How to Remove Musty Odors in your Home

Musty smells can be irritating and are common household issues for which SNiPER™ is the best answer. SNiPER will get rid of musty smells and kill the fungus that produces these smells safely, on contact. And because it is so safe, you don’t have to worry about using a toxic cleanser in your home. Using SNiPER, you can relax and breathe easy because SNiPER never releases toxic by-products and leaves no dangerous residues!

Musty odors come from fungus growths that could be growing invisibly in your sofa cushions, draperies, or on walls or floors. SNiPER™ is a great way to get rid of musty smells in furniture, your basement, home and your life.

How to Apply SNiPER 

To remove musty smells, use a fine mist to spray SNiPER™ directly on affected areas including walls floors and draperies. Spray until moist, making sure it is enough to penetrate to the source of the musty smells. Then, let it dry completely. If the smell returns after a day or two, re-apply SNiPER™. Several applications may be necessary to reach the source of the invisible fungal growths.

For fabrics, test that they are colorfast! You can do this by wrapping a soft absorbent white cloth around your index finger. Wet the tip with SNiPER and then rub your wet fingertip in an inconspicuous place for a minute or so. Examine the cloth to see if any color has transferred. If there is no color transfer, your fabric should be colorfast. If some color does transfer, be very careful – spray lightly.

My Sofa Has a Horrible Odor

For that old overstuffed sofa with a not-so-funny smell, you must remember that SNiPER™ is an oxidizer. What this means, is that SNiPER™ needs to come into direct contact with the smelly stuff (which, in this case, is an invisible fungus) to do it’s work. The fungus that is the source of musty odors may very well be growing deep in the stuffing of that old sofa. To permanently get rid of musty smells in your old sofa, SNiPER™ must penetrate to the depths of that stuffing and come into direct contact with ALL of the smelly stuff growing there. This method ensures that you reach all the smelly fungus growing deep in the stuffing. Spray heavily enough that SNIPER™ will penetrate to the deeps of the stuffing. You may want to dilute SNiPER by 2 parts water so that you have a lot of cleaning fluid to spray. Remember to test that the fabric is colorfast!

I Tried Vinegar – It Didn’t Work

If you have previously used acidic cleaners such as vinegar or a citrus based cleaner, first neutralize the acid with a baking soda and water solution before applying SNiPER™ so that SNiPER™ can work efficiently. Put a tablespoon of baking soda into a pint of water and spray it directly on the area where you previously used the acidic cleaner, let it dry thoroughly, then apply SNiPER™, confident that it will now do it’s job efficiently and successfully.

Musty Odors in Your Basement

If it is your basement which has a musty smell, try to find the sources of any water leaks that may ultimately be the source of the musty odors and spray that area directly with SNiPER™ and let it dry thoroughly. If you can’t find the source, use a fogger, a common household vaporizer, or a room humidifier. Mix SNiPER™ 50/50 with water and put it into the reservoir. Close all the windows and doors and turn on the unit. It will run until it has emptied the reservoir and will automatically turn itself off. This will create a ‘fog’ of SNiPER™ that will evenly coat every surface in the room and will also kill any fungus or mildew spores in the air.  

Sniper is non-corrosive, non-abrasive and has the lowest toxicity rating that the EPA gives out to any disinfecting product. You can use SNiPER confidently, knowing it is thoroughly tested to keep you and your family safe, while doing its work. With SNiPER, you can permanently get rid of musty smells in your home

Removed All The Feral Cat Urine

Sniper has been AMAZING. I was able to completely remove all the feral cat urine scent from the carpets, mattresses, clothing, and toys. It worked beautifully and left no smell, no fumes, and didn’t leave any discoloration. Sniper is now my cleaner of choice and I use it everywhere to clean and sanitize as well as freshen the air. I even use it in my daughter’s gym shoes and soccer bag. Thank you so much. Seriously the best product on the market.

