Odor Eater Offers A Breath Of Fresh Air

Odor Eater Offers A Breath Of Fresh Air FARM HOME Miscellaneous 26-6-28 If you've ever washed a dog in tomato juice after an encounter with a skunk, you'll be interested in this new odor-destroying product that can take skunk stink off a dog with a few squirts. Developed by Scott Androff, Bloomington, Minn., "Atmosklear" is an odorless odor killer that works on everything. Androff came up with the product after every commercial product he tried to remove pet odors from his grandmother's apartment failed. He began by mixing chemicals he thought might help and then consulted extensively with a chemist. His criteria for the product were that it remove the odor without leaving a masking odor of its own and that it be environmentally safe and biodegradable. It took six months to come up with a working formula for Atmosklear to field-test. While he won't divulge any of the ingredients publicly, Androff routinely demonstrates its safety by spraying a little into his mouth and swallowing. Once he was convinced the product had merit, he formed Twin Star Industries and enlisted a friend, Bruce Hilsen, to help produce and market the product. In the short time it's been on the market, Atmosklear has been used by pet owners, soccer moms who want the "sports team" odor out of their mini-vans, RV and car owners with interior odor problems, and fishermen who forget to bring their catch in from the car trunk. Homeowners spray it directly on furnace filters. An international cruise line buys Atmosklear by the case to remove the telltale traces of seasickness. Twin Star Industries has a number of other commercial customers in the automotive and hospitality industry. And yes, it can get the livestock smell out of your clothes while you're wearing them if you've had to make an emergency stop in the barn on your way to church. Atmosklear is available in 32 oz., 16 oz., and 4 oz. pump spray bottles. Androff says the 4 oz. bottle, for $4, will fit in a purse or vehicle glove box. The most popular size is the 32 oz. bottle that sells for $17.99. He says most people won't use this up in a year. If you're a big user, though, you can buy a gallon jug for under $50 to refill your spray bottles. Product carries a money-back guarantee and technical support is available at their toll-free number.
