Kayak.. I THINK the soil based stuff just helps your body handle the mold. Not sure.
I'll look at those items later.
I love Thieves too. Wish my husband did!

Lab Rat I have a bad neighbor that burnes crap blowing on my house getting inside eventually.
Would this kill the smoke leaking into my house????

Hi doggy, don't know, It would just depend an the volume I would think. I kind of doubt it, the amount of ozone it would take would probably bother you just as much as the smoke. After the fire is out, it would help get you back to normal. They use large generators to work on smoke damaged homes. That's about all I know about that.
Have you been getting better?

Hi Labrat No, I have been real bad all summer. The down turn came when the neighbor somked me out of my home and i yelled at him real bad. i called him things like redneck,inbred hillbilly,and briar hopper.
After that i have never been ok,my nerves are shot!!!
I am worse than ever before.
I live in fear of him lighting the fire ring up ,and watch it every day as he adds crap to it.
I leave when he does and stay at my brothers place.

Does he add plastic and stuff? There are laws now. I was downwind of a neighbor who did that but i just closed up tight when he did it. Didnt confront him or turn him in
It was crazy. He used o2. Both him and his wife dying of lung disease and he kept doing that
His house was very high so the fumes just settled down on all of us lower than him
You could talk to fire chief. Tell him it really hurts your health. Would he know it was you who complained?

To those who have installed hardwood flooring: can you smell the adhesive, glue, whatever you use to attach it to the floor?
Also, what about the finish, varnish whatever on the hardwood? Does it smell much?
Has anyone ever made an area rug out of carpet tiles?
I just read about this, and apparently, it's much cheaper alternative to buying a regular area rug.
Didn't read all of the above comments on ozone, in case this wasn't mentioned,
ozone works great for some, but there are others who are very sensitive to it.
It can be hard on the respiratory system.

I made an area rug out of carpet tiles when I was teaching. I think I used duct tape on the back??

Hiker ive been studying this for a few years now. It took awhile to realize you can off gass it outside before you put it down
And the same product would sometimes make me react if it had only been in the warehouse for a Short time but then not make me react if it had been there a long time
One product i found that never smelled is allure vinyl plank. You can google it or check home depot site
It is boxed so i dont think.it would have a chance to off gas. It is advertised as being very low voc
The worst so far has been carpet that was supposed to be low voc
If a worker tells you it is low voc i think you should make sure you check with company that makes it and see for yourself how it is rated...
Tutu is right about laminent not. Needing glue. Both allure vinal plank and laminent can come "floating"-without glue or with glue
The glue is pretty bad. Carpet comes with tack strips-no glue...or with glue
Where are you planning to put new floor?
Also it is important to know that laminent has glue in it...and has to be sawed so it is dusty and glue can get in air
The vinyl i used you cut with a knife...really easy and clean and it has some low voc glue on tabs that didnt bother me
The stores usually have an open box for samples -you could bring a few home and sit near them to see if they make you sick
I can send you pic if you pm me cell number

I bought a Therapure a few years ago. I vacuum the filter once a month. There are all sorts of things on it- ion and uv/voc, but have no idea what they do.
Guess I could find the instructions. It is a great purifier and has awesome white noise the hubby likes cause his ear drums were blown up in Vietnam.
Any suggestions- is this a good one?

I borrowed an Air Oasis to eliminate smells in the room and I'm very happy with it.
