Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a deodorizer in which spray, etc. can be prevented or inhibited from entering the interior. A private part washing device 3 functioning as a deodorizer device, provided with: a case 7 provided to the rear part of a toilet bowl 4 provided to a main toilet body 2, the case having an opening part 9 opening onto the toilet bowl 4; an air duct 24 having a blowout port 28 from which airflow is blown out, the blowout port 28 opening from the opening part 9 to the outside of the case 7; and a shutter 10 for opening/closing the opening part 9, the shutter 10 forming an air outlet 38 between the shutter 10 and the case 7 when the opening part 9 is closed. When the opening part 9 is closed by the shutter 10, airflow is guided in a first direction from the air outlet 38 into the toilet bowl 4, and when the opening part 9 is opened by the shutter 10, airflow is guided in a direction different from the first direction.

Abstract: This toilet deodorizing method includes forming a lateral swirl flow of air laterally swirling along an inner surface of a toilet main body and a traversal flow of air traversing the inside of the toilet main body, by discharging air into the toilet main body of a toilet through a discharge port and suctioning air in the toilet main body through a suction port; and deodorizing an odor in the toilet main body by using a deodorizing cartridge (deodorizing device) for eliminating an odorous component of air which flows due to the lateral swirl flow and the traversal flow and is suctioned through the suction port.
