Is It True That OdorXit Products Do Not Contain Harmful Bacteria or Enzymes To Destroy Odor?
Absolutely! Concentrate and Magic each use a different blend of Non-Toxic All Natural essential oils and salts to effectively eliminate and neutralize odors. Using big name enzyme or bacterial based odor removal products are a popular option when faced with an unpleasant odor problem. Unfortunately, those same products can create a larger problem than the one you intended to solve. Enzyme and bacteria based solutions are considered to be “live” and therefore have a shelf life. Exposure to extreme temperatures, sunlight and oxygen can render these “live” entities inactive. If the affected area has been treated with cleaner of any kind, it creates a barrier that can also causes these products to fall short of their intended result.

For example: Pouring a large quantity of one of these inactive solutions on a urine soiled area, and leaving it to soak can cause the urine to re-dilute and spread further, and the affected area to expand; leaving you with a bigger problem than you started with.

Odor Wizard Tip: Using bleach to clean up urine can be dangerous for people and pets, due to the ammonia gas present in decomposing urine. When this ammonia is mixed with chlorine bleach it produces free chlorine which is extremely poisonous, and can cause severe respiratory distress in animals and humans alike.

Does OdorXit Products Also Eliminate Odors Unrelated To Animals and Pets?
You can bet your boots they do! Take a look in your cleaning arsenal, and pull out all the deodorizing products. Is there one for pets? Diapers? Bathrooms? Kitchens? Cars? Laundry? The list could go on! We bet you have at least 3 products in your home that claim to remove odors from your life; when in reality, most “deodorizing” products are just chemicals and perfumes that mask the unpleasant scent with a fruity or flowery smell. Scented air fresheners can add character to your home, but the ingredients in air fresheners/deodorizers are widely unregulated and can cause a whole host of health problems. Our productsare highly effective, safe and all you will ever need!

Note: Using Odorxit Products puts the power of Mother Nature in your hands for a fresh smelling life, wherever it’s needed, without those harmful chemicals.

Is OdorXit Concentrate Effective Without Being Diluted With Water?
In this case, more does not equal better. In order for OdorXit Concentrate to be effective, the essential oils must be diluted with water. Our packaging was created with shipping costs in mind. By offering a highly concentrated product, you get the most bang for your buck. Follow the simple dilution instructions according to the bottle size, and store any excess diluted product in a secure bottle until your next use. You may only need it once, but you’ll always want it on hand. Magic by OdorXit is bottled for personal and household use, and generally does not need dilution. For larger jobs, check out our Magic Product page for dilution and usage instructions.


Why Is Pet Urine Odor So Difficult To Eliminate?

We are so glad you asked, and we love science! Few things on earth assault our Olfactory Senses as does Pet Urine. Popular myth would have us believe that pet urine odor is due to a bacterial issue. In reality, pet urine odor from a healthy animal has very little to do with bacteria. The chart below simplifies the process that leaves us scrambling for air freshener and tempts us to rid our homes of beloved four legged family members.

The ring leader of this odorous operation is Urea Salt. There are two types of Urea Salt, and it is present in human and animal urine alike.One that chemically bonds to whatever it deposited on and the Crystallized version.

Note:
The bonded version is very difficult to remove because it is no longer soluble. The crystallized version is readily soluble in water, but if not removed from the contaminated area, it too will chemically bond to the material.

Carpet is especially sensitive to this process as most carpet fibers and adhesives contain Hydrogen Sulfide, ensuring a continuous reactionary state. Hydrogen Sulfide is also present in the urine itself. Urea Salt is hydrophilic, meaning that it absorbs moisture present in the area; this includes humidity. When Urea Salt, Hydrogen Sulfide and moisture are present at the same time, the result is Methyl Mercaptan Gas. This gas is interpreted by our sense of smell as unpleasant and foul. For our furry friends though, urine odor is a form of communication; not something to be gotten rid of.
What good would marking your territory be, if the rain easily washed your scent away?

So How Does OdorXit Work?
Why, Contact Chemistry my dear! The essential oils present in OdorXit Concentrate eliminate the gas and odors present in the decomposition process. In order for OdorXit Concentrate to be effective it must come in contact with as much of the odor source as possible. Missed areas during use will cause the odor issue to continue. Use diluted OdorXit Concentrate to eliminate odors such as urine/feces/vomit, spoiled food, skunk and animal spray marking.

Special Note:The essential oil blend in Magic by OdorXit absorbs the odor gases in the air and neutralizes them immediately. Magic by OdorXit is great for recurring odors in bathrooms, cars, litter boxes and body odor from pets. Just a few sprays of Magic in the air or on the odor source, will absorbs those unwanted smells.

Where Can I Use OdorXit For My Horses or Dogs?

Here, There, and Everywhere! OdorXit can be used on any water tolerant surface, to neutralize the smell of urine, feces, skunk and pet body odor. It is as safe as soap, and can also be used directly on animals during bathing to eliminate any unpleasant odors they may be carrying with them.


Here Is The Tough Question: Is It True That OdorXit Can Eliminate Cat Urine Smell?

