Arm & Hammer Carpet and Room Allergen Reducer and Odor Eliminator, 42.6 oz Box

I receive the box opened and most of the powder out in the shipping box ,not allowed to be refunded or returned!!!!

We purchased our house with red carpet in the basement. Disaster right? Well, we had moisture problems, mice, roaches insects and snakes visit here in the forest of Kemp Mill, Md- home of cheapism for many. Anywho, the carpet always smells. Sure, if i Rug Doctor it, the smell goes away for a few weeks but ultimatelty returns with vengange. I decided to use this instead of straight baking soda which could cause mechanical issues with most vacuum cleaners. The Sodium Bicarbonate in this product is more like sand and not powder. When sprinkling it on the red carpet (Berber-type) the grains find their way to the stinkers within. I let the product sit for 30minutes to an hour for problem areas then SLOWLY vacuum the area numerous times. I will update to see how long before the funk comes back. So far im pleased. The next day our basement smelled like a clean HEPA filter scent. The smell at first may be too strong but after the vacuum process and a few hours its a 180 improvment for sure. I even got down to sniff the carpet-- nothing- no more stink! BTW....Please dont ever install carpet in a basement especially RED...Good Grief

I’m a little mixed on this. I have allergies. I purchased it because there is a cat in the home. It does get rid of the odor but is quite perfume. You have to use a good vacuum to suck the powder up. I wouldn’t recommend anything lightweight. It won’t do the job. Then your left with powder n grime in your carpet and that doesn’t help for allergies.

You can always count on arm and hammer, good value, smell great, last long, and the size was awesome

Allergens and bad smells will run away... but so will you. The scent is so powerful, potent and extreme that it is probably more suited to neutralize the stenches related to carcasses, mass graves, dogs diarrhea, entire city sewers and of course the homeless. On my carpets, the fragrance alone has probably obliterated all possible allergens by the way of suffocation. Unfortunately, it also suffocated me. I am unable to get inside my bedroom, and it has been a day and a half. Vacuuming it over and over doesn't help and airing it doesn't either. Did I use too much ? I don't know - the instructions are not exactly clear on how much to use. I used about half the container on a large 1 bedroom apartment. I used a very good HEPA filtered vacuum cleaner to vacuum the product. The scent actually does smell good. Smells like something fresh. The issue I am referring to is the potency of it which has caused me headaches and problems sleeping. How long before the strong smell goes away ? That remains to be seen... so far it has been a day and a half. One thing is clear though... if you have a carcass in your bedroom or closet, this will fix it for sure.

Very purfumed. Wish it was more soda smelling or baby powdery. The floral is too much. A little goes along way and can clog your vacuum if you aren’t careful.
