This Shark Tank Invention Eliminates Nasty Odors For Good
October 13, 2021
My name is Krista Woods – I’m a mother of 3 and the founder of StankStix.
My product is like a “mousetrap for odors”. You simply place it near the source of the stink and wait 24 hours. In that time, StankStix naturally attracts odor-causing bacteria – then traps it inside and kills it.
It’s the first and only non-toxic, chemical-free product in its class.
My friends told me it was an obvious choice for the investors on Shark Tank…But for almost 2 years, I said NO.
Then I realized that was my fears talking… so I went on. And I’m extremely grateful I did.
But before I tell you exactly what happened, let’s go back a few years…
If you’ve ever been driven mad by nasty odors, you’ll love how this story ends…
It all started after my eldest son’s first LaCrosse practice. I’ll never forget that disgusting smell. “The wet stink.” (Imagine the inside of a sweaty shoe… you can feel it, can’t you?)
I spent months trying to get rid of that disgusting odor. I tried every spray, wash, chemical, and trick – but NOTHING worked.
That’s because the odor was literally LIVING in their shoes and gear…
I needed something that fixed the SOURCE of the problem. (Bonus points if it’s easy to use.)
Since nothing like this existed in the market, I invented StankStix.
I couldn’t believe this didn’t already exist…
To me, the most shocking part about creating StankStix is that that nothing like them existed.
(Cleaning supplies are a multi-billion dollar industry – but I guess it took a frustrated mother of 3 to introduce a solution that people like me actually WANT.)
In fact, my deodorizing sticks are unique in THREE ways:
First, our patent-pending SilverSeal™ technology.
That’s right – the secret ingredient is Silver.
I spent years developing this until it was absolutely PERFECT.
Silver has natural antimicrobial properties that are scientifically proven to stop bacteria growth.
StankStix is infused with this powerful, natural ingredient and other plant-based oils.
No other product has this unique formula. That’s why StankStix work faster and better than anything you’ve ever seen!
Second, the non-toxic deodorizing inserts.
Unlike other cleaners, they absorb moisture on the inside, removing odor from things like shoes… athletic gear… your car… laundry baskets… trash cans… anywhere moisture gets trapped.
(Fun fact: Our product used to be called GloveStix, since they were designed for my son’s LaCrosse gloves. But people kept sending us stories of how they worked for pretty much EVERYTHING… so we changed the name to StankStix!)
Third, StankStix are designed to be the last deodorizing solution you’ll ever need.
They’re made with 100% non-toxic materials that last for 10 years – just replace the inserts every few months and you’re good to go!
The reason my sticks work while other solutions don’t
The problem with most cleaning solutions is that they don’t remove the source of the odor.
They just mask the scent… while odor-causing bacteria like E.coli, MRSA, staph, mold, mildew continue to grow inside.
Think about it… that’s what’s living in your shoes, your laundry room, your car…
When we tried the first prototype, it was like magic.
You really do just put the sticks in… and they get the stink out! No weird masking scents like “rose bush” or “cedar tree” (like other chemical-filled products) – my sticks simply remove the smell so it just smells clean again.
Now, back to Shark Tank…
Going on was intense. I prepared with my husband and kids for months.
The sharks GRILLED me. They said I was a perfectionist. (Is that such a bad thing?)
I almost had a breakdown…
But baseball star Alex Rodriguez broke the ice.
He said I “struck a chord with every nerve in his body” – can you believe that?!
He wished his locker room mates used my product. And then…
Alex Rodriguez and Lori Greiner invested $150,000 in StankStix!
As Seen On
We haven’t looked back since.
My sticks have been featured on FOX, NBC and dozens of other news outlets…
We’ve even won 5 innovation awards, including the Today Show’s “The Next Big Thing”!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
HOW LONG DO THE STIX LAST?
The antimicrobial protection in the stix will inhibit 99.9% of odor causing bacteria growth for a 10-year period. The inserts should be replaced approx. every 90 days for optimum performance. This of course depends on use, how much moisture they are absorbing and what they are being used in but our average customer is 3-4 months.
HOW DO I USE THE STIX?
NO MORE chemical sprays, NO MORE laying in the sun, NO MORE freezer, NO MORE tricks, nose plugs or gagging! Simply place the stix inside your gear (or if they are for your kids they are easy for them to do it themselves) immediately after use and let them do the work for you! They will inhibit 99.9% of odor causing bacteria in 24 hours while also absorbing moisture and deodorizing. When the gear is not in use, and filled with moisture keep the stix in, that’s when they do their best work!
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO REMOVE THE ODOR?
We listen to our customers and thankfully get tons of feedback. Most customers tell us they notice a difference in as little as 24 hours but within a week of using the stix, we have made some of the worst smells go away. Some of the oldest foulest funk is gone within 2 weeks of use!
