Back to the Main FAQ How do I remove Rodent Urine and Feces Damage?
I very seldom write a letter like this. I'm writing to tell you about the excellent success we have had with your product, ATX’s Odorkill & Stain Remover.
It saved the interior of a $120,000 Special Order, 1989 Porsche Sportster, it saved our customer at least $11,200, since he did not have to replace the compete interior. One of our very good customers had stored his car in a garage for over 2 years.
When he removed it, he found that it had been infested with rodents. They had defecated on every square inch of the interior, the carpet, dash and upholstery, and on the inside panel. The smell of urine and feces even permeated the fabric of the convertible roof. Our clean up shop, cleaned, shampooed and treated the interior with "agent orange" (a citrus cleaner). We had done this 3 times, but the stench was still the same and just as strong. Now, it had the smell of orange rodent urine. It made everyone who came in contact with it nauseous.
We also tried baking soda, perfumes, and everything else in our shop, but to no avail. We then advised our customer that he must replace the entire interior at an estimated cost of $11,200. When you came along and suggested that we try ATX’s ODOR KILL & STAIN REMOVER we were dubious.
You personally treated the interior one time by spraying and saturating the carpet, the doors, the leather upholstery, the dash panel and the convertible top. After this one treatment, the horrible mix of stenches was completely eliminated. There was absolutely no residual odor.
My customer was elated at this simple, effective bio-technological low cost solution! I am pleased to be able to recommend ATX’s ODOR KILL & STAIN REMOVER on all of our vehicles.
Thank you for introducing us to this superior product. Dean Pavia
How do I remove Gasoline / Kerosene Spills on auto carpet and upholstery?
Gasoline / Kerosene Spills on auto carpet and upholstery
What has occurred is that the petroleum has gotten into the open cell urethane foam & carpet padding and is fermenting and out - gassing. You must get enough Odor kill solution into the foam padding and carpet so that it can digest the residual organic petroleum molecules.
Mix it 10 parts water and 1 part odor kill in a clean spray bottle. Generously spray and / or pour the solution on the upholstery and carpet so that it gets into it completely -- top, under / bottom.
If possible, try to pull the carpet up so that you can get to the underside. Saturate it heavily, place a wet towel, soaked in the Odorkill solution under the carpet spot, and lay the carpet back down on it. Leave it there for at least 8-12 hours.
Also put a damp towel soaked in the odor kill solution over the topside of the carpet area for 8-12 hours. Take it up and check for odor. Reapply if necessary. You will need to perform this treatment 4-5 times, over about 4-5 days. It will get better each treatment, so, keep doing this until the mal odor and stains are gone.
The amount of time required to digest the petroleum will depend on the amount of petroleum that was spilled. The enzyme solution is working when it has moisture. It stops working when it dries.
Then let the area completely dry. You may have to use a fan to remove any moisture. If, it does not completely dry it will mildew will grow in the damp areas.
(A new treatment of the solution of Odor Kill will also kill the mold and mildew.)

How do you remove cigarette odors?
Cigarette smoke in a dwelling area
The key is that the mixed solution must come in contact with the smoke in order for it to digest the smoke molecules. If there is residual smoke that could not be reached by Odor Kill, it will not be digested and removed.
So, it will be important to get the solution as deep as possible into the carpet, upholstery, a/c ducts, all surface areas, ceilings, walls, all surfaces, under furniture, any place that smoke molecules can go, etc.
Mix it 10 parts water and 1 part odor kill in a clean spray bottle or 3 gallon garden sprayer.
Generously spray the entire areas. Then rub it in with your hands where possible, and let dry slowly. The enzyme solution is working when it has moisture. It stops working when it dries.
Don't forget IT IS NECESSARY to run the, fan only, of the air conditioner so that OK can eliminate the odors inside the unit.
Spray the filters and heavily mist the return ducts so that the solution can get in and digest the smoke molecules on the walls of the A/C ducts. The air movement also helps to disseminate OK throughout the interior of the dwelling area, itself.
After drying check for smoke odors and smell. Re-apply if necessary. We also have directions on our site, which you can refer to.
Yes, we offer a money back guarantee for all situations and applications. See our guarantee below.

How do you remove smoke odors in a camper?
Smoke Odors in a Camper 1.
It is an excellent odor remover. If the Odor Kill solution is able to get to the smoke / organic molecules it will digest them and remove them from the base materials-carpets, wall, upholstery, etc.
It is not a masking agent, 2. Mix the concentrate in a clean spray bottle or garden sprayer -- it must be clean, suggest that you go to the local hardware store and secure one of each.
Heavily mist all surfaces. You want the solution to reach all smoke molecules.
If the Odor kill enzymes don't come in contact with the smoke molecules they cannot digest them.
3. Start with a 15 to 1 mixture that should do it.
Always mix it with water, it acts as a catalyst and activates the enzymes so that they "go on the attack".
Visit our web site for directions on smoke odors. We have some drawings about how to apply.
