Abstract: Disclosed is a malodor control system that includes use of a malodor scavenger to sequester a malodor molecule to reduce and/or eliminate the noxious odor the malodor molecule generates. Some embodiments can include use of a substrate as a non-woven fabric sheet as a delivery system for the malodor scavenger. The substrate can include a polymer complexed with active ingredient to lock the active ingredient in place at a surface of the substrate via a binder so that the active ingredient is present at a predetermined activity level. After interacting with malodor molecules, at least some of the active ingredient migrates via passive diffusion to the substrate surface to maintain the predetermined activity level. Embodiments of the substrate are made from a blend of polyester and rayon, wherein rayon is made using viscose, allowing the substrate to be biodegradable and to handle an increased load of active ingredient.
