STAR BRITEMildew Odor Control - Fast Release System - Ideal for Boat, RV, Auto & Cabins Coming Out of Storage - Permanently Remove Odor in 4-6 Hours (89970)

I used this on my 1991 36’ Carver boat. Since the boat was purchased in 2006, I have combatted multiple malodors, ranging from mildew to hints of sewer. It has always been a struggle, with my latest best success being the use of tea tree oil. The tea tree oil worked very well so long as a healthy quantity was on hand, and air was kept circulating. As the oil was used up, the odors would return, and even fabric items left for only a day on the boat would have a mildew funk. While exploring other options, I stumbled across Star Brite Mildew Odor Control. I ordered 2 packs and used both on my boat. I went back to the boat today and to my happy surprise, there are now zero offensive odors remaining. I think for the first time ever I got on the boat and it simply smelled like fresh air. Since this worked so well, I decided to try other Star Brite mildew products, such as their mildew stain remover. Again to my happy surprise, that product instantly cleaned hull liner fabric so it looks like new. No more dark areas from mildew that lingers at the base of the fibers in this fuzzy fabric. If you have an older boat, you have mildew. If you have mildew, get these 2 Star Brite products, and make your boat a breath of fresh air and sparkling clean too.

I bought a used car from a dealership. They gave me a great price because the car smelled like cigars smoke. I took it to a professional detailing center they just masked the smell. I use odor eliminator bombs and smoke sprays but the cigar smell would never really leave. I shampooed the car numerous times and the car still had that cigar undertone. No matter what I did I could not get rid of the smell, it was so bad that it was making me nauseous. After a little research I found my savior, Star brite chlorine dioxide gas. For it to work for me I had to use two treatments. The first time I followed the instructions and left it in the car for 6 hours. I still smelled the cigar very lightly. The second treatment I let it stay in the car for 12 hours. The cigar smell is 100% gone.P.S. make sure you change your car filter, shampoo and clean your car before using. Also chlorine dioxide gas does not work in the Sun.

This product eliminate the odor, however it was not an overnight process. Each day the smell became fainter, fhe area directly treated is now odor free. The surrounding areas have just the slightest whiff of odor.the product did the job, just not as seedily as we expected. Very good product. If needed I would buy this product again.

Followed the instructions. They are not that hard and a monkey could follow these instructions.Treated my car overnight on a hot summer night (last night), and in the morning the smell was still there. No chlorine smell at all. Also, I noticed there was still product in the white pouch. Even though I saturated the sponge, and the white pouch was damp, there were still crystals in the white pouch.Either I got a defective product, or something isn't right.

This product has been a real allergy-saver. It is an unusual product for many of us, so I'll provide some information here to help you understand what it is and how it can be used.This product is a granular product that emits chlorine dioxide (CD) upon exposure to air. CD has a lot of formulations and applications. This version is a slow release version, which means the granules emit CD over a period of days to weeks. Rapid-release formuations might only emit CD gas for a few hours. You can turn a slow-release into a fast-release by sitting the packet on a damp-dried sponge.CD also is available in tablets for water disinfection, and liquid formulations that have activators to emit CD over a period of hours to weeks. There is even a CD mouthwash available (CloSys). The product is quite safe when used as directed. Sellers try to make the product mysterious so you will commit to their overpriced products and systems. I've noticed few details are easy to find.With this particular product and formulation, I've used it in the following ways: (a) I put the packet in a plastic storage box full of musty but important paperwork, shut the lid and let it sit for 3 days. Mold smell is gone. (b) Put the packet in my car, shut the door overnight, ran the a/c for 5 minutes while idling in morning, aired the car out. I did this for 2 nights and it took away the funk mine and many cars' a/c systems have. This doesn't cover up odors; it kills mold and bacteria and oxidizes remaining odors. It works similarly to ozone but is more powerful.CD products have been used by libraries to stop the mildewing of books - they hung the packets around the storage stacks. You can put one or 2 of these in a closet to get rid of musty odors. You need to keep the packets away from fabric and surfaces (use the included protective box), so as not to bleach them. You also need to air out the space you use this product before breathing in too many fumes - don't leave the packet in the closet for days or weeks at a time. A breath or 2 or 3 at these low concentrations won't hurt you, but don't spend extended periods of time around it.
