Odor-Out is a carpet and room deodorizer and absorbent. Simply sprinkle over a carpet and vacuum it up; it wont damage vacuum parts or carpet fibers. Safe, light, non-abrasive, biodegradable cellulose (natural) based formula stays on top of carpet. It easily vacuums up because of the larger particle size unlike competing deodorizing carpet powders. Non-abrasive formulation doesnt damage vacuum parts or carpet fibers, keeping them like new.
