## Abstract

A system and device for drying and deodorizing coolers includes a core layer including a desiccant and a deodorizer encased within a liquid resistant vapor barrier material. The device also includes a first super absorbent layer including a super absorbent polymer encased within a liquid permeable fabric.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A device for drying and deodorizing coolers, comprising:
a desiccant and deodorizing core member including a desiccant and a deodorizer encased within a liquid resistant, vapor permeable spun bound microporous fabric barrier material; and
a first liquid absorbent member including a super absorbent polymer encased within a liquid permeable fabric and a second liquid absorbent member including a super absorbent polymer encased within a liquid permeable fabric, the first liquid absorbent member being positioned along a top first surface of the core desiccant and deodorizing member and the second liquid absorbent member being positioned along a bottom second surface of the core desiccant and deodorizing member.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The device according to claim 1, wherein the device is in the form of a pouch.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The device according to claim 1, wherein the desiccant is silica desiccant.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The device according to claim 1, wherein the deodorizer is sodium bicarbonate.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The device according to claim 1, wherein the super absorbent polymer is sodium polyacrylate.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The device according to claim 1, wherein the liquid permeable fabric is a polyester or polyethylene nonwoven liquid permeable fabric.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The device according to claim 1, further including a cooler into which the pouch is placed.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The device according to claim 1, wherein the liquid permeable fabric of the first liquid absorbent member is a polyester or polyethylene nonwoven liquid permeable fabric and the liquid permeable fabric of the second liquid absorbent member is a polyester or polyethylene nonwoven liquid permeable fabric.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The device according to claim 8, further including a cooler into which the pouch is placed.

### Claim 10

A system for drying and deodorizing a cooler, comprising:
a drying and deodorizing device, the drying and deodorizing device including:
a core layer including a desiccant and a deodorizer encased within a liquid resistant, vapor permeable barrier material;
a first liquid absorbent member including a super absorbent polymer encased within a liquid permeable fabric; and
a second liquid absorbent member including a super absorbent polymer encased within a liquid permeable fabric, the first liquid absorbent member being positioned along a top first surface of the core layer and the second liquid absorbent member being positioned along a bottom second surface of the core layer,
the drying and deodorizing device adapted for placement within the cooler, wherein the drying and deodorizing device absorbs vapors, undesirable odors, and any liquid remaining within the cooler.
