What is Our Company Mission?

To provide safe, natural and highly effective odor, virus, bacteria, mold, mildew elimination products; paired with years of experience, extensive research and a commitment to service excellence. Educating our customers in the science of odors and providing them with the necessary tools for success, is our highest priority.

Take the Fear Out of Corona Virus and Oxidize it And Other Odors Safely with MOMS by OdorXit!
Are you still wiping down doorknobs, horse stalls and common areas with bleach? Stop! Use Chlorine Dioxide by OdorXit.com. It’s safer and 2.6 times more effective than chlorine on viruses, mold, and mildew, even smoke, dust mite matter and so much more.
Is MOMS (Mold, Odor, Mildew, Smoke) and AQM (Air Quality Manager) Safe?
Absolutely! Spray it on your hands, the horse tack, stalls, and barns and anywhere hands and horses want to go. It’s that safe! Try that with bleach. NOT! Keep your barns, stalls and your home safe with AQM and MOMS by OdorXit – they both contain chlorine dioxide!

Why Oxidize--- and not Sanitize? What is The Difference?

A sanitizer deactivates/kills pathogens, ie kills bacteria and renders viruses harmless. An oxidizer breaks down organic waste products, like ammonia, into their components. Bleach does both of those things just fine. The chlorine dioxide used by OdorXit is safer and 2.6 times more effective than chlorine or bleach. Chlorine dioxide or clo2 is the smartest choice!

What is MOMS and is MOMS Safe For My Family and Animals?

MOMS stands for Mold Odor Mildew Smoke– which are some of the odors this safe and highly effective liquid water and chlorine dioxide product gets rid of on-contact. But what’s chlorine dioxide (clo2) you ask and is it safe for my family and animals? Clo2 is actually chlorine plus an extra molecule of oxygen. That’s why we say it “oxidizes” odors on anything that can be oxidized – changed its composition - with oxygen. It is very safe like most things are when you follow the directions. You can be in the room, barn even stall while this product is working. It doesn’t harm surfaces, fabrics, it doesn’t stain or leave any residue. Yet it is 2.6 times more effective than chlorine and completely safe for humans and animals!

How Do I Apply MOMS?
Mix, spray and let it dry.
Nothing to clean up. It’s that easy!
What is AQM and Is It Safe For My Family And Animals?
YES-- completely safe! AQM stands for Air Quality Manager and is another chlorine dioxide (clo2) based product that safely oxidizes odors, germs and anything that can be oxidized – but by putting the clo2 gas or vapor into the air (instead of into water like MOMS). AQM needs a fan to circulate the gas in the air throughout the room or enclosed area, barn, car, etc. In 3 to 30 days depending on the size of the room, amount of odor or area to oxidize, the source is oxidized and gone.
  • Viruses-- like Covid19
  • Germs
  • Mold
  • Mildew
  • Body odor on riding clothes, fabric etc.
  • Smoke
  • Mothball odor
  • Dust mite matter
  • Pet dander allergens
How Easy Is It To Use AQM?
AQM is very easy to use and completely safe when you follow the instructions that come with each packet.
Open the silver air tight container when you’re ready to use it. Remove the white packet inside and place it inside the plastic protector (included) with a few drops of water and place this behind a small fan.
  • Set the fan on low.
  • And walk away.
  • It’s that easy!

Is It True That OdorXit Uses Essential Oils? Why Is That Important?
Of Course! Why fight Mother Nature with anything other than herself?
For centuries, essential oils have been used in cultures around the world as a remedy for cleaning, hygiene and health problems. In recent years, the effects of these naturally powerful oils have been proven as a viable alternative to modern chemicals used in everyday products, and even medicine. By harnessing the power of highly concentrated essential oils, OdorXit products are the safest way to eliminate unpleasant and sometimes harmful odors from your life.
Adding a little OdorXit to your natural cleaning arsenal, will go a long way; and is a healthier and more planet friendly option than trying to hide odors with “mountain breeze” or “citrus splash”!

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!

