Biocide Systems Room Shocker Strong Odor Eliminator for Home & Office, Eco-Friendly Chlorine Dioxide Odor Bomb for House Interior Up to 400 Square Feet of Floor Space

I know this is marketed as a deodorizer, but it’s much more. Chlorine dioxide is used in mold remediation as well as things like crime scene cleanup because it’s a very effective oxidizer. So when I had a small gap in my shower surround from replacing hardware, I grabbed what I knew would work. And it did! Usage is as easy as could be. Put the container in the middle of the room and open cupboards and drawers. Open the foil pack and put the small mesh bag in the cup it came in, add one included measure of water, exit and close the door. It will smell like chlorine, so if you can do this while you won’t be home for…a day or so…you will thank yourself. Important to note, this is NOT the chlorine gas that will eat your lungs in seconds. That’s what you get when chlorine is in the second part of the name like sodium hypochlorite (chlorine bleach). In this case, it’s the oxygen that does the heavy lifting. Still, it will smell like a pool for a while. Came back a day later, aired out the bathroom, and the musty smell has not returned. I’m happy enough that when I go away for a week next time, I’m setting several of these in the house, including one on a ladder beneath the return for my heat pump, and giving the whole house a nuke any funky scents face lift. I mean, my house doesn’t stink, but this will make sure there’s no mold or mildew anywhere and will nuke the last of the smoke for from the previous owner of my house.

I used one container of room shocker in the small one car garage, and one in the kitchen, but I didn't notice a difference in either area. After further review of chlorine dioxide from another company I don't think these containers have enough product to cover the 400 square foot room that is advertised on these containers, from other companies that sell chlorine dioxide their suggested product usage was a larger quantity for a smaller area. Unless of course the product I received was defective, I don't see why it wouldn't have worked. Does not eliminares idols. Does not eliminate odors. The container was nice and durable sturdy, there was no leakage from the cup. The product was yellow when I first activated it with water and then 24 hours later it was white.

We bought our house two years ago from smokers who smoked all day long for years in our home. We hoped after all their furniture, curtains, and carpeting was removed and we painted, the smell would be eliminated, but two years later we still pull clothes out of our closet that have old musty smoke smell or we’ll come home after a long trip and the smell will return somehow. I used the biocide in two rooms now (the first over a month ago and the second 1 week ago) and so far both rooms have dramatically improved and smell clean. However my biggest complaint with this item is that it doesn’t warn you that it will bleach fabrics it comes in contact with. I put this on our bed in the middle of the room, put it in a bowl on a tray, as the instructions suggest this in case the product spills, not because the vapors will damage fabrics. When I returned to the room 20ish hours later, the bedspread had a bleach stain approximately 1 ft wide on each side of the tray holding the bowl that held the cup of biocide. The instructions need to be edited to warn against this. While I’m pleased with results I’m upset at the damage it caused to an expensive duvet cover despite following the instructions. Be warned this will bleach fabrics it comes in contact with!!

When nothing else would work to get rid of a strong cat smell in a rental, this actually worked. Not perfect, but a million times better. So relieved!

I didn't know how to use it. The lid went off. But the effect is indeed very good.
