Do It Yourself
Do it yourself is good if you are baking a cake but not if you are trying to remove odors. There are many odor remover recipes and some of them work temporarily. But, if you are looking for a fresh clean smelling house you cannot beat the professional or the use of a good, reliable odor remover product such as OdorZout granules. Just sprinkle, let stand for a while and vacuum or sweep up and voila the odors are gone. However, I still maintain that for the best cleaning and mite removal is the professional carpet cleaner. Using OdorZout granules in between professional cleaning will keep your house odor free all of the time.
Let’s look at some of the self cleaning odor remover recipes. When I say self cleaning I don’t mean they will do the cleaning without you. Oh no, they need your elbow grease to make them work. Let’s look at a few Odor remover recipes you may want to try.
To remove urine stains from leather you will need a mild dish detergent, water, a spray bottle and a new sponge. Remove the pillow stuffing. Mix one teaspoon of the mild dish detergent with the water until it’s very sudsy. Soak the sponge in this solution and using only the suds clean the pillow being careful not to wet the leather pillow too much. This is supposed to clean and deodorize the leather.
Did you know that if you have mold in your home you can clean it yourself but first you have to determine what kind of mold it is. An easy chore it you are a chemist. When cleaning mold be sure you wear rubber gloves and a mask and close the room you are working in tightly. Why? Because the spores of the mold will be disturbed and will start flying around the room. You don’t want them to get out and you don’t want to breathe them in either. One solution in cleaning mold is to use 2 teaspoons of Tea Tree Treasure with two cups of water and spray the area and let it stand. A great solution if you know what Tea Tree Treasure is. Another solution is 20 drops of citrus seed and water in a spray bottle and again spray the area and let it stand. If you don’t like to use chemicals then use a dry vapor steam cleaner . Most molds are sensitive to heat and will die from the steam. One more solution is to fill your spray bottle with white vinegar and spray the area. This should eliminate the mold. But then how to get rid of the vinegar smell is another problem.
The best way to eliminate mold is to get a professional to do it for you. A professional will do a quick and safe job in making your home clean of deadly mold. They remove the mold and do not leave any odors from the removal around to annoy you. This would be my suggestion unless you enjoy prancing around a tightly locked room looking like an extra terrestrial.
