Hello,
Smelleze® pouches start working right away to draw out the odor-causing mothball chemicals like a strong magnet and eliminate them permanently. They are engineered to work continuously 24/7 until your problem is solved. However, you might not notice the difference immediately because it’s absorbing the odors rather than releasing a scent to mask it temporarily like an air freshener. But rest assured, you’ll smell the difference soon enough and feel better about breathing cleaner air.
Although Smelleze® begins to eliminate the odor causing chemicals immediately the total time it takes to solve the problem will be dependent upon the following factors:
Whether the mothballs have been found and removed.
If all the mothballs have not been found and removed, they will keep on vaporizing for 6-10 weeks to produce new odors. So the Smelleze® pouches will be working double duty to remove both newly produced odors and old odors during this time. Once the mothballs are completely vaporized, the process of odor elimination will be speed up since the pouches will only have to deal with the remaining odors.
How quickly the mothball odors are released from the material/s causing the problem.
The quicker the absorbed mothball chemicals are released, the quicker they will be eliminated by the Smelleze® pouches.
The amount of Smelleze® pouches that are used.
It’s important to make sure that you using the correct amount of for the area you are treating since these are absorbent products. We recommend using at least 1 pouch/150 square feet or more. Using less than the recommended amount of pouches will extend the time it takes to solve the problem and lead to disappointing results.
Physical factors such as air flow, temperature, humidity also affect how quickly the Smelleze® pouches work. Using a fan or placing the Smelleze® pouches on air vents will accelerate the odor removal process.
Rejuvenate the pouches according to the severity of the problem (see below) for the best and fastest results
The important thing to remember is that the Smelleze® pouches will outlast your problem because they can be rejuvenated according to the following schedule and reused as long as it takes to completely eliminate your odor problem.
Strong Odor: Rejuvenate once a week
Medium Odor: Rejuvenate once every 2 weeks
Weak Odor: Rejuvenate once a month
Maintenance: Rejuvenate once a quarter (3 months)
To rejuvenate the Smelleze® pouches, simply heat in in your microwave for 2-3 minutes or expose to direct sunlight for a day. It’s as easy as that!
