Is this 100% smell-proof? I need something that will stop any laundry detergent/fabric softener smells from leaking through.

I would say yes. It is my 19 yr old sons bed, he has not mentioned anything about smells.

Hi Pat, I have no idea whats inside that bottle but it sure smells toxic, that's why I wrote what I thought to be humorous "Don't drink!"I will say this it does seem to work, I think my softener cycles a bit less often. And by the way I believe Norm is correct the Iron out will do the same thing, but as always I'm sure the people from ResCare would say their stuff is the best. Give it heck, Dennis

I use it for areas with a bad smell, laundry etc. Where is your odor coming from? If it/s from mildew, you also need to stop the dampness.

The fragrance is not overpowering. However, I have NOT noticed any difference in my laundry. I live in Florida and the water in my area is extremely hard. The laundry is still coming out with stains and greyish.

no not that am aware of... however if if they do you can wash it on hot and add 1 cup of vinegar to instead of detergent and when the washer is done with its cycle then restart the washer and run it on hot again except add 1/2 cup of baking soda (again instead of detergent) and when the cycle is complete dry it and it should smell better... And don't use liquid or powder fabric softener with these towels... or really any expensive towels

I've used Fabreeze and Zero Odor and I will always vote on Zero odor working better. There really isn't a scent that it leaves behind, it just knocks odors out. I've used it in trash cans and diaper pales for years. I've used it in litter boxes and other areas where my cats would lay down regularly. It really breaks down the odor molecules. I left you a long message on your other question about what to do about sour laundry/mildew odor. I've used this around the bottom of the toilets in my home after cleaning to eliminate urine odors. I have 2 boys and if you have boys, then you know the toilet needs constant attention. It eliminates the urine odor quickly. I've used it on the spinning brush under my vacuum cleaner and steam vac as well. I've used the 4oz, 8oz and 16oz over the years and I've been happy with this product. I wish Bed Bath and Beyond still sold it in my area, but I buy it on Amazon now.

No problems here! Wash on gentle in cool water and tumble dry on low. I even use the fabric softener/scent boost and haven't had any issues. Just unplug the the connector from the cover and you're good to go.

Mine were very absorbant after just one wash. What kind of detergent did you use? You don't use fabric softener in the dryer do you? I just use All Free & Clear and they worked great immediately.

I don't think that's a good idea. "Odors Away" is a HIGHLY CONCENTRATED room deodorizer. If you were to put it on clothing, I would suspect that the scent would be overpowering. ( Remember - A few drops will deodorize an entire room! ) To deodorize clothing, mix OxyClean and liquid laundry detergent into a thin paste, and spread it on the stain or odorous area of the clothing. Let it stay there for 5 minutes, then launder as usual.

I put defense in the fabric softener/bleach compartment of my washer and it seems to work fine. I do use a large more industrial type washer which is used by all the tenants in my building.

I had a disabled, incontinent cat. She had her own living area, covered with whelping mats, which I washed in "NoRoma Industrial Odor Eliminating Laundry Wash" (available on Amazon). It is expensive, but works wonderfully. I set the washer for the longest cycle possible (cold-water wash). You need to use the full amount suggested, even in a front-loading washer.

Era is what I use now and it's wonderful. Once a month I use Smelly Washer to freshen my HE machine and I use Era HE liquid detergent in all my wash. The sour odor is completely gone. The repairman who fixed my washer told me to never use liquid fabric softener and HE liquid detergents together as they gum up the works. He recommended using fabric softener sheets in my dryer instead. So if u plan on changing detergents, I think u will be happy with Era. If u can't find it in ur area, I think Amazon.com sells it.

any detergent you like and it's one teaspoon or one tablespoon. I have one but it started leaking and now doesn't spin. Was the best thing for me. Trying to find me another one.

I have never used the other kind of Nature's Miracle. But to take out those particular smells, I would use Just for Cats. I have used it on clothing and it didn't hurt the fabric at all (cotton fabric) and the smell was gone, but with fabrics, I always spray this on, let it sit for a couple of hours, then wash it in warm water with Tide. (Is it okay to say that? :) ) The smell has always come out. 'Hope this is helpful!

I have never used it to remove mildew or sour laundry before. It works so well on pet odors and freshens trash cans, that I can imagine it would help with mildew and sour laundry. If you're battling a HE washing machine odor, clean the door gasket creases using disinfecting wipes. Sometimes mildew will set in those creases causing an odor in the machine and causing clothing to smell as well. Clorox makes a Washing Machine Cleaner for HE washers. This will help clean the rest of the drum and interior workings that come in contact with water, debris and detergent. You can still spray this Zero Odor product in to freshen, but if there's mildew growing, you'll need to eliminate that problem. There's also a more environmentally friendly way of cleaning your machine, "Lemi Shine". It uses enzymes to eliminate odors and build up inside your dish washer, washing machine and disposal. I use it regularly in all 3 of my appliances and it works well. I also feel better using it because its environmentally friendly. Lemi Shine can be found at most grocery stores and its very inexpensive, about $4 or under. You get 3 packs of enzyme powder in each box. Hope this helps!

I have had it a long time and can't really remember a smell. I use it under my washer and it is keeping the washer from walking away. I am very happy with it.

I wouldn't call it a chemical smell. It has a slight newly manufactured scent similar to some fabrics in fabric stores. Like I said in my review, I washed it and hung it to dry. That took care of any smell it had at first. I must tell you that I have a very sensitive nose, and because of that, i do not use fabric softener. I find it too strong. So there was no detergent or fabric softener scent to "cover up" the mattress pad's smell after washing, and yet I did not detect a smell after it was dried.
