Abstract
A deodorizing and sterilizing dryer can readily provide deodorization, sterilization, and mold prevention for various goods, such as shoes, by supplying a deodorizing and sterilizing air stream. The deodorizing and sterilizing dryer includes, at one end, an outlet and, internally, a heater and a fan. Air that is heated by the heater is forced along an air stream path, which lies between the heater and the outlet, and contacts a columnar ceramic body that is impregnated with an acid solution and a columnar ceramic body that is impregnated with an alkaline chlorine dioxide solution. Both ceramic bodies have a plurality of lengthwise through holes, so as to supply deodorizing and sterilizing air that contains chlorine dioxide gas.
