Abstract: A deodorant system includes a compact container for an odor absorbent, which may be temporarily secured to another surface such as an interior wall of a refrigerator or a garbage container, and which includes a calendar to assist in determining a replacement date for the deodorant system. A plastic housing is attached to a front face of a cardboard base plate to provide a container for the powdered odor absorbent. Several apertures are provided through a wall of the housing opposite the base plate, and an adhesive label is adhered over substantially the entire front face of the housing wall. Removal of the adhesive label exposes the odor absorbent, which consists primarily of calcium carbonate and activated carbon. Either a suction cup or an adhesive strip may be fixed to a rear face of the base plate for purposes of temporarily securing the packaging to another surface.
