A harsh, hazardous chemical

Leaves behind a strong odor (described as the smell of a swimming pool, fuel oil, kerosene, chemicals, or cat urine)

Works for some odors in the air and on surfaces, but not those absorbed into carpet, upholstery, headliner and other fabrics

Strong odors are usually only temporarily removed, they often come back in a week or two

Scent Renu enzymes are environmentally safe and not hazardous to humans

Enzymes break down the odor-causing agents, leaving zero odor behind

Removes odors beneath the surface

Odor is eliminated for good

At ground level ozone is a hazardous air pollutant

Ozone reacts with airborne compounds to create even more dangerous byproducts such as formaldehyde

Ozone treatment leaves behind a strong odor

Ozone can remove some organic compounds from the air, but odors absorbed into porous surfaces are not removed

The Scent Renu formulas do not use harmful or irritating chemicals

No dangerous byproducts are left behind

Enzymes absorb into porous surfaces to attack odor at its source

Negative ions are produced that attract and reduce particles in the air such as dust and pollen

Does not remove odors effectively

Ionizers produce ozone as a by-product, releasing levels of ozone in the air that are higher than acceptable safety standards for humans

An atomized enzyme formula is applied to soft surfaces and absorbs to break down odors within

A fog is then used to cleanse the air and remove odor-causing agents on hard surfaces

The fog is also distributed into the ventilation system to remove odors that could be recirculated and reintroduced into the air

The process leaves behind no dangerous residue or by-products.

These take hours to work, then more time must pass before an area or vehicle can be re-entered safely

Many claim to work for only 30 days, clearly indicating that the underlying odor has not been removed

Often, these simply reduce or cover up the odor for a time

The initial Scent Renu treatment process happens quickly, you can be back in the vehicle or property within an hour or two

The enzymes continue to work for 24 to 48 hours

When the enzymes fully complete their work, the original bad odor is eliminated—gone for good

These are designed simply to mask and disguise odors

Instead of deodorizing, air fresheners do nothing more than put artificial odors in the air to overpower bad smells

They re-odorize rather than de-odorize

This odor treatment process does not mask, disguise, or cover up odors

Scent Renu formulas attack the odor at its source

Although each formula does have a unique fragrance when it is initially applied, after the enzymes have done their work zero odor is left behind

Some claim to remove all organic stains, kill all bacteria, and neutralize all odors with just one application; odors, however have a variety of causes so a one-size-fits-all approach is bound to work better on some odors than others

Many of these products must be sprayed, rewetted, scrubbed into the surface, combined with upholstery or carpet cleaning products, and sometimes there is so much moisture involved that an extractor must be used to try and pull out the liquids that have soaked deep within

Using these products can be a time-intensive process that has the potential to introduce new moisture-related odors

Scent Renu has several formulas specifically designed to attack different types of odor—mildew, smoke (of various kinds), pet odor, body odor, etc.

The process uses an atomized mist that does not introduce a great deal of moisture into the area

It is applied and left to do its work, no time and labor-intensive work is needed to finish the job

The enzymes do their work, and do it completely!
