I have only used Zero Odor for litter box odor and room spray and it did the job. If the odor has penetrated the wood instead of just on top I can't say for sure, it might be worth a try though. You can always use it for other odors.

I really think it will. It's quite good at neutralizing smells. Although I think I read somewhere that a bowl of white vinegar will kill these smells as well. You might want to search this as an interim solution.

� it should help but I would scrub with bleach and repaint. Then use 0 odor to maintain.

Don't waste your money on this product. .Use baking soda or campfor flakes orballs in a plastic bag or open the box andlet the product absorb the odor. .Another good product is Odor Buster which is an aerosol product sold in oldtime hardware stores such as Wise Hardware in Pelham , New Yorl .

Obviously you will need to clean the cabinet to make sure that whatever leaked is gone. But I have found that Zero Odor takes care of the absolute worst smells beautifully!!

I'm not sure if this will work if something has soaked into the wood. You may want to try a solution of diluted vinegar and water and maybe put an opened box of baking soda in there for a bit. I've also heard that plain charcoal will help absorb odors.

This product is overrated .A much better product is Odor Busters which is an aerosol product. , sold inold time hardware stores such asWise Hardware in Pelham , New York. .Another old time odor remover (masker)Is baking soda or use camp for balls.

Nope. The smell was probably from the electronic components on the inside. Mine finally burned out & I replaced the power supply diodes. (I have an electronic background) For a less than industrial grade cleaner this little fellow has given me my money worth. Over a thousand cycles. However it is not sturdy enough to handle extended high time settings. The liquid should get hot, but I think this is the problem for the circuit board; Insufficient cooling on the inside to vent the heat away from the circuit board. I installed a micro pancake cooling fan & have had no further problems on any setting. If you have a friend that is electronic savy this is a simple & cheap modification. Hope this helps Nope.

Just purchased recently and smell is very bad, every time I open the jar. Mom cannot swallow the capsule, but have been hesitant to open and put on food because of the disgusting odor.

Yes. the smell went away rather quickly. I can't remember exactly how long it was, but it could not have been too long. I absolutely hate bad smells in my house, and I would definitely have noticed if the smell stuck around for too long. hth.

I had this stored in my office in the box for about 2 weeks til I put it together, & while not a gasoline smell, yes, there was definitely a very strong odor. It didn't smell like my grandma's cedar hope chest, more like strong, strong stain & wood odors. Once I unboxed it, the smell was pretty intense for another day or so, but by the time I finally got around to putting it together, which took all of like 20/25 minutes, the smell had pretty much dissipated.

It does have a smell to it but it's not overpowering. As for the kitchen I suppose just as long as your not spraying all your pots and pans and utensils with it. Use a small handheld spray bottle in the house. And make sure the area is well ventilated and fluffy is secured in another room so he isn't licking it up. Once it drys you wi be fine. But remember I said this stuff doesn't kill on contact. It works by attacking the bug/insect nervous system and respatory system and killing it over time. It does work but you have to give it a day to three days to see its effects. And prolong of this and you will reap the benefits. It does have a smell to it but it's not overpowering.

Our small food storage closet has a chemical smell med strong what do I do?

It is not airtight. On a hot summer day, the poop "cooks" inside the can. We have ours mounted in open air area. The only time we smell it is when we open the can when it has been very hot outside. Now that the fall is here, we don't notice any problem with odors.

Mine also smells like old cooking oil. I have purchased Now oils before with no problems but this one has a horrible smell.

I opened the doors and drawers of the armoire and put a fan blowing on it, in my garage for several days. The odor lessened and we put it in the house. I don't notice the odor anymore, but I don't know what caused the smell.

I'm sure you've dealt with this by now, but for others who might read this. I have two of these wonderful crocks. I noticed a lingering odor in one after fermenting pickles. I use nothing more than earth friendly dish soap and water for cleaning. Over time the odor disappeared on its own. I was unconcerned as I knew that I would only be using it for fermenting food.

Unfortunately, after great expectations, we didn't use long enough to determine best location in refrigerator. Device emitted a very strong, very undesirable odor almost immediately. Sorry I cannot be of more assistance.

Mine fills the kitchen with a noxious chemical stink. I washed it throughly, ran distilled vinegar through it for a cycle, and have used it for a week and it still reeks of chemicals. Not good!

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

Wow! No, mine does not at all.Maybe try soaking it in a sink with some water and citrus hand soap or dish soap. Hopefully whatever is giving off the odor is just on the surface.
