Cigarette Odor: If you smoke in your auto, truck or tractor, but don't want the smoke odor to be noticeable when you get back in your vehicle the next day, just use Odor-Z-Way. First clean out all of the ash trays and cigarette butts. Next, take one can of Odor-Z-Way and sprinkle throughout the floors and seats of the car or cab. Leave the Odor-Z-Way on the floors and seats for 12 to 24 hours. If the odor continues to persist, leave the Odor-Z-Way on for two days. Vacuum up the product once this time frame has elapsed. Once you have your vehicle cleaned up, fill your ashtrays half full to full. When you put out your cigarettes in your ash trays, you will find that the Odor-Z-Way will absorb the odors from your cigarettes. Along with absorbing the odors when you put your cigarettes out, this product will also continue absorbing the odors out of the air. This will neutralize the cigarette smell on a daily basis. Change out ash trays every 2 to 4 days and refill them with Odor-Z-Way.
Manure Odor: When working on the farm you may encounter a variety of odors that are unpleasant, especially if you are working around farm animals and manure. You can easily step somewhere that you did not notice and track manure into your tractor cab/vehicles. If this happens, you can use Odor-Z-Way to get the odor out. First, clean out the majority of the mess. Next, sprinkle 1/2 a can to a full can of Odor-Z-Waythroughout the affected area. Make sure all of your windows and doors are closed up and leave the product on the affected area for 12 to 24 hours. If the odor is extremely bad then you might want to use 2 to 3 cans of Odor-Z-Way to remove the manure odor. Just vacuum the affected area up and the odor is gone.
You will also be able to pull any stain that is left behind from the mess. If the manure is dried, you will have to dampen down the affected area (DO NOT SATURATE). Next, add Odor-Z-Way until the affected area is completely covered. Once you add the Odor-Z-Way, take a brush, your hand, your foot, something to rub the product in so that the Odor-Z-Way comes into contact deep into the affected area. Let the area sit for 12 to 24 hours or until dried and then vacuum up. If there is still some of the stain left behind repeat these steps. If the mess is fresh, just clean up the majority of the affected area and add the Odor-Z-Way. You do not have to dampen with a fresh mess because it already holds moisture. Follow the steps as directed before.
Also, if you get some manure on you clothing before you have a meeting or before going out to dinner, you can take the Odor-Z-Way and rub it on your clothing. Within minutes you will be able to pull the odor completely out. Shake off any excess Odor-Z-Way and have clean smelling clothing once again.
Musty Smells: Many times a vehicle may acquire a musty smell in its cab. This may be due to water getting into the vehicle. To get rid of this musty smell, sprinkle one to two cans of Odor-Z-Way throughout the inside of your car or cab. If the odor is really bad you may have to sprinkle more around the inside of your cab. Make sure all of the windows are closed and all of the doors are shut tightly. Leave the product sit in your cab for 12 to 24 hours. After this period of time, check your cab to see if the odor is still present. If the odor is gone, vacuum the product out of your cab. Sometimes an odor may be very strong and you will have to allow the product to sit a little longer. Also, there might be times when the air is very dry. If this is the case, you want to mist some water throughout the cab of your vehicle to help activate the product in these dry conditions.
Oil Messes: For one that likes to have clean shop floors, drive ways, etc. Odor-Z-Way is the product for you. If you have an old oil stain on your concrete floor, take a brush with some solvent and add a thin layer of solvent to the oil stain. The solvent loosens up the oil so that the Odor-Z-Way can absorb the oil. Once you have applied a thin layer of solvent, add Odor-Z-Way on top of the solvent. You want to put enough Odor-Z-Way on, so that the solvent and oil stain are completely covered. Take your foot and rub the Odor-Z-Way into the affected area. After a few minutes you can take a broom and sweep the treated area. You will see a brand new clean floor once you are done.
