Carpets and Flooring

On most carpets, what appears to be a surface problem generally involves at least the carpet's nap and backing, very often the padding, and floor under the padding are also involved. When you consider that a 30 pound dog can expel 1/2 cup of urine per incident, and one incident is rarely the case, the amount of diluted OdorXit needed could be 1/2 to 1 gallon for an area 2 feet in diameter. Remember that the OdorXit solution must come in direct contact with the odor producing sources in the carpet. To that end, we recommend that a carpet cleaning machine be used to apply OdorXit in combination with the detergent supplied with the machine (2 ounces per gallon). There are two benefits to this method of application, the carpet gets cleaned, and the wetting agent in the detergent helps the OdorXit penetrate deeply into the carpet nap and backing.

Urine contamination of carpet and padding will eventually destroy the backing on a carpet. Regardless of how effective OdorXit is at eliminating organic odors, it will not restore rotted carpet backing to its former condition. I.E., there is a point of no return for carpet.

Heavily contaminated carpet will almost always have to be pulled back and sprayed on the back. Carpet padding is always made of some type of foam material which is a haven for urine residue. Because padding in all cases is inexpensive and easy to handle, we recommend you cut out the contaminated padding and replace it with new. Spray both the floor as described below and the back of the carpet. When the odor is completely gone, tape the new padding in place and reset the carpet on the tack strips.

An important point that can not be made too strongly is that pet urine spots on carpet have been left to soak in for hours, or days if not weeks. Unfinished the flooring under carpet padding is capable of soaking up an enormous amount of liquid (urine) too. Even finished hardwood flooring has cracks between the boards that harbor a significant amount of liquid and it will wick liquid a long way from the initial spot on the carpet. In both cases, OdorXit solution must be applied so that it has a chance to soak into the unfinished flooring or into the cracks between the boards of plank flooring. We have found that specifying a certain amount of OdorXit to be applied per square foot is not practical, however, specifying the time it takes an application of OdorXit to dry on a the floor is effective. Hardwood floor applications should take 10 to 15 minutes to dry in a room at 60F to 70F, particle board should take 20 to 30 minutes. OdorXit concentration for this application should be 4 ounces per gallon. The concentration is less important than getting the solution in contact with all of the wet and/or dried urine in the carpet and underlying floor.

Applying OdorXit with a carpet cleaning machine like a Hoover Steam and Vac carpet cleaner is very effective. These units can be used with or without detergent when applying OdorXit to carpeting though the detergents wetting agent markedly increases the penetration of OdorXit into the carpet. Use 2 ounces per gallon and use the machine as described in the instructions for cleaning a carpet. The advantage of this method is that a large amount of liquid is applied to the carpet so that all the nap is wetted with solution and the machine retrieves the excess. This method does not wet the padding or underlying flooring enough to eliminate harbored odors .

One of the more effective ways to spray OdorXit is to use a new 1/2 to 3 gallon tank sprayer with the fan type nozzle. Sears and Lesco sell several really good ones. See Applicators for lots more information. Note: DO NOT use a sprayer that has been used for yard chemicals. The smell of these chemicals does not wash out of the sprayer and will contaminate the carpet with smells OdorXit can not eliminate.

Feces Odors

Removing pet feces from flooring and carpeting is much easier than urine because it is not a liquid and it does not produce the urea salts. Removing the bulk of the material and washing the area with detergent will remove most of the odor and stain. If the stain is not completely removed with normal detergent, a more aggressive approach is indicated. As an example, Lloyd's (mentioned above) or carpet cleaner will remove the rest of the stain with a little scrubbing. Finally spray the area thoroughly with OdorXit Concentrate mixed 1 ounce per quart of water and allow the area to dry naturally. In an hour or so, the smell will be removed for ever.

If you are dealing with an overflowed toilet, the problem is a bit more difficult because of the large amount of water added to the urine and feces. And if the problem occurred in rental property, it is likely that hours or days have passed since the overflow occurred. After the plumbing is cleared, and the bulk of the overflow has been mopped up, spray the area thoroughly with OdorXit Concentrate mixed 1 ounce per quart of water and allow the area to dry naturally. Be that areas that are hard to clean like cracks if the tile, the area under the vanity and heating vents in the floor get thoroughly wetted with OdorXit solution.

Bathrooms

Using OdorXit to eliminate urine, mold and mildew odors in bathrooms is a common and effective application. The question is, where to use it and how strong should the solution be? It depends on what the area around the toilet is made of and covered with.

If the area around the toilet is all ceramic tile, wash the area with spray cleaner and spray with OdorXit solution, making sure that all the grout is wetted, as well as the tile and the toilet. Make sure you get the area under the tank. If the walls are covered with wallpaper the problem will be a bit more difficult. The paste that holds the wallpaper on the wall is water-soluble. This means that the water in the diluted OdorXit will tend to cause the glue holding the wallpaper to release. Replacing the wallpaper may be necessary in some cases simply because the urine has soaked through the paper into the wallboard. If this is the case, remove the wallpaper and residual paste, then spray the wallboard with OdorXit to eradicate the odor source in the wall and allow it to dry completely. Replace the wallpaper with a water-resistant verity, if possible.