Sniper Removed Old Water Odors, Mold & Mildew

I have been using Sniper in the Offshore oil industry as both a disinfectant and a deodorizer for years. It has eliminated old water smells of toilets and bathrooms not used in a year where the water sat and molded mildewed and stank. As well as being injected into our old quarters ac vents to prevent mold buildup. Always worked better than anything comparable and well worth the price.

Nok-Out Removed Old Dog Urine Odor

I have an Electrolux rug shampooer and was trying to remove old odors of dog urine in my oriental carpets. I shampooed them then put a concentration of 4-1 water to Nok-Out in the tank and went back over them. No more odor!! Worked great! Was sooo happy!

My Mildew Stain Disappeared!

I brought in the plants for winter and when it was time to move them back outside in the spring, I had a mildew stain on the carpet. I received my Nok-Out Carpet cleaner and sprayed the stain and let it sit for 10 minutes. When I returned to scrub the stain it was completely gone!! Woo hoo!! Thank you, Mary Hunt, for introducing me to this wonderful product!

Sniper Eliminated Our Mold Problems!

We’ve used SNiPER disinfectant for several years. It works great. It has eliminated our mold problems and, still, we use it to keep our wooden cutting boards safe.

“Nok-Out Saved My New Car!”

Thank you for creating such a great product. I would and will recommend this to everyone I know. My son left raw meat in my car for 4 days and I thought that my new car was ruined, but after talking with you and using the product, I can now get in my car and the only thing that I smell is a clean, disinfected smell! Thank you for saving my new car!

Cats Get Old!

Cats get old. Things happen. Nok-Out was recommended to me by a friend in another state. I Will never go to the pet store again to try any other product. Nok-Out is IT! I told my Veterinarian about it. I love how fast it arrives after ordering. I ordered three times because we are still working on issues, but at least the house doesn’t SMELL! Amazing product. THANK YOU!

I Am Amazed at The Results!

I learned about Nok-Out from Mary Hunt’s Everyday Cheapskate column and had to try it. Shipping was so fast and your customer service is OUTSTANDING! I am amazed at the results! I even filled a tiny spray bottle to keep in my car. I won’t be wasting my money on any other cleaners anymore. You have a lifetime customer here. Thank you so much!

Rotten Potato Smell Gone!

There cannot be anything worse than potatoes that are forgotten and rot. Any pet I have ever had that had an accident cannot compare. Nok-Out eliminated the odor quickly. What a wonderful product!

Completely Eliminate a Horrible Smell

Mary Hunt introduced me to Nok-Out years ago and I am still amazed at how it can completely eliminate a horrible smell.

Yesterday I hosed some dust off a plastic laundry basket. I left it outside to dry for a bit and then returned it to the garage.

A few hours later I walked into the garage and the entire place reeked of cat pee! I did not realize that the neighborhood tom cat had come by and sprayed my basket. It was so bad that I was ready to trash it, but I thought I would try to spray it down with Sniper first. I doused it liberally and left it overnight. Ta Da! Absolutely no smell this morning!

Even after all these years, I am still amazed every time your product works on a smell as terrible as cat spray!

Thank you, Ted!

Christmas tree and Raggedy Ann

We have an artificial Christmas tree that’s still gorgeous but old. Putting it up always bothers my asthma and irritation from getting scratched is not pleasant. Last year I sprayed the tree and the “old tree” smell disappeared. I had purchased Sniper on Mary Hunts advice and it really took care of the basement (moldy) smell! Great! My daughters vintage dolls with cloth bodies had spots of mold or mildew, these are dolls my grandchildren play with. Oh my goodness! Sprayed the doll’s bodies and yarn hair, and the next day they all smelled great, moldy spots gone ! These dolls were over 30 years old and now look soooo good! Would recommend Sniper for other uses, too. Doggy rug smells gone! Smelly shoe odors gone. Grateful to Mary Hunts column for letting us know. 😊👍⭐️
