Will this work on removing odors from a room containing items from a decomposed body. Also, are there any filters that would need to be changed?

I can't say that I've ever tried it on an application such as that, but I believe it will work. I am unaware of any filters that would need to be changed. I highly recommend this product.

Yes it will please read my review I posted today. The one thing that must be done is remove anything that has biological waste on it the smell will remain on it no matter what. For example if you have a sub floor and a person died on the floor that floor has to go and maybe the joists or encapsulate the joists. Anything that can not removed like a concrete floor has to be encapsulated. But the odor does in fact permeates anything and everything nothing in a house is safe from that odor no matter how far away from the body even the attic, but this machine works, even for that. I know first hand. Yes it will please read my review I posted today. The one thing that must be done is remove anything that has biological waste on it the smell will remain on it no matter what.

Well if the body is still there probably not. But I haven't found an Oder it won't get rid of. No filters it's ultraviolet. The ozone it emits has a smell to it not bad but it lingers for a week or so.

I've never used it for that purpose. It has a charcoal filter which sits on top of the HEPA filter. It does remove odors fairly well and I've set it up in the kitchen when I've burned something to remove the odor. It did a good job of that in my opinion. Cigarette smoke is different in some ways but I think this would probably help. With cigarette smoke you have tars and other substances which cling to furnishings and surfaces which would have to be cleaned in addition to filtering the air.

I personally used it only for chemical smells and perfumes. If it were me I wouldn't rely on this purifier for viruses. I bought Austin Air purifier for the bedroom which works wonders for chemicals, viruses, pollen etc. I believe keeping immune system strong will keep viruses and germs at bay.

I believe it will. We used it for extremely strong garlic smell and it whipped it out of the air. I like it because it also has an ionizer that you can turn on and off and that really helps with the scent. I love this air purifier. Its worth every penny!

No, I don't believe. We were trying to remove old odors and were not successful with this product.

I personally have not used it in an indoor situation but a friend of ours used it to remove a smoke smell from and jacket and he said it worked. Hope this helps.

It has two filters and they are effective to trap pet hair, dirt in the first filter and minute particles in the inner filter...please refer to website for details of the filters..I used 1 air purifier for about 150 sq ft...I think you might need 2 purifiers for your space...please check with Oreck...I love these purifiers...made my house air smell fresh and cool like mountain air...

I would think that it would. It eliminate any kind of odor, mine was eliminating the odor from my basement after the flood last year.

No, in order for any air purifier to reduce odors it has to have a charcoal filter which this one does not have. You can buy an inexpensive charcoal filter at Home Depot or Lowes and cut it down to size. This air purifier has been a life saver, trust me I've tried them all

No, it won't. Maybe if you are using ALOT of them it could have an effect. the only real thing this moso bag does is absorb mold. If your trying to remove oder, don't waste your money. it won't work. I swear by these bags for mold control so am pretty familiar with them

This comes with charcoal inserts that help eliminate pet odors. You have to replace the charcoal filters every so often so keep that in mind for operating costs. It handles a normal bedroom sized room.

I can't say if this machine works on odors, but I know something that does. It's called 1-2-3 Odor Free from justrite.com. It's the only thing I've found that really works. It helps with the stain and the odor both.

I have not tried it in my basement but basically what it does is eliminate odors that are present. It works so well without any lingering smell I would at least give it a try. I have used it in the house for a long time.

Truthfully, I don't know. I suppose it would depend on how strong the smell is. We live in an old house, with a coat closet located in a combination laundry room/bathroom, so I need something to eliminate and prevent a musty odor in the closet. This deodorizer works very well for that purpose.

I don't have it in my kitchen, but I think you have to look for one that specifically says it eliminates odors. I don't believe this one does.

I have never tried 303 for that purpose. As well as it cleans I would suspect that odor, as well as appearance, would improve with removal of the vile susbtances.

I would have to say yes...I've heard crime scene clean up crews use this same technology. It took cat litter smell out of my home.