Note: If you have an oil stain that has been in a particular area for quite a while, the oil will soak into the cement. With Odor-Z-Way you can pull the oil off of the top of the cement until the temperature changes, and the concrete starts to sweat. Oil that was soaked into the cement bleeds up to the top of the cement and your stain will re-appear. Just follow the above directions over, and eventually, you will pull all of the oil out of the cement.
Odor-Z-Way also acts as a floor dry. If you change oil in your truck, tractor, or vehicle and you spill oil on the ground, you can take the Odor-Z-Way and cover the oil spill. Just leave the product sit on the oil overnight. This will help stop oil from soaking into the cement. When you see the Odor-Z-Way start changing colors to a brown/black color, you want to add a little more Odor-Z-Way to keep absorbing the oil. The reason for this, is when you see the color change in the Odor-Z-Way, this is a good indicator that the brown/black particles are exhausted and cannot hold anymore oil. After one day just sweep up the affected area and dispose of the product in the trash can.
Body Odors: After a period of time without cleaning a car out, you may acquire a body odor in your vehicle. If this is the case you can use Odor-Z-Way to remove this odor. If the odor is really bad, you will want to take one to two cans of Odor-Z-Way and sprinkle throughout your entire vehicle; on the seats, floors, etc. Make sure all of your windows are rolled up and the car doors are all closed. Leave the Odor-Z-Way sit for a couple of hours or overnight if you would like. Now come in and vacuum out your vehicle. The smell is now completely gone. To help keep the odor knocked down so it does not get so bad the next time, add Odor-Z-Way into your ash tray or your cup holder. Stir the product every couple of days, so that the product on the bottom of the container can come up to the surface to have a chance to absorb. Replace this every one to two weeks.
Petroleum Odors: When fueling your vehicle you might spill some gas/diesel on yourself, possibly grab onto a pump with the gas/diesel left on the pump, or maybe you had to fix a gas line while you were away from your shop, whatever the circumstance is, you can now use Odor-Z-Way to remove the annoying petroleum odors that you may acquire. Wherever the odor is, just take the Odor-Z-Way and rub it into the affected area. For instance, if the petroleum odor is on your hands, add some Odor-Z-Way into your hand and rub both of your hands together like you are washing them. Brush off your hands and you now have clean smelling hands. You can do the same thing with clothing also. Just sprinkle the Odor-Z-Way over the area where the petroleum odor is noticeable and rub the Odor-Z-Way into your clothing. After a few seconds the odor is gone.
If you are hauling petroleum products, such as gasoline, and you store all of your fuel fittings in a sealed storage compartment, the petroleum odor can sometimes become very overwhelming, especially if your storage compartment is below your sleeper. To remove these odors, it is best to place a secure bowl or dish of some sort in the storage compartment and fill the bowl with the Odor-Z-Way. Fill a normal size bowl half full to full. Stir the bowl every two days so the Odor-Z-Way can be fully utilized. Change the product out every 7-10 days or once the odor starts coming back. Throw the old product away in the trash can.
Grease Spots: Many times while out working, grease spots are tracked into the cab of your vehicle, in your office, etc. These are very hard to get rid of easily but not with Odor-Z-Way. Take the Odor-Z-Way and sprinkle some of the product over the grease spots. Now take a brush, your foot, your hand, something to rub the Odor-Z-Way into the grease. Within minutes you will see the grease disappear. Just vacuum out of the carpet and the grease spots are gone.
Food Odors: There are many times that people eat while they are driving, don't finish their meal, and throw the bag of McDonald's in the back seat and leave it back there. After a day of being in the sun, the cab of your vehicle begins to stink. For a food odor you want to remove the source of the smell by removing the old bag of food. Next, take roughly 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup of Odor-Z-Way and sprinkle it in the area where the food was. Roll all of your windows up and make sure your doors are shut tightly. Leave the Odor-Z-Way sit for 24 hours. Depending on how bad the odor is you might want to add a little more Odor-Z-Way than what is recommended and leave the product sit for 48 hours. Once this time has elapsed and the odor is gone, vacuum up the area where you sprinkled the Odor-Z-Way.
