Comments on: How to Remove Odors

on 3/15/2009 For those black stains and awful smells embedded into wood flooring (caused by cat/dog urine))and usually found upon removing old carpeting and padding...I poured a good amount of hydrogene peroxide into a bucket and put an old towel in it to totally saturate the towel. With only gentle sqweezing rather than wringing it out, I spread the sopping wet towel on top of the stain and covered the towel with a plastic sheet large enuough to cover the towel entirely. Let that sit overnight, preferrably 12 to 24 hours; then remove plastic and wet towel from the area. I found the area to be clean of the black stain and the smell gone. If alittle blackness still remiains on the wood, repeat the procedure. The peroxide eats the bacteria and can even eat down to the bare wood which might mean a re-staining of the floor or at least the area that was treated but the stain and smell are for the mos

on 1/13/2009 for smoke of any kind in cars or home get a cup or bowl (not styrofoam), loosely put a paper towel or 2 in the cup or bowl, saturate with rubbing alcohol. It works on some other odors too.
I also use quality coffee. I put some in a bowl, put a little grounds in the bottom & put near any item even clothes that smell bad.

on 12/16/2008 There are products available at Just'a drop dot net for privacy while you go to the bathroom, You can keep the product in your pocket for Public use also works very well because It doesn't cover the odour, It stops it right away before you sit. That's why you have to put it Before you go, If you're Canadian you can your products at justadrop dot ca and You'll get some special on the site.

Have a good drop.

on 12/11/2008 I am a dog breeder and groomer. I deal with problematic odors all the time. There is only one product that really eliminates any and all odor at the source. It does it by disinfecting the entire room and destroying any bacteria, mold and mildew or compound that causes the odor. It's great stuff. And it's easy to use, not expensive and really safe for people and pets and plants and the environment as a whole. Not like the ozone machine or some of those other products out there. You can find it on a website http://www.biocidesystems.com the best part it comes with a money back guarantee if you're not satisfied. I like it when a company can stand behind their product.

on 10/23/2008 Great ideas thanks. I'd like to add another product that I also use to eliminate odors that is totally fragrance free which I really like. I see that someone else here also likes it. Way to go! It's an activated carbon odor absorber called FRIDGE IT odor absorbers. All I do is put a couple in my fridge, under my sink near trash and even some kitchen cabinets and smells coming from kitchen are really gone. Great little product that I recommend to many friends and easy to buy on line from the manufacturer at www.innofresh.com

on 10/21/2008 I found a product that is great for just about any odor problem that I've had. After learning about activated carbon, I found a product called Fridge IT activated carbon odor absorbers. It is totally fragrance free so it doesn't cover up smells but actually gets rid of them. I started using it in the fridge for left over chinese food and stuff. Then, I read how people use it for other things. Right now, I have FRIDGE IT all over my house including under kitchen sink, next to trash cans, some cabinets, my garage and and old hope chest. Works great. I've been buying them from the manufacturer at www.innofresh.com

on 10/19/2008 Sergio702, where does one get ozone generators? While I was out of town, my cat caught and killed a mouse in my living room. It must have been there a day or two by the time I got home and found it. Enough time to stink up the room mightily! I removed the mouse, aired the room, and sprayed a lysol-type antibacterial cleanser on the carpet. The odor remains. What to do?

on 9/19/2008 The best way to remove odors that I have found is a product called BON-CC-41 from BioWorld Products. I have used it personally on MANY different odors with the same results, no odor! I have used it in my paint when I repainted my house, I use it in the bathroom for those not so pleasent odors, I also use it in the kitchen a lot! It works great!

on 9/26/2007 I'm a tech for a smoke remediation company and we use ozone generators to get rid of everything from mold to the stench of death when someone dies and isn't found for days (or longer) Ozone reverts back to oxygen and unlike chemicals does not leave behind any harmful residues. Our ozone generator produces 3500 mg/h of ozone.

on 9/3/2006 To freshen up your toilet and bathroom, after cleaning your toilet add a cap full of Ultra Downy to your toilet and let it sit. Your bathroom will smell great!

on 8/8/2006 I fell asleep with the oven on. The house was filled with smoke 6-inches off the floor. The smoke smell was on everything; furniture, clothes, even the walls.

I peeled and chopped an onion in half and left it on a salsa bowl, one in each room. 48 hours later you wouldn't even know I cooked toast in my house. No odor, all gone, nothing.

on 8/8/2006 Roll up a few sheets of newspaper and place in a tall vase full of water. Leave it for a day or two, or until the paper is fully saturated. The paper, while sucking up the water, removes odors along with it. Works every time!

on 12/22/2005 When trying to remove smoke odors, cut an onion in half and put it in a dish. The onion will absorb the smoke odor within 2 days.

on 11/22/2005 The best odor removal/deodorizer/sanitizer is Nok-Out. It neutralizes the odor at the molecular level.
