Frequently Asked Questions About OdorXit® Products

1. What is OdorXit?

OdorXit® is the Registered Trademark for a growing number or truly excellent odor elimination products that are made in the USA and for sale world wide. There is considerable overlap in the odors and uses for the various OdorXit® Products. This overlap has been and continues to be the source of considerable misunderstanding as to which product is best for your particular odor problem. This page will try to explain the general strengths and weakness of each of the OdorXit® products

2. What is OdorXit® Concentrate?

OdorXit® is a combination of water soluble organic salts and oils that eliminate organic odors including all sources of urine, feces, vomit, spoiled food fish and meat, skunk spray, dead rodents and many other difficult odors. When used as directed according to which odor is on what material, OdorXit quickly and permanently removes the odors. OdorXit® Concentrate uses no problematic enzymes (which ARE NOT compatible with detergents or germicides), bacteria, oxidizers or olfactory desensitizers.

3. What is the difference between OdorXit® Concentrate and OdorXit® Magic?

OdorXit® Concentrate uses a combination of counteraction (neutralization), bonding and absorption. This technology permanently eliminates, not masks odors on contact. OdorXit® Concentrate is a “Contact Chemistry”. That means it only works when it comes in direct contact with the odor source. OdorXit® Magic uses several variations of the absorption technology. Because absorption is by definition limited by the amount of malodor material it can absorb, OdorXit® Magic, though very effective, has a limited life and needs to be reapplied periodically. Fire & tobacco smoke, wet dog smell and urine in carpet padding should be treated with OdorXit Magic NOT Concentrate because Concentrate is much less effective on these malodors and materials. OdorXit® Magic is supplied with a low volume mist sprayer that is well suited to treating relative small areas of contamination. If a larger area needs to be treated a trigger spray or pump sprayer can be used by used to spray the material after it has been diluted 3 to 6 parts water to 1 part OdorXit® Magic.

4. How many gallons of solution can be made with OdorXit® Concentrate?

We offer several sizes of OdorXit® Concentrate. A 4 oz. bottle, when diluted with water, will make up to 1 gallon of solution. A 16 oz. bottle will make up to 4 gallons. We also offer a 64 oz. bottle that makes 16 gallons.. A 16 oz. bottle will eliminate organic odors in 1,000 square feet of wood or concrete flooring. If you are working on scent spray on walls and wood work we recommend that you use half the amount of water when diluting the mixture. An 8 oz. bottle of OdorXit® Magic includes a mist sprayer and is applied 5 or 6 pumps per square foot of carpet, flooring or walls.

5. How do I treat solid surfaces?

1. Establish the location of the odor source.
2. Clean and rinse the contaminated areas with TSP ( tri-sodium phosphate) or Spic and Span. Allow cleaned areas to dry completely or use a wet/dry vac to remove the spent cleaner and rinse water..
3. Apply OdorXit® Concentrate mixed and diluted as instructed and allow to dry naturally.

• For very small areas (one time pet accident), a trigger pump sprayer is completely acceptable
• For small areas and taxidermy, a ½ gallon hand held tank sprayer will perform well.
• For larger areas, you may want to consider a 1 or 2 gallon garden or deck tank type sprayer.
• For really big jobs like yards and gardens, several adjustable mixture rate End Hose Sprayers are now available, are cost effective and work very well.
• Warning! Do not use tank sprayers that have been used for bug poison, yard chemicals or deck sealer to apply OdorXit. Always start with a new sprayer and use it only for OdorXit.

6. How do I apply OdorXit® to carpeting?

OdorXit® Concentrate’s unique chemistry makes applying it to contaminated carpeting with a carpet cleaning machine is a natural match. Unlike most odor control products, OdorXit® can be mixed with the carpet shampoo and will benefit from the surfactants (wetting agents) in most shampoos.
*Applying OdorXit® with a carpet cleaning machine will only affect the contaminants in the carpets nap and the top of the backing, though most if not all of the backing actually needs to be treated.

We recommend that you start your carpet recovery effort with a carpet cleaning machine and apply OdorXit® in combination with the carpet shampoo supplied with the machine (2 to 3 ounces of OdorXit® per gallon). There are two benefits to this method of application. The carpet gets cleaned and the wetting agent (surfactant) in the shampoo helps the OdorXit® penetrate more deeply into the carpet nap and backing. On the last pass with the carpet cleaning machine, spray the cleaner/OdorXit® mixture but do not vacuum it out of the carpet. If the odor persists, chances are the padding and/or the flooring underneath the carpet has been contaminated. The flooring, baseboards, trim, etc. will need to be treated. (See applying to solid surfaces)

7. How do I treat scent spray?

Since spray is usually on a vertical surface (wall, window or door frame, door, back of sofa, etc), clean surface with TSP (tri-sodium phosphate) or Spic and Span before spaying OdorXit. Dilute OdorXit® 15 parts water to 1 part OdorXit. Be sure to saturate area and pay close attention to crevices and unprotected trim, bottom of doors, and back side of trim and baseboards.

8. How can I get rid of skunk spray?

Skunk spray on cars, pets and outside surfaces respond very well to OdorXit Concentrate 30 to 1. We recommend sponging the diluted OdorXit® onto the pet, not spraying. It can safely be applied to the face, ears and fur. For indoor surfaces (furniture, carpeting, clothing, crawlspaces, inside car, etc.) and other enclosed spaces, OdorXit® can be sprayed on or try OdorXit® ClO2. This is a sealed packet of powdered chemicals that when exposed to water or water vapor, produces small amounts of chlorine dioxide. The ClO2 acts like a super ozone to oxidize odor sources that are susceptible to oxidation but at much lower levels or concentration than are required for ozone.

9. How does OdorXit® work on mold and mildew?

All mold remediation efforts must start with the removal of the water or moisture source that is feeding the mold. C can remove the odor and interfere with the spreading of the mold fungus. OdorXit® ClO2 will actually kill the fungus and spores to eliminate the mold problem as long as the moisture/water problem has been resolved. We offer 5 gram to 50 gram packets of ClO2 to accommodate a wide range of applications.