Food Stains: Sometimes you might be eating while you are on the go and spill ketchup, mayo, etc. on the floor of your cab. If this happens and the mess is still fresh wipe up the majority of the mess with a rag first. Next, take the Odor-Z-Way and cover the affected area generously until you can no longer see any of the stain. Once the Odor-Z-Way is applied take your foot, a brush, your hand, anything to rub the product into the affected area. This will ensure that the product comes in contact with the entire affected area. Leave the product sit for twelve hours and vacuum up. If the stain is still there, then dampen the area down with water (DO NOT SATURATE), and repeat these steps again until the stain is gone.
The same directions apply to dry stains as they do for fresh, except that, you must dampen the stain first if it is dry. You do not want to saturate the stain with water though, because the Odor-Z-Way will just absorb the water and not do anything for your stain. Once you have dampened the area, apply the Odor-Z-Wayand rub the product into the stain. Make sure you use enough Odor-Z-Way so that the stain is covered completely. Let the product sit for 12 to 24 hours (or until dry) and vacuum the affected area. If there is still a stain present then repeat these steps.
Cement Stains: For one that likes to have clean shop floors, drive ways, etc. Odor-Z-Way is the product for you. If you have an old oil stain, carpenter's wood stain, etc. on your concrete floor, take a brush with some solvent and add a thin layer of solvent to the stain. The solvent loosens up the oil based stain so that the Odor-Z-Way can absorb the stain. Once you have applied a thin layer of solvent, add Odor-Z-Way on top of the solvent. You want to put enough Odor-Z-Way on, so that the solvent and stain are completely covered. Take your foot and rub the Odor-Z-Way into the affected area. After a few minutes you can take a broom and sweep the treated area. You will see a brand new clean floor once you are done.
Note: If you have a stain that has been in a particular area for quite a while, the stain will probably soak into the cement. With Odor-Z-Way you can pull the stain off of the top of the cement until the temperature changes, and the concrete starts to sweat. The stain that was soaked into the cement bleeds up to the top of the cement and your stain will re-appear. Just follow the above directions over, and eventually, you will pull all of the stain out of the cement.
Spilled Drinks: Many people eat and drink in their vehicle when they are driving. With drinking in one's vehicle there is bound to be an accidental spill. If this happens, just take Odor-Z-Way and sprinkle it onto the effected area. Allow the area to completely dry and then vacuum up the spot. If there is still a stain present, slightly dampen the area but do not douse. Too much water will disable the Odor-Z-Way. Now cover the affected area once again with the Odor-Z-Way. Rub the product into the affected area, so the product is worked deep into the stain. Leave Odor-Z-Way on the spot until the area has dried. Now go in, vacuum the stained area and the stain will be gone.
For spilled drinks that have already dried before you have the chance to apply Odor-Z-Way, slightly dampen the affected area. Once the stain has been dampened, cover the stain with the Odor-Z-Way. Rub in the product so it can come in contact deep into the stain. Allow the area to dry and then vacuum it. If the stain happens to still be present, then repeat this process again and the stain will then be removed. Along with removing the stain the Odor-Z-Way will also absorb the odors that may have become present from the spilled drink.
Smoke Damage: Smoke from a fire can leave a nasty odor in the cab of your tractor/semi and can be extremely hard to remove. With Odor-Z-Way though, you can sprinkle 1-2 cans (depending on how bad the odor is) throughout your cab and close all of your windows and doors. Leave your tractor/semi closed up for at least 24 hours. In some cases you may have to leave the Odor-Z-Way in for 48-72 hours for extreme conditions. After this time period has elapsed, vacuum the Odor-Z-Way out of your cab. You will find that the Odor-Z-Way has absorbed all of that smoke out of your seats and floors, and your cab is now back to a smoke free cab. To dispose of the Odor-Z-Way, just throw it away in the trash can.
