It helped with musty smells and even helped with paint and harsh chemical smells

Not when I'm in the house. I have it in a mobile home which is unoccupied often and I leave it running when we're not there so it won't smell"musty".

Great question; however, I don't have an answer. I know it eliminates odor in a room in a few seconds (not minutes), but seconds. Since it supposedly doesn't contain any harsh chemicals, I assume it can help with stinky shoes.

I would assume it would help with musty smells because it effectively rids cat urine odor, which is very strong.

Hi Sabrena, to be honest with you I only have used the steamer on recently washed clothes & have no idea if it removes odors. You may want to ask other people who have used this steamer also, they may have an answer for you......Zoey

No. It will kill germs within a 3 feet radius though. It is not powerful enough to eliminate odors.

Not at all, and any light scent dissipates within seconds. This product works, just give it a little time.

It does have an odor but I used it in my poorly ventilated laundry room without any problems.

I did not use zero odor for mildew smell ands our laundry smell. If you're referring to smells in a carpet then maybe try the odor eliminator...but I have not used it.

Honestly, I got it to remove allergens. I have a cat too and have noticed a less musty smell. The unit is located about 10 feet from the litter box.

Yes. Not instantly, but after a few hours or overnight has worked for me. It works well to freshen clothes. I place it close to the garment and open buttons or zippers to air can flow around the unit and the garment to where odors are. In my experiencen, the closet purifer helps keep odors from transferring to other clothes in a closet, too.

I use Win with our HE washing machine. The stink is gone from all work out clothes!!!

I do believe that it would. I was having a problem with my basement having a really bad musty smell. When I put them in my basement, the smell went away. Hope they work for you as well. Thanks...

Yes, I've used this product in musty areas and it is effective. I've been home and have used this product around my kids and pets with no detrimental results. I recommend changing the filter often...every 3 months. One draw back I have found is the bare wiring inside the unit will eventually rust, and the fan needs cleaned and lubricated from time to time to keep it running in top shape.

If you're getting a musty smell, you don't have enough dehumidifying going on. This device works fine by itself keeping my safe dry, but I live in a low humidity area, have central AC which does it's own job keeping moisture in my house low, and I'm not constantly going in and out of my safe. Low humidity is something you can totally go "belt and suspenders" on. Get this, get a glow road, get a rechargeable dehumidifier from eva-dry... you will never make it too dry. To sum up, if you're getting a musty smell, you're not dry enough.

Not for certain. If it removes (and I know for a fact it does) a musty smell I would imagine so because of the charcoal.

Truthfully, I don't know. I suppose it would depend on how strong the smell is. We live in an old house, with a coat closet located in a combination laundry room/bathroom, so I need something to eliminate and prevent a musty odor in the closet. This deodorizer works very well for that purpose.
