4 . The odor control composition of claim 1 , wherein the essential oil and HSAEM are present in at a ratio of 2:1 to 1:2 and/or water is present in the composition at a concentration from 10 wt % to 30 wt %.
5 . The odor control composition of claim 1 , wherein the essential oil comprises aloe oil, castor oil, hemp seed oil, flax seed oil, or any combination thereof.
6 . The odor control composition of claim 1 , wherein the essential oil comprises at least two of aloe oil, castor oil, hemp seed oil, and flax seed oil.
7 . The odor control composition of claim 1 , wherein the essential oil comprises at least three of aloe oil, castor oil, hemp seed oil, and flax seed oil.
8 . The odor control composition of claim 1 wherein the essential oil comprises aloe oil, castor oil, hemp seed oil, and flax seed oil.
9 . The odor control composition of claim 1 , wherein the HSAEM is a zeolite.
10 . The odor control composition of claim 1 , wherein the HSAEM is chabazite, pentasil, or any combination thereof.
11 . The odor control composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition is a liquid.
12 . The odor control composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition is a water in oil emulsion.
13 . The odor control composition of claim 1 , wherein the organic malodor molecules comprise ammonia, acetic acid, isovaleric acid, or any combination thereof.
14 . The odor control composition of claim 1 , wherein the organic malodor molecules comprise at least two of ammonia, acetic acid, and isovaleric acid.
15 . The odor control composition of claim 1 , wherein the organic malodor molecules comprises ammonia, acetic acid, and isovaleric acid.
16 . A textile coating composition comprising:
(a) an essential oil that binds and neutralizes organic odor molecules; and
(b) a high surface area essential mineral that binds and neutralizes organic odor molecules.
17 . A dry textile material having the composition of claim 16 applied thereon, wherein the dry textile material and/or the composition applied thereon binds and neutralizes organic malodor molecules on the dry textile material for a prolonged period of time.
18 . The dry textile material of claim 17 , wherein the essential oil applied on the textile ranges from 1.5% percent weight on fabric (owf) to 6.5% owf, and the HSAEM applied on the textile ranges from 1.5% percent weight on fabric (owf) to 6.5% owf.
19 . The dry textile material of claim 17 , wherein the essential oil and HSAEM are present in at a ratio of 2:1 to 1:2 and/or water is present in the composition at a concentration from 10 wt % to 30 wt %.
20 . The dry textile material of claim 17 , wherein the dry textile material binds and neutralizes ammonia, acetic acid, and isovaleric acid on the textile material when compared to an untreated textile material.
21 . The dry textile material of claim 20 , wherein the dry textile material binds and neutralizes 90% to 100% of ammonia when compared to an untreated textile material, and/or the dry textile material binds and neutralizes 20% to 50% of acetic acid when compared to an untreated textile material, and/or the dry textile material binds and neutralizes 20% to 50% of isovaleric acid when compared to an untreated textile material
22 . A method of applying an odor control composition of claim 1 to a textile material comprising:
applying the odor control composition to a textile material, wherein the odor control composition comprises (a) an essential oil at an effective amount that binds and neutralizes organic odor molecules; and (b) a high surface area essential mineral (HSAEM) at an effective amount that binds and neutralizes odor molecules.
23 . The method according to claim 22 , wherein applying the odor control composition to the textile material comprises exhausting.
24 . The method according to claim 22 , wherein applying the odor control composition to the textile material comprises padding.
25 . The method according to claim 22 , wherein the textile material has the odor control composition dried and/or cured thereon and binds and neutralizes organic malodor molecules on the dry textile material for a prolonged period of time.
26 . The method according to claim 25 , wherein the prolonged period of time comprises ten wash cycles, 25 wash cycles, for 3 months, for one year, or any combination thereof.
