The present invention discloses an antimicrobial nonwoven cloth, whose raw materials comprising the following components in weight ratio: 75100 parts of polypropylene, 1025 parts of sodium p-styrenesulfonate, 1020 parts of silane coupling agent, 0.151 part of polyhexamethylene biguanidine hydrochloride (PHMB), 0.050.4 part of zinc salt, 15 parts of bamboo charcoal fiber, and 0.010.1 part of nanometer fumed silica. Further, a method of preparing the antimicrobial nonwoven cloth and a mask with antimicrobial nonwoven cloth are disclosed, to prevent bacteria from spreading through the air and saliva.

An ionic oxidation refreshing system for refreshing odorized items, comprising an enclosure to contact the odorized items; an ionizing stage mechanism that produces an ionized ozone gas mixture inside of the enclosure, killing germs, including odor-causing bacteria, viruses, molds, and fungus; and a filtering stage mechanism that neutralizes and filters out any toxic by-products including one or more of ozone, nitric acid, aldehydes, and VOCs resulting from surface oxidation of the odorized items by the ionized ozone gas mixture.