OdorXit AQM Air Quality Manager 10g chlorine dioxide odor removal packet
OdorXit AQM Air Quality Manager 10g chlorine dioxide odor removal packet

What makes chlorine dioxide 2.6 times stronger than bleach?

OdorXit AQM and MOMS work on chlorine dioxide (ClO2), an oxidizer that carries 2.6 times the oxidizing power of the waterborne chlorine found in household bleach. The difference comes down to electron exchange: ordinary chlorine accepts two electrons, while chlorine dioxide can accept five, letting it break apart a far wider range of odor-causing and microbial molecules. That is why OdorXit can promise to eliminate the source of a smell rather than masking it. Their tagline says it plainly: "Don't Just Cover Up Odors - Eliminate Them FOR Good!"

How does OdorXit AQM clear the air in a tack room or trailer?

OdorXit AQM (Air Quality Manager) is a dry packet of citric acid and sodium chlorite that combine with ambient moisture to release small amounts of pure chlorine dioxide gas. In 30 Day Mode the packet produces gas slowly over 20 to 30 days depending on humidity, and you can stay in the room while it works; a separate 1 Day Mode is labeled "FOR CAR Treatment Only" and releases all the gas at once with no one present. The gas oxidizes viruses and bacteria, mold and mildew, pet dander, smoke, sweat, dust-mite matter, and medical and cooking odors. AQM ships in a 10g packet that covers 1,000 cubic feet and a 25g packet that covers 2,000 cubic feet.

How is OdorXit MOMS used on horse tack and leather?

MOMS (Mold Odor Mildew Smoke) is the sprayable liquid form of the same chlorine dioxide chemistry, "capable of oxidizing and eliminating all odors on contact." OdorXit recommends it for water-tolerant, uneven, or hard surfaces, naming "tack for horses and leather" alongside floors, handrails, carpet, and stucco walls. You activate it by soaking the included white pouch in a 2-liter bottle of cold water for an hour until the water turns yellowish-green, then pour that concentrate a quarter of the way up a spray bottle, top it off with cold water, and spray or soak the affected area. Unused solution is kept in the refrigerator.

Who makes OdorXit, and where?
OdorXit is a family-owned small business founded in 1999 and operating from Hamilton, Ohio. The company won the Best of Business Mail Order Odor Elimination Products award in 2014 and 2015 and the Best Mail Order Merchandise Company award for Hamilton, OH in 2014. Every product is made in the USA. You can reach the company, (513) 895-1000, or toll-free, with the office located at 3729 Riva Ridge Dr, Hamilton, OH 45011.

Are OdorXit products safe around horses, pets, and kids?
OdorXit formulates around non-toxic, biodegradable chemistry. The companion liquids, OdorXit Eliminator and OdorXit Magic, are described as "non-staining, non-toxic, biodegradable" blends of water and essential oils or extracts that destroy malodor gases on contact. The chlorine dioxide products release only "small amounts of pure chlorine dioxide gas," and AQM contains less than or equal to 0.5 grams of active ingredient per packet. For best results AQM needs at least 40% relative humidity, so OdorXit suggests adding water nearby in drier conditions and placing the open packet behind a small fan on low speed.

Where can you buy OdorXit AQM and MOMS?

OdorXit sells direct from odorxit.com and ships the same day on orders placed before 3PM. AQM and MOMS are also stocked on Amazon, where AQM appears in 10g and 25g chlorine dioxide odor-removal packets marketed for pet, wet-dog, cigarette, and vehicle odors. Because barns, trailers, and tack rooms trap moisture and ammonia, the slow-release AQM packet and the spray-on MOMS together cover both the air and the surfaces of an equine facility.

The Solution Section (FAQ)
Who are the people behind OdorXit?

OdorXit is a family-owned small business founded in 1999 in Hamilton, Ohio. Deb McMillan Meyer (President, OPHP, NPHP, Certified Mold Inspector) is an author and past president of the Ohio Real Estate Investors Association — her specialty is treating mold and odor damage in real estate properties. 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.

What does Ann Pruitt at InfoHorse.com say about OdorXit?

Ann Pruitt, Director of InfoHorse.com: "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 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."

How do I reach OdorXit, and where else can I use it?