If the wall covering is Marilite (plastic coated masonite), make sure the seams and any breaks or cracks in the surface are flooded with diluted OdorXit. If the floor is carpeted, refer to the Carpets section. OdorXit concentration for this application should be 2 to 4 ounces per gallon.

Basements Mold and Mildew

Basements are great places for odors to hide and grow. Mold, mildew, dead animals, dirty clothing, washing machine run over, and leaky walls all add to the nasty smells found in basement and cellar areas. OdorXit will eliminate these and other odors on concrete walls and floors as well as on wooden rafters. OdorXit concentration for this application should be 2-3 ounces per gallon.

If there is urine contaminated carpet glued to a concrete floor either in a basement or a living area it is almost always necessary to remove the carpet, rubber backing and the glue to permanently eliminate the odor. It seems that multiple applications of urine will slowly penetrate the concrete, rubber backing and glue combination of the carpet. A single application of OdorXit will penetrate about the same a one application of urine. This clearly in not sufficient to have OdorXit come in contact with all the urine soaked into the rubber backing, glue and concrete. There are carpet glue release and removal compounds available to make this nasty job a bit easier, but it is still going to be a nasty job.

Removing mold and mildew odors with OdorXit involves simply spraying the contaminated areas. The problem is that mold and mildew are living organisms that live and grow where ever there is water and no sunlight. To permanently remove mold and mildew odors, one must get rid of the source. This always involves depriving the effected area of water. The hard part is to determine the source of the water. Once found, it must be eliminated by giving the water another place to go or sealing the area that is damp. Selling is by far the poorest choice because (as an example) sealing the inside of a block foundation wall can cause the wall to cave in when there is sufficient water standing against the outside of the wall. Installing drain pipes outside the wall or re-gradeing the soil is very effective. The last choice is to drain the water into a sump pit or floor drain. All basement water problems should at minimum be evaluated by a professional to avoid costly mistakes.

Pet Spray

Both male and female cats and dogs will "mark" walls, floors, furniture and clothing with their scenting sprays. This is a means of marking their territory against trespass by other animals or simply establishing their dominance over other animals in the house or apartment. Hormonal spray is not urine even though it is ejected from the same area of the animal. It has a very heavy musk odor which is very different and often much stronger that urine. Hormonal spray areas are often difficult to find for several reasons. First, the effected areas are usually very small, consisting of what looks like a slightly yellow stain running down the wall and behind the shoe strip. Second, effected areas on furniture and carpet are much harder to see because the stain is not easy to see.

If the affected area can not be visually spotted, the most effective way to find the area is to completely air out the room and sniff around until you find the specific area(s) that needs treatment. Another method that is sometimes effective requires a darkened room (preferably at night) and a 12 or 18 inch black florescent light (long wave UV only). Illuminate the walls and floor at close range. The effected areas will sometimes but not always light up yellow or light green depending on the presence of florescent material in the animals food and scent spray.

Preparing the affected area before applying OdorXit is very important to successfully eliminating the odor. Washing the area with a good spray on cleaner and using a dish scrubber or brush and rinsing with water will remove most of the surface material but will not remove the part that has soaked into the wallboard, paneling or grout. This will reduce the amount of material that OdorXit must eliminate. Because scent sprays are so much stronger than normal odors, one application of cleaner and OdorXit may not completely eliminate the odor. The saving grace is that scent markings are usually small. Therefor large quantities of even high concentration OdorXit are not normally necessary. Again OdorXit must be allowed to soak into the affected area for it to work. If the spray is on the wall, apply OdorXit to the entire area, wetting the wall, the baseboard, and the area of the floor adjacent to the wall (spray splashes). If the spray is on a piece of furniture or carpet, have the area professionally cleaned before applying OdorXit . If the cleaning person will cooperate, add an ounce of OdorXit to his cleaning solution. It really helps! OdorXit concentration for this application should be 4 to 8 ounces per gallon starting with the weaker solution.

Floods and Sewer Backups

Floods and Sewer Backups, aside from being a health hazard, often leave a large amount of odor causing material behind. These odor causing agents soak into walls and drywall, wood, and even concrete. Since the odor causing agents almost always contain human or animal waste products, OdorXit is uniquely suited to eliminate the orders. The difficulty in dealing with these problems compared to simple basement mold and mildew, is that the contamination is everywhere the water was, and the amount of contamination left behind can be massive.

The first step is to remove as much of the contamination (sludge) as possible by what ever means is available as soon as possible to prevent if from drying on surfaces. Electric or gas driven pumps will remove the gross amount of water, or just wait for the water to go back down the drain, but this will not remove the sludge without intervention. Intervention includes hosing down the entire area while the area is draining and wet. If at all possible, do not let the sludge dry. Once sludge dries, it is like cement and very hard to remove. Additionally, the sludge contains massive amounts of odor causing material and though OdorXit will eliminate these odors, it is much more effective and cheaper to wash as much away as possible before applying OdorXit.

