Does it eliminate odors

The description of the lamp says one 5x5x6 lamp cleans the air in a 90 square foot room. Most rooms are larger. So, does every one use this rule? Do you have 2 in a 12 x 14 room? Just wondering? This would make a huge difference in reducing odors.

Yes. I have 2 lamps for my one bedroom 500 sq ft apartment. The previous tenant had a dog and I'm pretty sure they went to the bathroom in the kitchen. There has always been a faint smell whenever I walk in. I used air fresheners and they only mask the smell, I travel often and whenever I come home I can still smell it. Now that I have my salt lamps my apartment seems fresher.

Himalayan Salt Lamps are may be attractive but there is no scientific proof that they "release negative ions" into the air nor does this clean or purify the air. They are solely aesthetic and claims to the contrary constitute old wives tales.

Mine did the opposite, it actually had an odor of it's own like REALLY REALLY REALLY bad body odor. Cleaning it as per the instructions did nothing to help, but leaving it on for a week seems to have eliminated the odor it was spreading throughout the house :S

I have 3 of these lamps and they create the most soothing atmosphere...it is amazing! However, all the other claims about air purification or odor elimination I have never noticed. If you need something primarily to address odors....I think you would be better served getting something else. If you want a beautiful lamp...this is a great choice!

My response seems contradictory here. My husband says I can smell a flea fart in the next county. I put 2 of these in our media room, AKA land of kitty "annointments" and it did do wonders for the smell. Now, to be fair, I DID clean (of course!) but there was a lingering, shall we say, aroma. I leave my lamps on essentially 24/7 and they have never ever disappointed.

I don't notice a change in odors but I also don't have the best sence of smell.

I recently moved mine from one side of the room to another, into a corner of my living room that seems to harbor cigarette smoke. I did not do this intentionally, I was actually trying to Feng Shui my apartment and needed an earth element there, so I was absolutely shocked when it made such a drastic difference! I smoke in the dining side of my dining/living room combo and watch tv from the aforementioned corner. It DEFINITELY has an impact on the air quality there! I'm on this page because I'm thinking of getting another for my bedroom so I can breathe cleaner air as I sleep.

Yes it will-Haven't found an odor yet that it doesn't get rid of. I swear by it.

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 love this product. It removes all odors from the air. I have it running 24 hrs a day. It has 3 speeds and is very quiet. It has improved my breathing so much. I highly recommend it.

It provides a bacteria to brak down the human excrement that you flush into your septic tank. I cannot say that it removes oders but as the excrement is digested by the bacteria, it stands to reason that there would be less oder. I have not had an oder problem.

No, but if you use vinegar, that will get rid of all the pheromones. I personally was not pleased with this product. I really like the OUT! It gets rid of odors and smells nice. It doesn't take nearly as much either. Use vinegar to completely get rid of the odor.

In my opinion, it does eliminate all pungent and strong odors in closed out and small spaces. The odor from the scented candles will be progressively reduced until you have only clear and healthy air. In my case, it has a fast reaction against unwanted odors and a slowly diminishing effect on other scents. I guess after a while you wouldn't need to use candles to eliminate unpleasant smells as this is really powerful. The only need for candles would be for decoration. Hope this helps!

Yes it does reduce odors from other rooms here that drift into my room, such as cologne, plug-in air fresheners, aerosol air fresheners, kitchen odors. Even using the washable pre-filter instead of the charcoal one works, I believe the ionization helps to filter out odors.

No. It just works. And it does. I bought a car where the previous owner was a smoker and it worked great clearing out the lingering odor.

I purchased it for a room where I have two litter boxes for my two cats and it has not made a significant difference. I clean the litter boxes twice daily, I sweep any trail of litter from floor at the same time. I would say it reduced the smell by 15 to 20%.

There are some instructions on the label for the use of XO Plus. I use it for many things in our house, and it works very well. This is a concentrate so you do not have to use a large quantity to eliminate odors.

No... it's design to break down the cellular walls and destroy the DNA of weaker bacteria, viruses, mold and other micro organisms. The odor reducing is from it killing off the bacteria. so it won't "poop" and leave it stink everywhere. You know why your mouth stinks in the morning or why your under arms smell after working out? Yup, that's from bacteria "poop".

The old IQ Air GC MultiGas does not remove odors. I can't speak to the newer model, but I suspect its no better.

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.
