Apartment Usage Guidelines, Cigarette & Cigar Smoke:

Special Note: Odor Away works best after the apartment has been thoroughly and completely cleaned and the carpeting (if replacing) has been replaced and the walls painted.

Follow the step-by-step instructions strictly.

1) Open all cabinets, vents, closets, laundry area, refrigerator, stove, dishwasher to be accessible to odor away treatment. Pull out refrigerator, washer & dryer so Odor Away can get to these areas.

2) Make sure the tablets in water during treatment are not in direct sunlight.

3) If the apartment has a HVAC unit, make sure the HVAC is on vent only to circulate air throughout the apartment. Make sure the HVAC is only recirculating air and not bringing in fresh air from outside (this way odor away flows through the HVAC & vents to eliminate odors. If the apartment doesn’t have a HVAC then skip this treatment).If the apartment unit shares the ventilation system with another unit do not use Odor Away.

4) Do not use odor away at the same time as an ozone machine, ionizer, or in conjunction with other chemicals. Turn off all pilot lights.

5) Use only in well ventilated areas and apartments.

6)  Make sure it has been 2-3 days since use of: a) other odor destroying chemicals,  b) an ozone machine;  c) an ionizer machine before using odor away; d)  painting the apartment.

7) Before using odor away, make sure the apartment or home has been thoroughly cleaned including:

• All Carpeting
• All appliances
• Under and around all appliances including washer & dryer
• Bathrooms
• Remove HVAC air filter in HVAC & replace after treatment
• After painting or replacing carpeting (if needed)

8) Follow all Safety Directions –

• SAFETY DADA SHEET & Safety Directions

9) These step-by-step instructions are for use in “vacated” apartments only. This should not be attempted in an apartment that is occupied.

What You’ll Need to Treat the Apartment Safely

Make sure you have everything you need to treat the apartment before beginning:

• Aerator Mask – NIOSH approved, N100 mask
• Protective Goggles – Chemical Goggles Recommended
• Protective Gloves – Synthetic Latex/Rubber gloves recommended
• 5-6 foot ladder if necessary – if the intake area for the HVAC is in the ceiling…we recommend placing one 16 ounce plastic cup with an Odor Away tablet on top of the ladder so the odor away treatment goes directly into the HVAC and vents to eliminate cigarette smoke
• Clear 16  ounce plastic cups & heavy duty soak proof paper plates (provided) to place under cups on floor & ladder. The cups must be large enough for the odor away tablet to fit in the bottom of the cup. We highly recommend a heavy duty soak proof paper plate under each cup so if there is any spill or overflow it won’t damage the carpeting. Odor-Away.com will not be responsible for any financial liability for any damage to carpeting or flooring.

Step-by-Step Instructions:
Strictly Follow for Treating Cigarette Smoke

1)  Close drapes/blinds/curtains so no direct sunlight is entering rooms, shut all windows, and turn on HVAC vent.

2)  Open all interior doors, closets, cabinets, kitchen cabinets - no exposed food products, vents, closets, laundry area, refrigerator, stove, dishwasher to be accessible to odor away treatment. Open the HVAC intake vent and remove the filter. Remember whatever Odor Away can't get to in a strong enough dosage it won't eliminate.

3)  Place one tablet in each of the plastic cups – wear synthetic latex/rubber protective gloves. Then place all cups with Odor Away tablets onto heavy duty soak proof paper plates per the following: a) 2-4 Odor Away tablets (based on odor) the main living area; b) 1-2 Odor Away tablets (based on odor) in center of the kitchen; 3) 1 Odor Away tablet in each bedroom and bathroom if necessary. If there is no odor in the bedroom and/or bathroom, then don't treat. Cups and plates are provided for your convenience. No water yet.

4) We also high recommend you place an Odor Away tablet where the gas can go directly into the intake area for the HVAC. If the intake for the HVAC is in the ceiling, we recommend you place a cup, plate, & 20G tablet on top of the ladder so it is released directly into the intake for the HVAC. Turn off any appliance pilot lights.

5) Securely put on your aerator mask, & protective goggles.

6) The reason we have you place all the cups and plates in advance is to have you spend the least amount of time in the apartment once you add water to the cups. Under no circumstance should you change the order of these items. Always wear an aerator mask, protective goggles & protective gloves. Your goal should be to as efficiently as possible and as safely and quickly as possible add water to the cups and then leave the apartment immediately.

7) Now, one cup at a time, add enough water (cool or cold water) to cover each 20G tablet by One Inch. Again, add about “one inch of water over the tablet” - be careful to not add too much water. A minimum of four Ounces of water is the correct amount of water to add to each cup. If the tablet begins to overflow the cup, immediately add a little more water to reduce the foam/overflow. If the tablet starts to foam or bubble and the water turns a golden color the product is working. Do not directly inhale once you have added water. Be careful not to spill as it can stain the carpeting. Odor-Away.com LLC, its owner and agents will not be financially responsible for any spills or damage to carpeting as a direct result of accidents when treating apartments. This is why it is important to place the cups on the plates before adding water.

8) After adding the correct amount of water to each cup, please exit the apartment quickly and make sure no one enters the apartment for 12 hours or until the next morning.

9) After 12 hours or the following morning, open all windows to air out the apartment for 24 – 48 hours. The apartment should smell like chlorine in a pool. This is normal and is expected. The chlorine smell typically disappears over the next 24-48 hours based on airflow and circulation from opening the windows, turning on ceiling fans, and running the vent.

10) After treating the apartment for 12 plus hours - Odor Away breaks down and becomes essentially the same as salt water. Pour the remaining water from the cups directly down the toilet. Throw away all cups.

Special Note: if the Odor Away gas can’t get to the odor, it will not eliminate the odor.  Therefore, it is essential to open all interior  doors, closets, cabinets, appliances, pull out the washer, dryer, and refrigerator a little from the wall so the treatment has the best possible chance to eliminate everything on the first pass.It is all essential to clean, paint, and carpet if necessary first. If after treating the apartment, there is still some odor, identify the source and treat that specific area again. It means the Odor Away gas didn't get to the odor in enough concentration. Cigarette Smoke and Cigar smoke is elusive and it might take a second small focused treatment

In certain instances, you can use one 20G Odor Away tablet and dissolve the tablet into at least 3 gallons of water. Once dissolved you can pour directly onto carpeting where you know an animal has urinated repeatedly. This will saturate the carpeting and pad and can eliminate odors in the pad below. It is critical that you test the water with a dissolved Odor Away tablet on a piece of carpeting first to make sure it doesn't damage or stain the carpeting prior to using Odor Away in this manner. Never use Odor Away in this manner if you previously treated the carpeting with any other chemicals or cleaning treatment. Please call us at (520) 971-2166 before attempting. This can cause the carpeting to be stained also.
