My Healthy Environment

Anyone who smokes or even knows a smoker can attest to the amazing ability for smoke odor to attach to clothes, furniture and anything else. It can be a constant struggle to try to find effective methods for removing smoke odor. As someone with years of experience covering up and eliminating smoke odors, I have some helpful tips.

The best way to remove odors at home is by utilizing an air purifier. This will actually work to eliminate the odor causing particles instead of just covering them up. For removing odors from your clothing, opt for a clean smelling linen spray instead of strong cologne or body spray. The linen spray will simply give the aroma of clean clothes, as opposed to the obvious cover-up from a dousing of cologne.

One of the classic debates in America is whether dogs or cats make the better pets. As a person who has experience owning both animals, I feel like I have the authority to make a stand in this dispute. Although I love my dog, it seems to me that cats make the superior pet.

Unlike dogs that bark and constantly need to go outside, cats are generally laidback and low maintenance. In my last house we were not supposed to have any pets, but we were still able to keep a cat without being detected. Many people claim that the cat urine smell will ruin a house, but cats are better trained than dogs and keep their odors confined to the litter box in my experience.

A Short time ago, a gentleman approached me about an odor in the apartment that he had just rented for his family. He mentioned about the smell in one of the bedrooms which he thought was cat urine. He figured that the tenants left their cat locked in the bedroom when they would be gone for a while.

The son who’s room it was now was quite dissatisfied by the odor and when the renter discussed the issue with the landlord she was not willing to change the carpet but recommended that they spray it down with something. After trying that twice, the odor was still there. The son’s clothes also picked up some of the smell too. He asked me, can you do anything to help me? To which I responded “I believe I can.”

We ran a small home air purifier in the room for three days. No cat urine smell could be detected any more unless you put your nose right down to the carpet. After a few more days, the smell was totally gone. The boy was very happy and the rest of the apartment also had a fresher smell to it as well. So the whole family was very happy about their experience with the air purifier.

Not Every air purifier will get rid of odors. Some of them only reduce the particulaltes in the air. So if your are wanting to get rid of odors, make sure that you get the technology that also eliminates odors.No longer did this family regret living in the apartment because the air purifier they purchased got rid of the cat urine smell.

My wife and I moved into a spacious new apartment about a month ago. In all honesty, new isn’t exactly the best way to describe the place. It has a certain antique charm that we were looking for, and the location is perfect – just above a quiet downtown deli. When I walk out onto the balcony, I can smell the Dijon mustard wafting up from some satisfied customer’s plate. Back inside, though, the smell isn’t so appealing.

The previous tenant was clearly a smoker because the entire interior is enveloped in a shroud of stale cigarette odor. We haven’t been able to entertain guests yet because of it. A friend recommended that we install an air purifier for cigarette smoke removal. Just a few days in, the product is already working wonders. It’s refreshing to rent an apartment that smells good inside and out.

Have you ever had your dog tangle with a skunk and get sprayed? Well I’m sure that if that has happened to you, you prabably thought about how in the world am I going to remove that skunk smell from my dog? I’m sure that many of us have used tomato sauce to wash the dog in.

Just last year at my mothers place, my sister’s two dogs were outside playing around the house. At dusk, a skunk came walking up to the house and one of the dogs went to chase the skunk away. The dog succeeded but the skunk got revenge and sprayed the dog. Wondering what happened, the dog came into the garage where we were at and crawled under the car. Now not only did the dog smell horrific, but so did the garage floor.

We took the dog outside and washed the dog with tomato sauce-twice. It was a major improvement but both the dog and the floor still had a very unpleasant odor. My mother asked me to go home and get my air purifier and set it up in her garage. I did that and we left the dog in the garage over night with the machine running.

By morning, the dog did not have any noticeable odor left but the floor still had an unpleasant odor. We left the purifier running for another day and then… we checked out the garage. Wow! The garage did not smell any more of skunk smell. My family were now believers that the air purifier from my home works to remove skunk smell. Everyone was relieved to have that awful smell gone.

Next time our dog gets sprayed by a skunk, we won’t wounder how we are going to remove the skunk smell. We’ll get — the purifier.

Do you have a Strategic Air Defense System in your house?  Having clean air to breathe is very important to your overall health. Many of the respiratory problems stem from breathing air that is not pure.

Some of the pollutants that we find in air are Particles such as Dust, Smoke, Pollen, and Dust Mites.  There are also odors in the air that can be harmful to breathe in or maybe they are just unpleasant. Also, there are many micro-organisms in the air that may cause us to become sick. Some examples of these are Staff, Strep and Salmonella.

Whole House Air Purifiers that have Radiant Catalitic Ionization (RCI) technology attacks the micro-organisms in the air and on the surfaces of your home; Thus lowering the chance of getting sick from these micro-organisms.
