If you are having the exterior of your house painted, there is an additive that you can add that will also start the process, but you will still have to complete the rest of the steps to keep them at bay.
One of the best products that I have found in eliminating odors is a product called Room Shocker Quick Release from Biocides Systems.
Recently we had a rental property and discovered that tenant that had just vacated the house, was a smoker. Cleaning the house from top to bottom and a fresh coat of paint helped remove the smoke odor some, but as soon as it started raining, the damp air must have “revved it back up again” and you could smell it in the HVAC system. Even changing the filters and vacuuming out the vents didn’t help. The Room Shocker Quick Release was the only thing that worked.
They claim to wipe out stinky odors such as smoke, mold, pet, food and even skunk odors. Now I’ve never had a problem with skunks coming inside my home, but there is a first time for everything and now I know what I can use if this should ever occur.
They even offer a product to remove odors from your pets. I probably should by stock in this company, because I could keep them in business.
If you have an odor problem in your home, car, boat or camper, this may be the product for you.
Well, there you have it. If you should have any of these problems, give these products a try and let me know how they worked for you.
