I had put a dozen or so mothballs in my car engine area after mice ate through my car wires. I have since removed the mothballs but still have a bad odor of moth balls. Will one of your products work to get rid of this odor for me??

Yes, we have a few specialized products that could work for you to help rid the odor from mothballs. You can place Smelleze Reusable Mothball Deodorizer Pouches under the hood (when car is not in use) and inside your car to absorb and eliminate the mothball chemical odor. We also have a powder product you can use to treat the carpeting and upholstery.

A box of mothballs was in a plastic storage bin with velvet boxes of jewelry and had a strong odor. Also earrings on cardboard display cards. Most of the jewelry can be cleaned but I need to eliminate the box and cards of the odor for resale. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

To get the mothball odor out of your earrings and other items that are not washable, you may place them in a platic bag or container, insert a Smelleze Reusable Mothball Smell Deodorizer Pouch, and store for a few days to allow the mothball chemicals to be drawn out of the items. Repeat, if necessary, until the odors are gone and dust powder of in the garden.

I recently moved to a new home and it's an older home. One room is a heavy smell of moth balls. I can't tell where it is coming from. I think it's one vent, but could be wrong. I'm trying to determine if I should order a pouch to put in the vent? Or the powder and sprinkle in the vent and some in the closet?

I would recommend using the Smelleze Reusable Mothball Deodorizer Pouches. You can simply place it in the room as well on your return air vents (or inside the ducts) to filter the mothball odor out. The powder is best used to sprinkle on your carpeting and other surfaces to draw the odor out and vacuum afterwards. I would not use it in your vents.

I am renting a storage unit in the next 3 days. I live in Texas the unit is very cool - climate controlled. A Tennant used moth balls in their unit without permission. As a result the building has a strong moth ball smell. They believe they took the moth balls out.. I plan on shrink wrapping my mattresses for bugs, moisture and smells and put the stuff on pallets. How do I keep the moth ball smell which is the worst smell in the world from permeating my belongings.

Yes, the mothball fumes could easily permeate your belongings if you don't take precautions. I would suggest placing a Smelleze Reusable Mothball Smell Absorbent Pouch with each big item/s you package together and shrinkwrap. These pouches will absorb mothball vapors and protect your belongings. Also, use a few Smelleze pouches in your storage areas above and below each pallet to further eliminate any airborne odor to protect your valuable belongings.

How to get rid of mothball smell from basement that is coming up thru my air vents. Have been hoarse for 4 months.

Since the mothball odor is mainly coming from your forced air heating/cooling HVAC system, place Smelleze pouche son your return and supply air vents, inside your air ducts, and/or in front of the air return duct in your furnace. When used in this manner, the pouches will act as very efficient air purifiers to filter odors being pulled up from the basement without investing in any expensive equipment.

We have a box of mothballs buried in our attic insulation that we cannot get out. HELP!!!I was thinking of getting the smelleze granulers and sprinkling them into the insulation. Do you think this is the best approach or should I hang the smelleze pouches in the attic? How many pouches or what weight in pounds for the granules would be needed for a 1600 square feet house? Thanks.

I would recommend using the pouches rather than the granules in the attic mainly because the granules might be hard to clean up. The pouches can simply be hung or placed in the attic to absorb and eliminate the mothball fumes and easily removed when the job is done. So there is no mess or fuss. Another advantage is they can be rejuvenated and reused over and over again until the problem is solved.

My wife purchased a Louis Vuitton purse which was stored with moth balls to protect it but it reeks bad. Would you recommend the moth ball remover granular or powder version to remove the smell? Thank you.

In fact, I would recommend considering the Smelleze Reusable Moth Ball Odor Deodorizer Pouch for ease of use in your application. This is a self-contained product that you can simply insert directly into the purse for a week or so to draw out the mothball odors from the interior. Furthermore, you can also place the pouch with the Louis Vuitton purse in a small plastic bag or container for a few days to get the moth ball smell out from the exterior. Since this is reusable product, you can refresh it by exposure to direct sunlight for day and repeat the previously mentioned procedure until your wife's Louis Vuitton is odor-free again.

We shared a storage unit with a person who put moth balls in everything. Now all our stored items, from grad school notes and papers to childhood toys and books, reek of mothballs. Which of your products should we us to eliminate this toxic odour?

Simply store 3-5 mothball contaminated items with a pouch in a plastic bag or container for about a week to allow it draw the moth ball odours out. If necessary, repeat until they stop smelling. The product will not harm the items.

I took the advice of neighbors to put moth balls in my crawl space to keep mice from getting into my duct work. We now know, after almost killing my wife, that moth balls are toxic and are not meant to be used in that way. I removed the moth balls and aired out the house 2 or 3 days in a row. I have a 1,500 sq. ft. house and it still reeks of moth balls. I found your product - the reusable pouch and need to know how many I need. Am I able to keep reusing the same ones until the smell is gone?

I'm sorry to hear about your problem. I would recommend using 1 SMELLEZE Reusable Mothball Deodorizer Pouch for every 150 square feet or average sized room. This product can be reused for over a year with weekly rejuvenation in sunlight or microwave so it should outlast your problem. In addition to using the pouch indoors, consider sprinkling SMELLEZE Eco Mothball Deodorizer Granules in the crawl space area that you distributed the moth balls. This will stop any further vapors entering your home thus solving the problem quicker.

How do I get the bad smell of mothballs out of my little portable refrigerator naturally?

I would recommend placing a SMELLEZE Reusable Mothball Fumes Deodorizer Pouch in your fridge for about a week to let it remove the odors. If they are not all destroyed, repeat this procedure. The product is reusable for years so it will outlast the problem.

How much product do I need to order? My house smells like mothballs. It is coming from the attic. We have collected all of the moth balls that we can but it still stinks. Thanks

The mothball chemicals that were absorbed in your home will continue to degas although you have removed the moth balls. To stop this odor, I would recommend using 1 pouch/150 sq. ft. You can simply hang them in the attic and just place them on shelves or tables in your home. If you have a heating system that recirculates air, you can also place the pouches on the cold air return ducts so that the air can be continuously filtered as it recirculates.
