Room Shocker Strong Odor Eliminator for Home & Office, Eco-Friendly Chlorine Dioxide Odor Bomb for House Interior Up to 400 Square Feet of Floor Space

one of our dogs got sprayed by a skunk-it was AWFUL and all consuming and the smell was everywhere in our house, even in rooms/upstairs where the dog never entered. it was kind of devastating and very overwhelming. trying to wash/scrub/clean every piece of clothing, every dish, carpets, bedding, mattresses, towels, it was ALL compromised and my very hard work was making a small difference if any at all. I found these, bought 4 for my 2600 sq ft house, set them off and it improved the situation mightily but not totally. you have to remove the source of the smell as well, so as I found more things that smelled strongly, and washed or removed them, the smell improved. I bought six more and set them all off and I can say we are finally skunk free. the comments that say it didnt work (there is always one) I am sure they feel that way, but if you dont get rid of the SOURCE of the smell say. musty old carpeting, etc, these won't help. if you have a lingering smell from something that is no longer there, this is a great product. also, we set these off with people in the house, just not in the same room and it was fine. the comment who says that the product says its ok, but they disagree is just that, a disagreement. this IS non toxic, it smells like chlorine for a bit and then that goes too and the product turns into salt water, nothing more. this issue was all consuming for us for weeks and THIS was what helped us finally turn the corner. I highly recommend.

I tried this because the apartment I moved into has a weird smell in the carpet. I Shampooed myself, had it professionally done, tried a number of other products over the course of 6 months and nothing touched it.This did not work either. I thoroughly read the directions and followed all the steps. Additionally, it should state to add the water, once the cup is placed in its necessary location or add top back on, if adding water, until placed. In the process of walking from the kitchen to the living room, it wafted all up in my nose and mouth. I ended up in urgent care due to the chemical vapors irritating my bronchi. Dealing with wheezing, a severe cough and troubles taking a deep breath. It was stated safe for people and pets as long as it wasn't inhaled and my pet also had irritation, constant sneezing for the last 24 hours. Poor guy is doing better now, but I really think better outlined instruction is ideal and it does not seem like people and animals should be present during the 24-hour period of "odor eliminating". Maybe this worked for others, but not for me.

Two words: It works!We bought this after doing a lot of research when we bought an older cabin to fix up (about 1,000 sf). We had a water and a mold issue (though not bad). After fixing the initial issues we detected we also had an odor issue. The whole place smelled moldy and old. We thought about replacing the remaining walls, insulation etc. Instead we set off 3 room shockers (attic, living and sleeping areas), and repeated after a few weeks. Problem gone since.I'm pretty sure this room shocker won't work for every situation but I'd give it a try before embarking on more drastic measures. We've since used it once after a bad storm had some water leaking into our basement (more as a prevention) and no odor after this either. My tip: don't expect wonders after first use, if it gets way better or almost there - do another round a few weeks later.Our former neighbors, on our recommendation, used it before selling their house (dog smell) and they thanked us for recommending it (though house sold to another dog owner so not sure if it made a difference).PS: After we used it the first time we had a lot of dead bugs and spiders laying around that must have come from the attic or the walls so please remember to take your pets with you when you set one off!!!!

We bought our house two years ago from smokers who smoked all day long for years in our home. We hoped after all their furniture, curtains, and carpeting was removed and we painted, the smell would be eliminated, but two years later we still pull clothes out of our closet that have old musty smoke smell or we’ll come home after a long trip and the smell will return somehow. I used the biocide in two rooms now (the first over a month ago and the second 1 week ago) and so far both rooms have dramatically improved and smell clean. However my biggest complaint with this item is that it doesn’t warn you that it will bleach fabrics it comes in contact with. I put this on our bed in the middle of the room, put it in a bowl on a tray, as the instructions suggest this in case the product spills, not because the vapors will damage fabrics. When I returned to the room 20ish hours later, the bedspread had a bleach stain approximately 1 ft wide on each side of the tray holding the bowl that held the cup of biocide. The instructions need to be edited to warn against this. While I’m pleased with results I’m upset at the damage it caused to an expensive duvet cover despite following the instructions. Be warned this will bleach fabrics it comes in contact with!!
