What Customers Say After the Switch
From greenwash-burned shoppers to allergy households — here's what changed when they swapped in Sampson.
Finally an air freshener that doesn't just dump perfume over the litter box. The cat-room smell is actually gone, not buried under a fake-flowers scent that wears off in an hour.
I spray it inside the kids' hockey bag after every game. The deep gear smell that no other spray touched is finally under control. No chemical aerosol smell either — just neutral.
Works well on the bathroom and the car. I do wish it came in a larger refill size — I go through the bottle quickly using it in a few rooms. Added the citrus essential oil from their line and it's perfect.
My partner has asthma and reacted to every aerosol freshener we tried. This one she can be in the room for. Unscented out of the bottle, and the kitchen smell after cooking fish actually disappears.
What a synthetic-fragrance aerosol actually puts into the air
Air freshener doesn't remove the smell. It adds a stronger one on top.
Conventional air fresheners are a synthetic fragrance layered over the odour you wanted gone — released as a fine aerosol mist directly into the breathing zone, with phthalate fragrance carriers hidden under "fragrance" and volatile solvents you inhale.
Nearly 100% of people tested have detectable phthalates in their bodies — and cleaning-product and air-care "fragrance" is a common source, since no regulation requires disclosing it by name (CDC NHANES)
Indoor VOC levels run 2–5× higher than outdoor air — up to 10× higher during and after spraying cleaning and air-care products (EPA TEAM)
Air fresheners and cleaners containing terpenes (citrus/pine fragrance) react with indoor ozone to form formaldehyde and ultrafine particles — secondary pollution created by the scent itself (LBNL Indoor Air Quality)

We Spent 30+ Years Cleaning Up Contamination. Then We Checked Under the Sink. Nous avons passé 30+ ans à décontaminer des sites. Puis nous avons regardé sous l'évier.
Diana Trasente and Angelo Diadelfo are environmental engineers with Master's degrees and over 30 years remediating contaminated soil and water across Canada. They know industrial chemicals intimately — PCBs, heavy metals, synthetic surfactants, petroleum solvents. Diana Trasente et Angelo Diadelfo sont des ingénieurs en environnement avec des maîtrises et plus de 30 ans d'expérience en décontamination de sols et d'eau au Canada.
Then they started reading the labels on their own household cleaners. The same classes of synthetic chemicals they spent their careers cleaning up were sitting in their kitchen, bathroom, and laundry room. Puis ils ont commencé à lire les étiquettes des nettoyants ménagers chez eux. Les mêmes classes de produits chimiques qu'ils passaient leur carrière à nettoyer se trouvaient dans leur cuisine, salle de bain et buanderie.
In 2010, they founded Sampson Eco Shop — applying the same scientific rigor to household cleaners that they applied to environmental remediation. Every product starts with one question: What's actually in here, and is it safe to put down a drain? En 2010, ils ont fondé Sampson Eco Shop — appliquant la même rigueur scientifique aux nettoyants ménagers qu'à la décontamination. Chaque produit commence par une question: Qu'est-ce qu'il y a vraiment dedans, et est-ce sécuritaire de l'envoyer dans un drain?
“Every cleaner we make starts with the same question we'd ask on a contamination site: what's actually in here, and what happens when it goes down the drain?” “Chaque nettoyant qu'on fabrique commence par la même question qu'on poserait sur un site contaminé: qu'est-ce qu'il y a vraiment dedans, et qu'est-ce qui se passe quand ça va dans le drain?”— Diana Trasente, M.Eng. — Diana Trasente, M.Ing.
The Method
It binds the odour molecule. It doesn't mask it.
Zinc ricinoleate is a plant-derived odour neutralizer — paired and balanced by Diana and Angelo Diadelfo, M.Eng., environmental engineers since 2010.
Disperse a fine water-based mist
The spray releases a fine water-based mist carrying the active into the air and onto soft surfaces — no propellant, no aerosol solvent, no VOC carrier.
Bind the odour molecule
Zinc ricinoleate, the plant-derived active, binds the volatile odour molecules — the actual compounds your nose registers as smell — instead of layering a stronger scent over them.
Neutralize at the source
Once bound, the odour molecule can no longer reach your nose. The smell is neutralized rather than masked — so when the spray fades, the odour does not return underneath it.
Evaporate and break down
The water and bio-ethanol carrier evaporate clean. Anything that reaches the drain is biodegradable to OECD 301D, phosphate-free, with a modern MGDA chelator in place of EDTA.

Format Matters
Neutralizing versus masking
How Sampson Eco Air Freshener compares to conventional aerosols and greenwashed alternatives.
| Sampson Eco Air Freshener | Conventional aerosol air freshener | "Eco" / greenwashed air freshener | |
|---|---|---|---|
| How it handles odour | Neutralizes at the source (zinc ricinoleate binds the molecule) | Masks with stronger synthetic fragrance | Usually still masking, with a "natural" scent |
| Named ingredients on label | 5 (full list disclosed) | Few — "fragrance" and propellant undisclosed | Partial disclosure typical |
| Phthalates in fragrance | None — no synthetic fragrance system | Hidden under "fragrance" — not required to disclose | Often still hidden under "fragrance" |
| Delivery format | Water-based pump mist — no propellant | Pressurized aerosol with volatile propellant | Mixed — pump or aerosol |
| VOC content | None — water-based, no solvent carrier | High (solvents + propellant) | Sometimes disclosed |
| Scent | Ships unscented; choose from 20+ natural essential-oil fragrances | Synthetic — phthalate carrier likely | Single "natural" scent, source rarely disclosed |
| Biodegradable to OECD 301D | Yes (disclosed on label) | No | Sometimes claimed |
| Made in Canada by environmental engineers | Yes, in Montreal since 2010 | Multinational manufacture | Varies |
The format is the difference. Same plant chemistry, same engineering rigor — without the bottle, the water weight, or the synthetic add-ons.
