I want this item to remove very strong air freshener and incense from my 700 sq.ft house. Will it? Does it leave a perfume of its own? I am desperate!

The IQ Air Multi Gas does not emit any odor. However, it also has not been effective at removing perfumes,or paint fumes in my apartment. I have tried to use it on numerous substances that have bothered me and it has been useless. I have one IQ Multi Gas in my bedroom and one in my living room which is at the other end of my apartment. My apartment is about 900 square feet.It is effective at removing dust, pet hair etc.To be honest the air purifier has been a real disappointment.

It should act odorlessly. It is a filter. As to whether it will remove air freshener odor and incense odor. You need to not use those products anymore. If you no longer use the air freshener and the incense this has a chance of removing the odor. I have burned food on occasion and this will remove the smell after running it on high speed. Of course if I burn a meal again the burnt smell will come back. Also if you change or wash your curtains it may help.

As you can see from my review, I think this air cleaner is terrific. It cleaned my mother's apartment of wildfire smoke and when she burned some coffee in the microwave, it got rid of 95% of that odor, too - and that was pretty bad. Her apartment is fairly small, though - but she does only run it on the 2nd setting (out of 6 if I remember correctly). I think you should call IQAir and ask them. They were very helpful when I asked them whether they thought one of their air cleaners could handle my mother's situation and recommended a specific model. The unit we bought leaves absolutely no perfumey smell or any other kind of smell. They've added a post filter to address that previous complaint.

I'd suggest calling them. As the owner of two of these, my guess would be that if the odors are just in the air, then, yes, If the smells have been absorbed by carpets, furniture and so on, probably not. I find these units do give the air a bit of a smell but it's mild and certainly not perfume.

My Box it came in didn't address the subject. However I just gave it the sniff test and didn't get a perfume odor. Hope this helps you.

I do use an air freshener in my humidifier, but it is water based. I would guess that an oil would have to be stay heated in order to give off a fragrance.

I don't know--that seems like more than it could do. I used it in a medium size closet to remove smells of moth balls and fabric conditioners on second-hand clothing and bedding and that took a while with the door closed. Out in an open room with a stronger smell might take more...

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!

Scented? Unscented? The best way to determine that answer is to look at the ingredients list to determine if "FRAGRANCE" has been added. If you don't know what some of the ingredients are, look them up in a dictionary or on line. All substances have an odor or scent that I can detect, so I would find some "scents" strong that other could barely detect. Even the white packaged wipes have a distinct odor to me, so I have started making my own. Good luck!

Absolutely false. The fragrance was strong enough that I could not use it due to my allergies.

Yes, it does have a strong fragrance at first (kind of like lemon pledge), but it calms down after about a day- another option is that you can dilute it with some water or vinegar to makes it less strong. The scent for me is very clean and good smelling and doesn't bother me.

Yes and no. I have it near our litter box and it has cut down the smell definitely, but any overwhelming smell like candles or incense will still linger for a while.

we have it on the main floor of our house, about 1200 sq feet with kitchen, living room and bathroom and it does amazingly well removing odors and keeping the air fresh throughout the whole space. We also have a smallish guest bedroom/office on that floor and I generally keep it closed to save on heat but Boy can I tell the difference in the air quality in there! If you open the door to that room it downright stinks compared to the rest of the house. I highly recommend this product for large living areas, and want to purchase one for our lower level as well. I used to do constant battle with sinus infections but haven't had one since getting the germ-guardian!

It has a very strong scent. I hate air fresheners and was very concerned it was going to be awful when I opened the product. But its pleasant and wears off fairly quickly once its dried.

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!

I use mine primarily in the bathroom and it definitely takes care of those odors without leaving any scent behind, so I think it should take care of perfume smells.

after doing some researching, I cannot find what the square footage usage would be. We use in a fairly large bedroom and aroma is very strong (we put it on the highest setting). I think that it would do well in a average sized living room. In my opinion, it's the strongest of my diffusers (I have spa vapor, doTerra AromaLite, & ZaqAllay). Sorry I couldn't find a specific square footage for you (it's not even mentioned in their owner manual).

To answer your question, it does not have any trace of perfume or flowery scent. It has a clean, soft scent - definitely the scent of a polish or cleaner. The scent does not linger nor is it strong in any way. Once the surface is buffed up with a puff of paper towel, the scent is gone. I have used it for many years and it is the best cleaner and polish for any hard surface such as Corian, Granite, Marble, etc. Do not over use, it only takes a little to do the job and it protects the surface.

I received mine as a gift just yesterday. Very strong smell like I had just painted the entire bedroom. This was after the mattress had sat for 2 days to expand in another room in the house. I am hoping that someone can seriously tell me this odor goes away.
