Searching for carpet odor solutions

Carpet or rug smells bad?  How do you get rid of carpet and rug odor ? How to get rid of the smell or is it possible to absorb the carpet odors for good.  A good carpet cleaning, is the first thing needed to do.  If that does not take care of the smell then try Fridge it odor absorbers. Yes it  works for carpet and rugs as an odor absorber for carpets.

Odors in the carpet has not to do with the top level cleaning of dirty carpets,  it has to do with dirt and liquids such as urine going down into the carpet fiber, carpet backer and into the padding.

Most carpets that are cleaned get the surface dirt, some steam clean gets the fiber soil, but not much gets the padding clean.  When a carpet is cleaned the moisture wicks down and forces the moisture into the padding layer, then stain and odor stays and the odors returns in short time. 

When you get your carpets cleaned they spray a fragrance into the carpet when they use a cleaning product or place it in the stain resistance spray they add after they finish cleaning.  To some noses this is not a pleasant smell and they describe it as still having an odor.

Determine the type of odor that is in the carpet, if it is a pet stain, then you need to carpet clean all layers and then use a odor absorber to collect the remaining odor and trap it. If it is a musty smell in the carpet or cigarette smell in the rug, then a few odor absorbers should do the job and cleaning is not needed.

General traffic dirt on your carpet, then a cleaning of the carpet is all you will need. Body or foot odor, then an air-freshener or odor absorber in addition to the cleaning is needed.

If the odor is from spilled drink or bottle, like milk or soda.  Spot clean the spot with water, mild soap and lay a paper towel over the spot to wick up the liquids. Then use an odor absorber to gather up the odors and get them trapped at the localized level.  If the odor is from milk or baby formula that is spilled , it needs to be cleaned right away since it will have a sour smell that will grow over time with heat or humidity.

If the odors are from mold or water damaged carpet then professional carpet restoration help help is needed, including removing the pad, replacing carpet and treating the cement.  In that case, once treatment is done, then the sour smell can be controlled with odor absorbers. If it is ground in food, clean the area of the carpet and use an odor absorber to gather the odor up. 

For carpets, I recommend the wafer odor absorber products, like Innofresh odor eliminator, or for bigger areas use Fridge It Charcoal odor cubes.  One to two is needed for each 8′ x 10′ area.  Place them under the couch, or under the coffee table, to be sure they get the odor captured close to the source. Give it 24 hours and you should be smelling odor free

Top 5 ways to get rid of locker room odor.

There have been a lot of questions on how to get rid of locker room smells and what to do about smelly socks and  how to getting rid of the odor.  Add on how to get rid of gym bad odor which seems to always be a top item on the to do list.

Athletes odors and smell issues are well known.  Just as they are hero’s in the high schools, colleges, and professionally odor do come with the game and do follow.

Here are the key odor issues :

1: Smelly socks. If you wear a sock once and it smells, it is not the sock, it is the sports shoe.  Also foot odor can be a big smelly problem.   When you wear socks more than once with out washing them, they are going to have odors.  Wash them!!!  For getting rid of odors in sports shoes or sneakers, use a naturally activated charcoal odor absorber like Innofresh odor Eliminators www.innofresh.com .  Place an absorber in each shoe and the odors will be absorbed quickly.

2: Athletes feet or Foot Fungus.  If your foot oozes, or has a cut or blister, then the odor will transfer to the sock.  If your skin is pealing off  in the shoe, the sock will smell of dead skin. Get to a foot doctor, and be sure the area is clean and kept dry. Keep the sport shoe dry or dry it out in between.  Do not leave it in a gym bag that will keep moisture in.  For regular foot-ware odor, an odor absorber in each shoe will work fine.

3: Sport shoes or sneakers that have moisture is going to have  ongoing odor.  Change the insert, place an odor absorber in the shoe each night.  Do not leave your shoes in the gym bag if moist.  They need to breath and they need to have the odor absorbers.

4: Gym clothes and gym bags.   The gym bag can stink just because of the material it is made of, or because of the smelly clothes and shoes in the bag, which makes it enclosed and absorbed the odor into the materials.  If the gym cloths still smell after they have been washed,  There has been an odor transfer that has happened and you need get an odor absorber into the bag to stop this transfer of odor.

5: The locker you store your gear in will have the odor of the last few people who have used it and have left an odor profile in the locker.  Keep an Fridge It Odor absorber with you, that you are using in the gym bag and toss it in the locker so prevent odor transfer.

My ice tastes like onions. Why?

Why does ice taste like onions and have a funny odor?  I was watching Lipstick Jungle,  when there was a line of the story that asked a question ?  She took a drink, did a sniff and asked:  “Whey does my ice always taste like onions?”

I am glad she asked. Your ice absorbs odors, so if you have onions in your refrigerator, it is transferring into and onto your ice.  Another place for a bad taste or smell is ice machine. It may give the ice a plastic taste. And that may be what you think makes your ice tastes like onions. 

So how do you get ice not to taste like onions and still keep food in your refrigerator and freezer?  I suggest you use an activated charcoal odor absorber in your freezer and in your ice maker catch bin. It will absorb the odor, and not transfer the taste to your ice.  The ice will taste great and we can all stop questioning, why our ice tastes so bad. 

The best one to use for this problem is a naturally activated charcoal odor absorber called Fridge It.  it really makes your ice taste better.  Plus your freezer and fridge will also be odor free.  Plus it lasts up to 6 months and it works really well for refrigerator odor as well as bad tasting ice problems.

Why activated carbon works to rid odors.

Activated carbon works and is a natural material that is environmentally safe.  The charcoal  is treated with steam at a high temperature that results in a material filled with millions of microscopic holes and pores inside and on the surface, which make activated carbon one of the most porous materials known. 

 

Just one gram of activated carbon has the surface area of two tennis courts.  This gives the charcoal absorbers the ability to absorb enormous amounts of smells and odors out of the air which results in clean fresh air in a small product of this size.   

  

I use the product in many areas of my home and the activated carbon odor absorbers can be found at Innofresh  Products www.innofresh.com and also at  Fridge It odor absorbers www.fridgeit.com .  These products have these microscopic pores that really take the odors and eliminate then.

 

The amount of surface area is important since this is the best way to capture the odors. Odors pass through the ventilated activated carbon filters and pulls the odors from the air, holding them in the micro pockets.   When odors pass through the filter, they attached to the carbon pores and are trapped. 

 

The design is patented and  and quite innovative with a ventilated air flow that allows for the large amounts of air to pass through the surface area.  it results is a very effective  solid odor absorber  that does not have small granules, powders or carbon dust that can be found in other products.    For more information contact customerservice@innofresh.com or www.innofresh.com  or call 602-866-0411
