What the St. Croix test measured
The St. Croix study tested wall-mounted units at medium fan speed in controlled 2.16 m³ chambers. The carbon-plus-fragrance configuration used Tropical Heaven. It did not test the freestanding Residential configuration or establish dog-smell, cooking-smell or domestic-room performance; the reported percentages apply to those tested conditions.
Ecobreeze was independently tested by St. Croix Sensory, a globally respected lab accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2005 standards. Using controlled stainless steel chambers and a challenging faecal malodor stronger than typical restroom conditions, Ecobreeze was evaluated over a 4-hour period.
With both carbon filter and fragrance, malodor intensity dropped by 89% within 30 minutes, and over 95% for the remainder of the test.
Even with a carbon filter only, Ecobreeze achieved significant reduction (10.0 to 23.4) in malodor ratings, decreased sulfur/faecal odour character, and improved hedonic tone (odour pleasantness).

Ecobreeze was independently tested by St. Croix Sensory, a globally respected lab accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2005 standards. Using controlled stainless steel chambers and a challenging faecal malodor stronger than typical restroom conditions, Ecobreeze was evaluated over a 4-hour period.
The results were remarkable:
With both carbon filter and fragrance, malodor intensity dropped by 89% within 30 minutes, and over 95% for the remainder of the test.
Even with a carbon filter only, Ecobreeze achieved significant reduction (10.0 to 23.4) in malodor ratings, decreased sulfur/faecal odour character, and improved hedonic tone (odour pleasantness).
All findings were statistically significant and conducted per ASTM E1593-13 and CSPA deodorisation efficacy protocols.