Call 1-877-636-7948, email [email protected], or visit odorxit.com. The company is at 3729 Riva Ridge Drive, Hamilton, Ohio 45011. Beyond the barn, OdorXit products handle deodorizing for homes, cars, boats, businesses, plus diapers, bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry. The Odor Wizard online catalog at OdorXit.com indexes hundreds of specific odors and the product and process to handle each — and the Meyer team takes phone calls if your odor isn't in the catalog yet. The diluted Concentrate can be used directly on dogs and other pets during bathing.

What does OdorXit's claim of being 2.6 times more effective than chlorine bleach mean?
The claim refers to the chlorine dioxide (ClO2) that powers OdorXit AQM and MOMS. Chlorine dioxide carries 2.6 times the oxidizing power of the chlorine found in ordinary bleach because it can accept five electrons in a reaction versus chlorine's two. That higher oxidizing capacity lets it destroy a broader range of odor and microbial molecules. OdorXit uses this chemistry to eliminate the source of an odor rather than mask it.
What is the difference between OdorXit AQM and OdorXit MOMS?
AQM (Air Quality Manager) is a dry packet that slowly releases chlorine dioxide gas to treat the air in an enclosed space. MOMS (Mold Odor Mildew Smoke) is the sprayable liquid form of the same chemistry, meant for surfaces you can spray or soak. As OdorXit puts it, MOMS is very similar to AQM except that it becomes a spray-able delivery system. Many users run AQM for the air and use MOMS for tack, leather, and hard surfaces.
Can OdorXit MOMS be used on horse tack and leather?
Yes. OdorXit specifically lists tack for horses and leather among the surfaces MOMS is best suited for. It is recommended for water-tolerant, uneven, or hard surfaces such as floors, door knobs, handrails, carpet, and stucco ceilings or walls. Because it neutralizes malodor on contact, it is well matched to the sweat, mildew, and barn smells that build up on saddles, bridles, and pads. Test on an inconspicuous spot first, as with any leather treatment.
How do I activate and use OdorXit MOMS?
Place the included white pouch in a 2-liter clear bottle filled with cold water and let it sit for about an hour until the water turns a yellowish-green color. Pour that concentrated solution into a spray bottle until it is about a quarter full, then fill the rest of the bottle with cold water. Spray or soak the affected area, and refrigerate any unused portion to preserve it. The yellowish-green tint signals the chlorine dioxide is active.
How long does an OdorXit AQM packet last?
In its 30 Day Mode, an AQM packet produces small amounts of pure chlorine dioxide gas for 20 to 30 days, depending on the humidity in the space. Higher humidity speeds gas production, while drier air slows it. There is also a 1 Day Mode labeled for car treatment only, which releases all the gas in a single day. You can remain in the room during 30 Day Mode, but no one should be inside a car during the 1 Day treatment.
What size AQM packet do I need for my space?
OdorXit offers AQM in a 10g packet that covers about 1,000 cubic feet and a 25g packet that covers about 2,000 cubic feet. For a tack room or small enclosed area the 10g size is often sufficient, while larger trailers, garages, or basements may call for the 25g packet or more than one packet. Measure length times width times height to estimate the cubic footage. Matching packet size to volume gives the most consistent results.
How does AQM actually generate chlorine dioxide gas?
Each AQM packet contains citric acid and sodium chlorite that, when combined by moisture, react to form chlorine dioxide gas. The gas then oxidizes the odor and microbial molecules in the air. The active ingredient quantity is less than or equal to 0.5 grams per packet, so it releases only small, controlled amounts of gas. This is why AQM needs ambient humidity to work.
What humidity level does OdorXit AQM require to work?
AQM needs at least 40% relative humidity to generate gas properly, since moisture is what triggers the citric acid and sodium chlorite reaction. If your space is drier than that, OdorXit recommends adding water nearby to raise the humidity. For best dispersion, the open packet is placed in a corner behind a small fan running on low speed. Without enough moisture, gas production stalls.
Is OdorXit safe to use around horses, pets, and children?
