Luggage Breeze
Description
So the issue is that travelling cases starts smelling kind of moldy and really unpleasant after a while, especially the softtop cases.
My idea to prevent this is a little bag or container with the miraculous content which prevent the development of bad smell over a period of at least one year by spending pleasant odor.
Technical solution
A bag or little container which you just throw inside the case. The odor spender could also be integrated in the bag itself - requires cooperation with bag manufacturer(s).

The pic I added is from a bag with cutting chips from some special tree - supposed to smell really good and helpful against mooths. However, I think we have seen plenty of homespun remedies but this inspired me.
Customer benefit
The odor should not be too strong as you do not want your clothes smell like the Luggage Breeze too much neither. However, this prevents your clothes to smell moldy for sure and you don't have to wash neither your cases before nor your clothes after travelling. And it saves you money as you can use your old luggage for quite a qhile instead of buying a new one because of bad smell. Another advantage is that you may be able to strore your luggage even in less dry places such as the attic or the cellar without being worried about it getting moldy.

Nice idea to integrate the suitecases with a device for the porpose of bad smells
Isn't it? I thought so too :)
very creative marius
u have some ideas for the other contests no? marius
This is practical and nice idea but bags like that already exist and I often use them to remove odors from my wardrobe, and my dad use them for his suitcase. They are often made from lavander leaves. Ilike the other part of your solution, with integrating that bag into the suitcase. That would be awesome! Neccie

ON THESE DAYS BE AWARE FROM COLDDDDD,,,,,. BCOZ UR SAFTY IN IS UR HAND,,,,,, ANKTHAKUR
let's see more opinions:) bonibom
I know there are bags like that already. I just think that "modern" people are not gonna try out this kind of pld fashinoed stuff. But when you put it in a newly looking fancy packaging or even integrate it in the suitcase itself, it would be a different kind of story. I just happen to experience that it's not just what your product is all about for real, it's also a lot what you think it is :)
interesting point of view, I hope we can have a conversation and comment my ideas marius

Hey Hans, looking forward for an interesting contest Gerold@swirl
Hi hans great to be here and i am with some people researching in some ideas to the contest and i realy want to do this properly.
This one is little more complexed to design so I am researching with old people of the family ideas and soluction that they are found of .
If hive does more of this type
of contests i am always disposable to enter and help to innovate
Any ideas? :) hamster
Upgraded my idea with a product for the garbage can bad smells . This idea avoids bad smells.
hey Hans, I m a little bit confused, and dont get one thing here.. well, I ve red some of the ideas and solutions, and most of the people suggest some traditional receipt on how to cover bad smells (lemon, candle, vinegrin etc). as i've understand, the competition should be on how to avoid bas smells, but in tehnical way, not traditional? Nana
Yes I think so. I just use that name since I love arts. arts&humanity
Hey Hans! mein fb Name ist: tipsy chipsy. MfG Chris chris
You very nice chalenges.
Hello Hans. I will answer shortly:) There isn't any noise or health risk. Ioniser should have dimensions 10cm x 10cm x 5 cm not more. Of course it need electricity so batteries have to implemented. hamster
