Can this light be used to treat clothing (sports clothing) to get rid of odors?

I can say yes the u.v. radiation will kill a great part of the bacteria that can cause odors, but some odors may remain that are in the fabric of the shoe; maybe water and a little Clorox or baking soda might help.

I do not think so, the smell seems to dissappear fast. It is an OK product for indoors but i am not sure about the effect it would have outside if any.

According to the instructions, it could be used to clothes. I used the diluted solution to soak the clothes before washing.

I think it is worth a try - it will not effect the fabric. You may have to follow up with an oder remover, like Fabreze for cars, but this product does get rid of the odors associated with the stain.

Yes! Originally, I was very skeptical of the claims...bought it anyway. Amazingly, it did removed all odors. I had to use it a number of times to remove ALL traces of smell, but it DID work (on young boy stink!) We do have to keep up the "treatments" about every week. I did wonder when I bought it if it would break...I'm either lucky or it is truly durable. I'm not sure where I'll get bulbs when they die, but so far, so good.

It may for very mild odors, but not at all for moderate or strong odors. I tested on a top that I had worn without deodorant and had some underarm odor and it did not take out or even reduce the odor (and I REALLY steamed it). Infact it seemed to take out the fragrance from my soap/lotion that was previously mixed in with the sweat so that I could smell the sweat even more distinctly after steaming! To test how it works on strong odors, I tried on a worn sock (not that anyone would ever want to steam out a sock, but..) and again, it did not remove the odor and I also didn't notice any reduction in the odor. The sock in particular was not a fun experiment, but now you know. It may for very mild odors, but not at all for moderate or strong odors.

It has worked for me on some microfiber clothing. I even use this as a stain remover for certain types of stains.

It has a very light scent but it doesn't linger on the clothes. It works by taking the odors out not by covering them up.

No. This light is too small to effectively purify the air. It is better suited as a low density night light.

i would give it a try if it didnt work i cant imagine what would work try it for a few days and then recharge it in the sun if possible it worked on dead critter smell but i would think it may take longer w a tv

Sure this can be used for sorting dirty clothes. You can maybe use it to coordinate lights, darks etc. Thank you

I'm not sure. I wouldn't use it on my clothes because it has a really bad odor when you spray it and it might stay on your clothes. Again, I've never used it on any fabric. But, I bought Febreze Fabric Refresher. This eliminates odors on all kinds of fabric. I've been happy with it's results. You can read the details about it on Amazon.

I suspect that it would work on any odor, however be sure to check the ingredients for any conflicts with the material you are applying it to.

I really couldn't say because it might stain and is designed to remove odors from the air, not fabric. Why not try one of the many Fabreze products that are specifically made for fabrics? They work for me with dog smells on furniture fabrics and don't stain.

Haven't tried it in shoes, but it wouldn't hurt trying. This stuff is great, so it should do some good, but I can't say it will remove all odor. I usually throw my shows out once they get to that point.

No, I don't think it would work for that. Perhaps you could strategically place a few open boxes of baking soda? I think you'd also first need to remedy the underlying cause of the odor.

No. It is strictly an odor remover for the air....and it works great!!! Try Fabreeze for fabrics. It actually works too!