Second, as soon as the water and sludge has been removed and before the area has dried, hose and/or scrub the affected area with low suds detergent. Rinse and sweep or squeegee the area nearly dry.

Third, spray the entire effected area with a low concentration batch of OdorXit. Two ounces of OdorXit per gallon of water should be sufficient for the first application. Don't forget the inside of the furnace, the bottom of the steps and shelves...everywhere!

After the affected area has dried and aired out for several hours, check the area for odors and treat any persistent areas with the normal consternation of OdorXit (4 ounces of OdorXit in 1 gallon of water).

Garbage and Spoiled Food

Garbage, spoiled food and rotting meat odors can all be eliminated with OdorXit. The Odor inside a turned off refrigerator or under a sink or counter where food has been allowed to spoil can be treated easily. First remove the bulk of the spoiled food by sweeping and/or washing the area with detergent and water, and then spraying thoroughly with the normal consternation of OdorXit (4 ounces of OdorXit in 1 gallon of water).

Refrigerators need to be thoroughly cleaned before spraying with OdorXit. Even the freezer should be completely defrosted, washed and strayed inside and out. Seams on the interior and gaskets are both areas that need special attention while washing and spraying because they both are areas where spilled foods hide, decompose and produce bad odors. An hour sent cleaning and spraying OdorXit on a really smelly refrigerator can restore a $300 unit to service instead of replacing it with another.

Spraying the inside of a garbage can will reduce but often will not eliminate the odor unless the can has been rinsed out prior to spraying because the small chunks of material left in the can do not get soaked with OdorXit. As the material continues to decompose, additional odor is produced.

The odor of sour milk in fabric like car seats or carpeting can be eliminated by washing the effected surface area with detergent and water, and then soaking the fabric and padding with low consternation OdorXit (1 or 2 ounces of OdorXit in 1 gallon of water). In the case of foam padded seats, several treatments from both top and bottom may be necessary. This is because the foam has a tendency to hide material in nearly inaccessible areas. Unless you really soak the foam, the odor often will return (though substantially reduced) when the car is left in the sun for several hours with the windows closed.

Refrigerator Odors

Refrigerators that have been turned off and left closed have a truly unique odor that is normally very difficult to eliminate. However, with a little work and OdorXit you can recover even the worst smelling refrigerator you have ever seen. You may want to take the unit outside to do this first step so that you can use a garden hose to rinse out the really bad stuff. Completely defrost the unit. Remove the spoiled food by scrubbing the entire interior of the refrigerator with detergent and hot water. If the freezer is not built into the walls of the unit use a long thin brush to get between the freezer and the wall. Rinse completely and wipe dry..

Spray the entire interior of the refrigerator with OdorXit mixed 4 ounces of OdorXit to 1 gallon of water. The freezer should also be strayed inside and out. Seams on the interior and gaskets are both areas that need special attention while washing and spraying because they both are areas where spilled foods hide, decompose and produce bad odors. Finally, in the back of many refrigerator there is either a hole in the interior where 2 tubes emerge from the insulation or there is a small passage that connects the freeze secton to the refrigerator section of the unit. Spray this area throughly because it if so difficult to wash! Close the doors when you are finished spraying the entire interior of the refrigerator. The next day your refrigerator will be ready for use without the nasty smell! An hour sent cleaning and spraying OdorXit on a really smelly refrigerator can restore a $300 unit to service instead of replacing it with another.

Vomit Odors

Removing vomit odors requires a 2 step process. The first step is to remove the bulk of the vomit material and thoroughly wash the area with a detergent that is appropriate for the material contaminated with vomit. Be diligent in removing as much of the dissolved vomit and detergent/water solution as possible (a Wet/Dry vacuum works great). Remember, vomit contains a significant amount of stomach acid, which will destroy many materials if left to do its damage. If the source is a small pet, the cleaning step can be as easy as blotting up the vomit with a paper towel, for larger animals and humans, the cleaning step must be more aggressive.

The second step is to completely wet the area with OdorXit mixed 1 ounce per quart of water and leave it to dry (slowly). OdorXit alters the odor causing compounds so that they will not produce odors.

Auto carpet is often more difficult because it is thin and has a thick absorbent padding (sound deadening material). Additionally, cars are exposed to very high temperatures when left in the sun. The high temperatures will make what would have been a small problem in a house carpet, much larger in a car. However, the solution is the same though it may be necessary to remove both the carpet and padding from the car to wash and rinse it completely. Rinsing with a garden hose and nozzle is very effective. After thorough rinsing, allow both the carpet and padding to dry. Apply (by spraying or pouring) diluted OdorXit (32:1) on the affected areas (the ones the still smell bad) and allow to dry slowly (not in the sun). When the OdorXit is dry the odor will normally be gone for ever. If it is not, which is occasionally the case for vomit that has been left for several days, apply a second dose of OdorXit solution. More that two applications is almost never required.

OdorXit is not another cover-up, it actually eliminates organic odors on contact using one of severalchemical actions without creating dangerous by-products as do many other products. We are so sure that you will be successful with OdorXit, we offer a 100% money back guarantee.
