   Probably not this issue.  Probably shipping issues.   
      
   Oxygen concentrator zeolite is a lithium compound adhered to stryofoam beads   
   (since only the surface interactions are of interest).   
      
   They use different zeolites for different processes.  For example the zeolite   
   that adsorbs fluoride ion is activated alumina.  I cannot imagine they'd put   
   "dirt", even "white dirt" in a detergent.   
      
   The only reference when searching for an MSDS for OdorZOut I found called it   
   chlorine dioxide... which is a STRONG bleach.  Definitely not a "zeolite".    
   But probably not the right stuff.
