What do you recommend for a 4 room, 750 SF apartment? Clean. Painted. No carpet. Cigarette odor is emanating from a 2 compartment refrigerator/freezer

Sometimes a combination of approaches are needed. The initial treatment of gassing off and then dilute the remaining solution into a liter spray bottle and spray all surfaces that can get a little wet. Repeat as needed. If you can get contact with the smoke, you can eliminate it.

We found that washing down the whole interion and exterior, including the bottom, with a solution of ajax dish liquid and baking soda mixed in water ( 1/4 c. Liquid, 1 box soda, 1/2 gallon water) was the only way to purge ours, Odor wrecler worked great on the rest of our house but the frig still smelled horribly. Hope this helps!

I used oder wrecker on a travel trailer that had horrible cigarette oder. I used a two pack of oder wrecker and smell is gone. This was over 3 months ago. Still no oder. I recommend!

Very high chlorine smell. Should not be used unless well vented; warm weather when windows can be open. I used the Odor wreacker down my bathroom drains due to sewer smell from back venting.

I returned my unit to the manufacturer. I found it ineffective for my needs and very noisy. Whether this would neutralize cigarette odors coming from another source other then the confines of your condo would be marginal at best.

� it should help but I would scrub with bleach and repaint. Then use 0 odor to maintain.

Check out Consumer Reports. They also said this is a great rerigerator except for the noise. The noise kept it from being the number one pick. BTW, we just got our new Samsung french door counter depth rerigerator. It is "Whisper" quiet. You have to actually listen to tell if it is running.

thank you. I am getting an evaporative cooler (none of the stores stock them) from Lowe's, which was very helpful. As for noise... it can't be worse than an a/c.

there may be some plasticky smell off a new unit. that just means it was recently manufactured instead of sitting on shelf for awhile. try letting it run on low for awhile. i just keep mine on overnight. it eventually goes away. if it continues still, ask to exchange.

Since the Model 04381 has apparently been discontinueg and filters for it are no longer availible I think your best option is the Hamilton Beach Room Odor Eliminatior Model 04532 using the carbon filters. I've used this combination for almost a year in one room and it does a great job of removing the smoke and odor. Hope this is helpful.

Any suggestions on how someone who lives in a Manhattan apartment can get rid of the smell - whatever is causing it. I can't exactly put them outside on the street to air out. Other than the smell, they are a good size and fine for my needs so if I can get rid of the smell, it would be great.

I recently moved mine from one side of the room to another, into a corner of my living room that seems to harbor cigarette smoke. I did not do this intentionally, I was actually trying to Feng Shui my apartment and needed an earth element there, so I was absolutely shocked when it made such a drastic difference! I smoke in the dining side of my dining/living room combo and watch tv from the aforementioned corner. It DEFINITELY has an impact on the air quality there! I'm on this page because I'm thinking of getting another for my bedroom so I can breathe cleaner air as I sleep.

It seems to do a pretty good job at removing many odors... My guess is going to be the key to cigarette smoke is go ahead and buy two extra Hepa filters and wash the charcoal reusable pre filter once a week for the first month or so. Then next how big is the room? You may need to move it around if you have multiple rooms or they are broken up.

We haven't had that problem, as long as we use the vent fan on the stove. It will make your apartment smell like wood smoke, but that's not a bad thing.

I purchased this ozone machine for my hotel. Often odors are created from smoking, cooking (and anything else that may come to mind). This machine does a great job of permananely pulling the odors out (might require longer use in some cases). Deodorize with air freshener afterwards and follow instructions. Good luck.

Have a good sense of smell and other than when new. There was a bit of plastic odor that went away. My wife never complained and it is in our master bedroom. For a 2 years now.. The first filter a foam whatever is too dense to pass even the slo setting. I removed that and since washable it works better. With that on the front it was making the unit try and draw at the seams where the filter in framed. Still would say it is a good non hepa. The rotational feature is ??? Don't use myself. It is an electrostatic filter so that is a charges filter to attach the pollution. The charging tends to freshen the air as a byproduct. Have a good sense of smell and other than when new.

Hello, I have my living air in the basement on low 750 ft. Any higher than that, it travels through out the next level. We don't need it for two levels but it does both if we turn it up. I don't feel a need for a second unit, because it normally does the job in a day or two max and then you can move it to another level. I don't feel the need to run all the time, but you can. I can get rid of kitchen odors,(cooking fondue, or deep fry fish) in normally 8-12 hours and you can't tell you even cooked a thing.

The T-kjr2 is good for up to two bathrooms. So small apartments would work fine in my opinion.

I bought the 17005 used and it has been giving off a vomit-like odor since I got it. I installed a new pre-filter so I think the permanent filter must be releasing odors. I wish it was washable, not just vacuum - the smells might come out better. I do not want to drop another $40 for a new filter. That would be almost what I paid for the air cleaner!

Hi April This would be the unit that help eliminate the worst of the urine smells ozone is a great oxidizer. There is some things to know to help you with this problem I have been in the carpet cleaning business for over 40 years. So if you have carpet you should have it cleaned first to remove most of the urine steam truck mount should be your best bet on powerful deep down urine removal. There also is a difference if it is a cat or dog. Cats have a stronger urine then a dog and that is from the kind of food cats eat. Now you should have the purifier in the room with the worst urine odor that will help the odor for migrating to other parts of the house. I also can give you more ideas of thing you can do so if you would like a more personal assessment of your problem just give me a toll free call . 800-868-5534 I do take call just about anytime even on Sundays thanks Lou hope I was of some help.
