BioworldBioworld Odor Neutralizer - 1 Liter

Three days ago, my husband let the dog out for the night at about 11 PM. I hear a small commotion outside, then the next thing I know, the dog has run into the house, rubbing her face on the carpet near my feet. An instant later, the smell hits me - the nastiest, brunt rubber, garlic, formaldehyde combo I have ever experienced. It made me, my husband, and the dog gag uncontrollably. The poor, stupid pooch got too close to a skunk and got hit right between the eyes! And us stupid owners took her into the bathroom to wash her instead of back outside. Dumb, dumb, dumb. We got some of the smell off the dog, but she still stunk to high heaven - and the entire house soaked up the smell in the meantime. Every piece of upholstered furniture, every piece of clothing (even the ones in closed closets and drawers!), all the towels, carpets, curtains, pillows, and rugs, even the dishes and plastic containers in the kitchen - EVERYTHING smelled like skunk spray.In a panic I start trying to find a solution on the Internet, and came across this product. I ordered two 1-liter bottles for next day delivery. While waiting for it to arrive, I used all the home remedies I had on hand: coffee grounds, vinegar in bowls around the house, baking soda, Febreeze and other air fresheners. Nothing brought us relief; they only masked odors for a short period. My husband even came home early from work because his coworkers couldn't stand the smell of his clothes and briefcase. So embarrassing!When this BioWorld product arrived, we were desperate for a solution. And amazingly, this unassuming little product delivers. It doesn't just mask odors, it eliminates them and works quickly. It comes in a concentrated solution, and you can use water to make a solution or add it to your other cleaning products. I added it to all my laundry loads (I think I am on my 20th load of laundry in 3 days!) and to the carpet shampoo before cleaning the carpets and couches with a steam cleaner I rented. I used it in a spray bottle with water to spray directly into the air and washed everything down in the kitchen, even hard surfaces. Also used it on the dog to get out the rest of the smell - it is safe to use on pets, even on doggie faces (I used a washcloth, careful to avoid the eyes). I even put some in the shampoo and body wash we humans in the house use to get the skunk funk off our hair and skin. This thing works wonders. I still catch a small whiff of skunk here and there in the air, but this product made things 100 times more bearable. (Opening the windows and letting a stiff breeze in the house works to get out a lot of the lingering smell in the air.)Skunk spray in the home is a living nightmare - I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. This BioWorld Odor Neutralizer has been the only thing that has helped us regain our sanity and finally get back to feeling normal again. I recommend it 100 percent. I plan on ordering more to keep on hand for the next time the dog is sprayed (I love my dog, but brilliant she is not). For anyone out there who is experiencing a similar crisis, I feel for you. Get this product and wash everything in your house in it. It will work and you'll get through it!

5/15/2016Short version = This product removed skunk odor from surfaces throughout our house, curtains, furniture, floors, everything. Highly recommended that every household keep a bottle on hand for emergency purposes.Longer version = Last Tuesday morning, while sitting at the breakfast table, my wife smelled skunk. We knew there was at least one in the neighborhood, having seen it early one morning about a month ago. However, this time around, our dog was ouside in our fenced-in yard. My wife rushed outside to collect the dog, shooed her in and closed the door. Gracie ran for an area rug and began rolling and rubbing herself on it, at which point our noses told us that she had been sprayed. Within just a couple of minutes, we did any number of things wrong: we let the dog in the house without thinking that she might have been sprayed; we quickly turned on A/C circulating fan; and we threw Gracie in the bathtub for a wash. The circulating fan diffused the odor throughout the house, in every room, on beds and in clothes -- everything. And while giving Gracie a quick wash in the Mythbuster's approved formula of peroxide, baking soda, and detergent seemed like the best first-course of action, letting her run wet around the house, jumping on and off of furniture and beds, was precisely the wrong thing to do.Endless loads of laundry later, both at home and at the laundromat (laundry lady was none too pleased by our skunked-up comforters and quilts, but took pity on us), scrubbing floors, burning incense and candles, I had Amazon overnight a bottle of this product as a last-ditch effort to remove some of the smells. Mixed at 6 ounces/gallon of water, and sprayed on almost all surfaces, it did a really great job removing almost all of the odor in our house. I say almost all, because every once in a while we get a random whiff of skunk that we can't really pinpoint, but I'm certain that if we were to track it down, the diluted solution would remove the odor. We also used it outside on the grass and fence where Gracie got sprayed.If you have skunks in your neighborhood, then you owe it to yourself to keep a bottle of this on hand. It's insurance.