OdorXit builds its products around non-toxic, biodegradable chemistry, and AQM releases only small amounts of pure chlorine dioxide gas, with no more than 0.5 grams of active ingredient per packet. The companion liquids, OdorXit Eliminator and OdorXit Magic, are described as non-staining, non-toxic, and biodegradable. As with any odor treatment, follow the label and use the car-only 1 Day Mode exactly as directed, since that mode is not intended for occupied spaces. For routine air and surface use, the products are designed to be people- and pet-friendly.
What odors can OdorXit AQM and MOMS eliminate?
Both products oxidize a wide range of malodors, including mold and mildew, cigarette, cigar and fire smoke, cooking odors, animal spray, mothball odor, body odor and sweat in clothing, dust mites, and medical or bacterial odors. AQM also targets viruses, bacteria, and pet dander in the air. In a barn setting that covers ammonia from urine, manure, mildew on tack, and trapped trailer smells. The chlorine dioxide attacks the source molecules rather than perfuming over them.
Who makes OdorXit and where are the products manufactured?
OdorXit is a family-owned small business founded in 1999 and based in Hamilton, Ohio. The company proudly states that its products are made in the USA. It has earned recognition including the Best of Business Mail Order Odor Elimination Products award in 2014 and 2015 and the Best Mail Order Merchandise Company award for Hamilton, OH in 2014. The combination of domestic manufacturing and a long track record is central to the brand's identity.
How do I contact OdorXit or place an order?
You can reach OdorXit by email at [email protected], by phone at (513) 895-1000, or toll-free at 1-877-636-7948. The company's address is 3729 Riva Ridge Dr, Hamilton, OH 45011. Orders are sold direct through odorxit.com, and the company offers same-day shipping when you order before 3PM. AQM and MOMS are also available through Amazon.
Does OdorXit only sell AQM and MOMS?
No. OdorXit offers four core products. AQM is the gas-generating packet and MOMS is its sprayable liquid form. OdorXit Eliminator is a blend of non-staining, non-toxic, biodegradable water and essential oils that eliminate the source of most organic and many inorganic odors. OdorXit Magic is a blend of non-staining, non-toxic, biodegradable essential extracts that absorb and destroy malodor gases on contact, leaving the air smelling fresh and clean.
Why is chlorine dioxide preferred over bleach for barn and stable odors?
Beyond its 2.6 times greater oxidizing power, chlorine dioxide works as a gas or activated spray that reaches uneven and porous surfaces bleach can struggle with, and it acts as a mold and mildew inhibitor rather than just a surface cleaner. It does not rely on heavy fragrances, so it removes the smell instead of layering a new scent over it. For ammonia, manure, mildew, and trapped trailer odors common in equine facilities, that source-level oxidation is the key advantage. OdorXit's products are formulated to be non-staining and biodegradable as well.
Can OdorXit treat odors in a horse trailer or RV?
Yes. The slow-release AQM packet is designed for enclosed spaces, and OdorXit notes a dedicated 1 Day Mode for car treatment where the space is unoccupied during use. A horse trailer or RV traps moisture, manure, and mildew odors much like a vehicle, which makes AQM a natural fit for clearing the air. MOMS can then be sprayed on mats, walls, and hard surfaces inside the trailer. Together they address both the air and the surfaces in mobile equine settings.
How fast does OdorXit ship orders?
OdorXit offers same-day shipping when an order is placed before 3PM. Orders are processed directly through the odorxit.com store. For buyers who prefer a marketplace, AQM and MOMS are also stocked on Amazon in sizes such as the 10g and 25g packets. Shipping the same day means you can have the product working on a stubborn odor problem quickly.
Does OdorXit just cover up odors or actually remove them?
OdorXit's entire approach is built on elimination, captured in its tagline, "Don't Just Cover Up Odors - ELIMINATE THEM FOR GOOD!" Rather than perfuming over a smell, the chlorine dioxide in AQM and MOMS oxidizes the odor molecules at their source, while Eliminator and Magic destroy malodor gases on contact. That means the smell is broken down chemically instead of being temporarily masked. It is the reason the products are positioned as permanent odor solutions.