Dead Mouse Odor: Mice can get into all kinds of spots that are tough to get to like behind vending machines, in a wall, behind a refrigerator, etc. and end up dying. To get rid of the dead mouse smell, you first want to remove the source causing the odor which is the dead mouse. Next, take Odor-Z-Way and give a good dusting in the area where the mouse was.

If the odor is really bad or the room is larger than a normal sized room (10'x10') then you may have to sprinkle more Odor-Z-Way around the affected area. Make sure all of the windows and doors are closed to the room so that the Odor-Z-Way is only absorbing the odor and moisture from that specific area. Leave the Odor-Z-Way sit overnight. After this period of time, check the affected area to see if the odor is still present. If the odor is gone, vacuum up the affected area. Sometimes an odor may be very strong and you will have to allow the product to sit a little longer as well as add a little more Odor-Z-Way. Also, there might be times when the air is very dry.

If the blood stain was not completely removed on the first application or if the blood stain is anywhere from 1 hour old to 20 years old, you can use Odor-Z-Way to remove the blood stain. Since blood is water based, you will want to dampen the stain down by misting or dabbing some water over the affected area. Once you have done this, take the Odor-Z-Way and sprinkle the product over the affected area. Rub the Odor-Z-Way into the stain with your foot, a brush, etc. Leave the stain sit until it has dried. Once dried, vacuum the affected area. The stain and the odor are now completely gone. If some of the stain is still present, follow these directions again and it will be removed completely the second time.

Odor & Stain Removal From Clothes: There are many instances when odors cling to clothing. Mechanics usually have oil smelling clothes, farmers get the smell of cattle or pigs, and even regular body odors might be a problem. There are two different ways to solve this problem. The First example is for smelly clothes such as shirts. Place your shirt in a bag and then add one to two cups of Odor-Z-Way into the bag. Seal the bag off, so that the bag is air tight. Shake the bag up so that the product is spread throughout the entire bag. Let the bag sit for at least 4 hours. If you have more clothing, just add one to two cups extra per piece of clothing. After the suggested time has elapsed, pull your clothes out and they will have no odor to them. Second, if you just have a small spot, then take one to two teaspoons of the Odor-Z-Way and rub the product directly on the spot. Within a couple of minutes the odor will be eliminated. To dispose of the product, just wipe off the affected area and wash the article of clothing.
For fresh stain/spills in your clothing, take Odor-Z-Way and cover the spot. Odor-Z-Way can be used to remove red wine, fruit drinks, pop, coffee, blood, etc. Once you have applied the product, rub it into your clothing. Let Odor-Z-Way stand on the clothes until the affected area has dried. Once the area has dried wash your clothes. After you wash your clothes, the stain will be gone. If there is still a small amount of the stain left on your clothes, repeat this process again immediately after you pull your clothes out of the washer, so that they are still damp. You do not want to dry your clothes until the stain is out because drying them will set the stain in your clothing and you won't be able to get it out.
For stains that have already dried, you can also pull the stains out with Odor-Z-Way as long as you have not washed your clothes and put them in the drier. To do this, slightly dampen the affected area, but do not douse, for this will disable the Odor-Z-Way. After dampening the affected area, apply one to two tablespoons to the spot (this may take a little more for larger stained areas) until the stain is covered. Rub the product into the stain with a brush to penetrate deep into the fabric. Allow your clothing to sit until the stain has dried. Wash the piece of clothing. The stain should be gone, but if it is still present repeat this process again right after washing. Once you have removed the stain then you can dry you clothes.

Within minutes you will see the grease disappear. Just vacuum out of the carpet and the grease spots are gone.
Hand Cleaner - Stain and Odor Remover: When working in you shop you can acquire a wide variety of odor or stains on your hands that can be tough to remove. Whether you have carpenter's wood stain, oil, solvent, ect. that you cannot get off you hands with soap and water, you can use a little Odor-Z-Way to take care of your problem.
