bag, a set of work boots — the pouch needs to be sealed in with the odour, not sitting beside it.
At home, closets, mudrooms, seasonal bins and basements are all good. A bin with the lid on is close to ideal. An open basement is the hardest case in the house; use two and put them at floor level where the air is coolest and least disturbed.
Swap when the scent fades. Three months is typical, but a hot cab in July or a well-ventilated space will run shorter, and a sealed bin will run longer. Your nose is the right instrument here — when you stop noticing it, replace it.
