"Our stairs smelled really bad because of previous tenants. We shampooed the carpet and it made it worse. We used the whole bag on the stairs as it instructs to apply it generously. The scent was so strong it gave us slight headaches as it sat there for an hour (as the instructions recommend), but the powder nearly removed all of the bad smell once we vacuumed it up. The strong scent dissipated quickly too so that was nice.

I say this did the job well."

"I wanted to love this carpet deodorizer because of the essential oils and lack of toxic fragrance. The smell is amazing! Unfortunately it is too moist to sprinkle from the canister. It is packaged in a spice canister with a lid (one side with holes for sprinkling and the other for spooning) which in my case, will not close. It was securely wrapped in plastic for shipping, but once opened, the lid will not snap into place. Trying to sprinkle it from the canister is impossible; trying to sprinkle from the open side of the lid results in dumping large clumps of the product. I am not yet sure how it will affect the vacuum cleaner; hoping it doesn’t clog. Not sure if there is a way to improve on this formula to make it easier to sprinkle. If so, I would buy again."

"I love the scent of this carpet powder, and it does help erase musty odors. I wish the lid was nicer, and would actually snap shut. It doesn't!! Using plastic wrap with rubber band."
