Abstract: A novel pad assembly is provided for use with a standard hand-held hair dryer to aid in removing undesired odors from a beauty salon. The pad assembly of the present invention is provided for use with standard hand-held hair dryers which include an aperture for supplying a heated air stream and a barrier attached to the aperture for preventing objects from entering into or passing out of the hair dryer. The pad assembly includes a pad portion made of a flame retardant, liquid absorbent material which is sized to fit within the aperture of the hair dryer. The pad portion has a backing attached thereto. The backing has an outer surface on which is disposed an adhesive material for mounting the pad assembly to the barrier of the hair dryer. An oil based scented liquid material is disposed within and absorbed by the pad such that a scent is released to the heated air stream upon use of the hair dryer.
