Has anyone tried spraying this on whole house filters to eliminate oders?

FYI--Watch this stuff if you have cats. Pine, citrus AND cedar are all toxic to them!

Interesting idea. Best asked of manufacturer. It would seem to me not to be as effective as spraying since (as I understand it) the benefit is in letting the dropplets neutralyze the airborne particles. On the other hand, I think I read where you can freshen bed linens and carpets. Would be interesting to test your theory on an inexpensive filter first. Please post any results you get and I will do the same.

No, but I only used it one season and then never bothered with it again. Next year's tag sale item! I thought it was too big, and the filter never really seemed to need cleaning. I bought it to remove particulate matter - smoke - that might get into the house from using the fireplace in the winter, but I don't think it's really made for that.

Not really. To fight odor you may want to consider something that uses a charcoal pre-filter, or uses ionic technology.

This worked well. I use Hartz Nodor litter spray for floors and carpets I just soak it put dry towel on top. No smell left.

It works for me. It is like neutralize the smell and make a no smell environment. It does not remove the odor right away.

Not yet. I've only sprayed and wiped ours down. Sorry I can't be more help.

actually I haven't. I don't smoke and have no pets. Seems that all my filters, walls, and window treatments don't get 'dirty' quickly. If I do need to clean it, I'd check the owner's manual, and if that didn't tell me I'd figure out how to take the guard off and use a Swifter type dusting material.

Ther are probably different options, but I've not found them. Even at $90, getting the full set of filters is only a quarter a day. I just replaced mine after about a year, and the unit is working a lot more efficiently. I did find that if you run a hand vac over the odor sensor, it works better too.

I have used it on the concrete subflooring of the bottom floor of my house as well as the concrete flooring in the garage. I have been totally impressed at how well the odor is removed. Takes a few applications, but has worked well for me on many occasions.

I have had no problem, but I imagine if you use a solution of 1 part bleach to 10 parts water to gently scrub it off, it should work

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.

yes, you have a choice of using the washable foam prefilter, OR a disposable carbon prefilter that also filters out odors. the main filter is permanent and washable.

I have not had this problem but I have not found anything that Fabreeze Laundry Odor Eliminator has not worked on. I hope you give it a try.

Yes, I've used this product in musty areas and it is effective. I've been home and have used this product around my kids and pets with no detrimental results. I recommend changing the filter often...every 3 months. One draw back I have found is the bare wiring inside the unit will eventually rust, and the fan needs cleaned and lubricated from time to time to keep it running in top shape.

Yes. Use a solution if vinegar and water. It helps get the smell if rubber out and it cleans it nicely. I use a spray bottle and a towel.

I agree with Richard W. We have been using it for about a year now and it just makes the house smell clean. I'm allergic to molds and this has helped immensely! You still need a good filter but this removes the "living" stuff.

sorry. I have not tried that. I actually cleaned the sidewalk and then sprayed it separately with a 50/50 water/bleach solution. The attachment worked really well, though. It tremendously lessened the time it took me to clean the sidewalk!
