The Indian monsoons bring a level of comfort to many such as the steaming cup of chai, crunchy pakoras frying in the oil, and the fragrant rain-filled air drifting through open windows.
However, every compliment paid to chai comes at the cost of fizzy samosas and onion laden leftovers along with an abundance of flour and unnecessary onion soup stew.
Smells in food are almost never missed out on especially when one is in close contact with pungent weather accompanying humidity chucking torpedoed hot gusts not just perfect for walking outside but meant for people sharing the space breathing.
Odor control tends to have a different level of operation during humid and muggy days. By the fourth day in Indian damp showers literally no clue why there’s a smell identical to dead animals rotting inside banquets.
This is where Deo Fresh technology silently makes all the difference.
What Is Deo Fresh Technology And Why Should You Care?
At its core, Deo Fresh is a built-in odour control system found in advanced refrigerators like those in Lumiere Series. But calling it an “odour control system” almost undersells what it does.
This isn’t your grandma’s fridge with a piece of baking soda shoved in the corner. Deo Fresh is a 360° air purification system that:
- Neutralises strong smells like leftover rajma, garlic tadka, or ripe jackfruit.
- Maintains air freshness across all compartments using strategic air flow.
- Reduces bacterial growth which thrives in warm, humid weather.
In simple terms: your fridge stays as fresh as your ingredients.
Why Do Food Odours Worsen During Monsoon?
Let’s break this down.
- Humidity increases moisture inside the fridge every time you open it.
- Spices and oils from Indian cooking don’t freeze out; they sit and spread.
- Multiple dishes stored together means flavour cross-contamination is almost inevitable.
Even when food is properly covered, moisture molecules in the air latch onto odorous compounds and carry them across the refrigerator. That’s why your paneer suddenly smells like yesterday’s fish curry.
Deo Fresh doesn’t just mask these smells, it attacks them at the molecular level.
Real-Life Scenarios Where Deo Fresh Makes a Difference
1. The Mango Season Madness
You bought a crate of Alphonso mangoes from Ratnagiri. They’re ripe. They’re juicy. They’re everywhere. The smell? Divine but only if you’re eating them. Not if they’ve taken over your fridge, your butter compartment, and your drinking water bottle. Deo Fresh isolates and neutralises the ethylene gas and fruity odours so your fridge doesn’t turn into a mango chamber.
2. Leftovers from a Family Feast
Hosting during the monsoon is a rite of passage. But it also means leftover chicken curry, fried bhindi, and soaked dals all stored together. Instead of everything smelling like a potpourri of masalas, Deo Fresh ensures each dish retains its original aroma and doesn’t affect the milk or salad stored nearby.
3. Pickles, Cheese, and Dairy Drama
Pickles give off a strong tangy scent, especially in moist environments. Paneer and cheese, on the other hand, absorb nearby odours quickly. Deo Fresh ensures that your nimbu ka achaar doesn’t ruin the delicate texture or aroma of your Amul cheese slice.
The Science Behind It (Without Boring You)
While the tech is complex, here’s the easy version:
- Deo Fresh uses activated carbon filters and plasma ionisation to trap and break down odour molecules.
- The air inside your fridge keeps circulating, not just chilling.
- It works 24/7, without you having to press a single button.
The result? Even if your refrigerator is packed to the brim with monsoon snacks and condiments, the air remains clean and breathable.
Why It’s Not Just About Smell It’s About Freshness
Odour is just one visible (or rather, smellable) sign of spoilage. Where there are smells, there are bacteria. And in high-humidity environments like Indian monsoons, that bacteria can multiply fast.
Lumiere refrigerators with Deo Fresh don’t just remove odours, they extend the life of your food.
Fewer trips to the store. Less food wasted. And a lot less “Ugh, what’s that smell?”
