Applications for Revivex Odor Eliminator

How to get rid of bad smells so you can keep your friends:

The last thing we want to hear someone ask: ‘What’s that smell?’. No answer is okay, but a lot of times it ends up being:

It’s my cats. A skunk attacked me yesterday. I think it’s mildew. Smoke, sorry. Or better yet: “What smell?”

Keep awkwardness at bay and remove smell with Revivex Odor Eliminator. It’s a concentrated, all-natural formula that will have you breathing through your nose again. Wetsuits, footwear, sports equipment, tents, dog beds, anything to do with kids. Yes, it really works!

You can either soak or spray the items, here’s how to attack the most common problems:

  • Pet odors in carpet/house/car: Add 1/2 oz to two cups of water in a small spray bottle. Spray until fully saturated, air dry.
  • Skunk odor and smoke odor on clothing/gear: Add 1/2 oz to 10-20 gallons of water. Dip until saturated. Air dry.