You bet cha! OdorXit Concentrate gives you the power to keep the cat and kick the smell! Cats by nature are not water drinkers. In the wild, they absorb most of their water from their prey. House cats have particularly strong urine because they do not consume as much water, making their urine highly concentrated. By using OdorXit Concentrate to neutralize urine residue when cleaning out the litter box, your feline friends will be less likely to use that basket of clean laundry. Not to worry if Fluffy decided to go outside of the box though, OdorXit Concentrate, a little ingenuity, and a dash of elbow grease can remove cat urine from just about anywhere! Add OdorXit Concentrate to your laundry, and you’ll never know Fluffy was there.

Note: For lasting freshness spray Magic by OdorXit in/near litter boxes, and even on Fluffy! Carpet padding and couch cushion foam can be very difficult to treat, please get in touch with us so that we can consult with you personally about the best course of action.

Can I Spray OdorXit Products Directly On My Dog To Eliminate Odor?
Yes...Spray Away! All our products are safe for skin! Using diluted OdorXit Concentrate during bathing and grooming eliminates odors and gives pets a fresh start. Save the tomato juice for the vegetable soup! (Diluted Concentrate gets the skunk out too!) Magic by OdorXit sprayed directly on pups or applied with a soft cloth, will help to neutralize odors from sweat/oil/anal glands.

How Often Should I Apply OdorXit?
Application procedures vary greatly, and depend on the surface and situation. To find out the best way to Make your Life Smell Fresh, visit our Odor Wizard online catalog or give us a call. If your odor issue is not in our catalog, give us a call and we will be glad to coach you to freshness!

What Does InfoHorse.com Say About OdorXit?
Honestly, we gave OdorXit a really tough problem to solve. For many years the older cat in our office had "missed" the litter box, urinating Next to the litter box. This was not only frustrating, but presented a real problem as we have clients in and out of our office all the time. We tried everything-- many products DID offer improvement-- but None completely obliterated the odor like OdorXit! We have also found that adding a little of the concentrate can safely deodorize our pets here too-- this is a truly amazing product I recommend to everyone!

Martin Meyer, the company's engineer, has earned the title "The Odor Wizard" for his decades of testing and developing odor-elimination procedures. Elizabeth Meyer Connolly, sales and marketing, is Deb and Martin's granddaughter and brings a consumer-perspective lens to the company. The company has won Best of Business Mail Order Odor Elimination Products awards in 2014 and 2015 plus Best Mail Order Merchandise Company in Hamilton in 2014. Products are made in the USA.

What's the difference between MOMS and AQM?

Both are chlorine dioxide (ClO₂) based products, but they deliver the chlorine dioxide differently. MOMS (Mold, Odor, Mildew, Smoke) puts ClO₂ into water — you mix, spray, let dry, no cleanup. AQM (Air Quality Manager) puts ClO₂ into the air as a gas or vapor — it needs a small fan to circulate through the space. Depending on the size of the room and the amount of odor, AQM oxidizes the source over 3 to 30 days.

How is chlorine dioxide different from chlorine bleach?

Chlorine dioxide (ClO₂) is chlorine plus an extra molecule of oxygen — that's why it oxidizes, breaking organic odor sources down into their components rather than just sanitizing the surface. Per OdorXit, ClO₂ is 2.6 times more effective than chlorine bleach on viruses, mold, mildew, smoke, dust mite matter, and similar problems — and it's safer. You can be in the room, barn, or stall while the product is working. It doesn't harm surfaces or fabrics, doesn't stain, and leaves no residue.

What can MOMS and AQM eliminate from my barn?

Per OdorXit, the products eliminate: viruses (including coronavirus family), germs, mold, mildew, smoke, body odor on riding clothes and fabrics, mothball odor, dust mite matter, and pet dander allergens. The products are safe to spray on hands, tack, leather, stalls, and anywhere your hands and horses go. The Odor Wizard's reminder: never mix bleach with urine — the ammonia in decomposing urine reacts with chlorine bleach to produce free chlorine gas, which can cause severe respiratory distress in humans and animals alike.

What are OdorXit Concentrate and Magic, and how are they different?

OdorXit Concentrate and Magic are the essential-oil based products in the line — different from MOMS and AQM (which use chlorine dioxide). OdorXit Concentrate must be diluted with water; the packaging is concentrated to keep shipping costs down. Use diluted Concentrate on water-tolerant surfaces for urine, feces, vomit, spoiled food, skunk, and spray-marking. Magic by OdorXit is bottled for personal and household use and generally doesn't need dilution — its essential-oil blend absorbs odor gases from the air and neutralizes them. Magic is best for recurring odors in bathrooms, cars, litter boxes, and pet body odor.

Why is pet urine odor so hard to eliminate, and how does OdorXit handle it?

Per OdorXit's chemistry: pet urine odor isn't really a bacterial problem — it's Urea Salt chemistry. Urea Salt comes in two forms — a chemically-bonded form (no longer water-soluble, hard to remove) and a crystallized form (water-soluble unless it bonds first). Urea Salt is hydrophilic, so it pulls in moisture and humidity. When Urea Salt + Hydrogen Sulfide (already present in carpet fibers and adhesives) + moisture meet, the reaction produces Methyl Mercaptan Gas — that's the foul smell. OdorXit Concentrate's essential oils eliminate the gas and odors created by the decomposition process — but only if the product reaches as much of the odor source as possible. Missed areas keep the reaction going.
