 2-Q: Does E^XSTINK have any odor?
A: NO. E^XSTINK has absolutely no odor of its own, nor does it leave any scent after use. After treatment, the carpet and room should smell fresh and clean.

 3-Q: What does the term "GUARANTEED" mean?
A: E^XSTINK carries a "satisfaction, cost of product is guarantee." This means that if a customer is not satisfied "for any reason," return the product in the orginal container and cost of product will be refunded, within 30 days of purchase, no questions asked.

 4-Q: Will the powder damage my carpet in any way?
A: NO. The E^XSTINK powder is so fine, there is no grit, like sand, which can damage carpet. E^XSTINK will not damage any carpet, even if left in heavy traffic lanes.

 5-Q: What happens if E^XSTINK gets wet?
A: No problem. E^XSTINK may be applied to wet, or even flooded, carpets. Water is more a friend than foe to E^XSTINK. E^XSTINK is sold to the plumbing and aquarium industries for use underwater. When plumbers go out on a sewer backup call, E^XSTINK is sprinkled directly into raw sewage. E^XSTINK immediately begins eliminating odors from both the sewer water and the room environment. By the time the plumbers leave, odors are usually all gone.

E^XSTINK is also sold to pet stores and aquariums in a gravel form which covers aquarium floors. E^XSTINK eliminates ammonia in the tank water caused by fish urine. More and more water purification companies are using E^XSTINK in well water and storage tanks. For them, E^XSTINK is packaged in various size plastic mesh sacks. These sacks are placed in wells and large storage tanks like large tea bags, eliminating all bad odors from the water, giving it back a good, natural taste.

When applied to wet carpets, E^XSTINK will cake up and appear muddy. However, when it dries it returns to a fine powder which is easily vacuumed. It will not stain any carpet. Any residue may be easily removed by wiping with a damp sponge mop. E^XSTINK may be applied directly on pet urine, even when soaking wet.

  6-Q: Will E^XSTINK work on thick upholstery, overstuffed sofas, foam cushions and down pillows?
A: YES. E^XSTINK is excellent at removing sofa, upholstery & pillow odors caused by pets, vomit, urine, mildew, cigarette smoke, fish, perspiration and more -- almost always in just one hour. For overstuffed sofas, mattresses and pillows, sprinkle liberally over one side. If odor persists, reapply. NOTE: E^XSTINK will not work on plastic or latex fabrics. Plastic is an insulator, like the factory container. E^XSTINK will only remove odors from the surfaces of plastic carpet or upholstery.

 7-Q: Will breathing the dust harm anyone?
A: NO. It may get a little dusty when applying E^XSTINK, however, it is a heavy dust and will not linger long in the air. It settles in a matter of minutes. Breathing E^XSTINK dust will not harm humans or pets, even if exposed for long periods.

The agriculture industry mixes E^XSTINK into animal feed where it is used as a vitamin and also to remove toxins from the animals' systems. If you have eaten a taco recently, you may have some E^XSTINK in you right now. Plans are being made to distribute E^XSTINK in capsules to health food stores. Look for it on shelves as early as next year.

Although there is nothing in the E^XSTINK mineral which will harm you, if the dust is so great as to cause breathing difficulty, we recommend wearing a dust mask.

 8-Q: Is there any chemical reaction when used with carpet cleaning chemicals?
A: NO. E^XSTINK is a non-reactive mineral which has absolutely no reaction to any chemicals, enzymes, acids, alkalines, compounds or sprays -- regardless of their reactivity with other matter or products.

 9-Q: Will any vacuum pick up all of the E^XSTINK powder from down inside the carpet?
A: Most vacuums are quite capable of holding 1-2 lbs. of E^XSTINK before changing bags. However, some inexpensive upright home vacuums may be very weak and may not accept more than 1 pound. Some bags may plug up easily while others are so porous they release dust. We have experienced no problems lifting E^XSTINK with commercial vacuums. Don't be too concerned about picking up every last bit of E^XSTINK. It has no grit and will not harm carpets -- even if left in traffic lanes. Leaving some E^XSTINK inside the carpet will control room odors 24 hours a day.

E^XSTINK IS SO EFFICIENT, YOU COULD INVITE THE CITY ZOO TO YOUR HOME FOR A WEEKEND PARTY. AFTER YOUR GUESTS LEAVE AND THE LUMPS ARE REMOVED, ALL ODORS WILL BE GONE IN JUST ONE HOUR WITH ONLY 1 LB. OF ExSTINK PER ROOM.

 10-Q: Are there any odors E^XSTINK will not eliminate?
A: YES. E^XSTINK is a mineral with a negative ion charge. Odor gases having a like charge, e.g., gasoline & other petroleum products, chemicals, paint, etc., are not affected. Only odors having a positive charge are absorbed by E^XSTINK -- such as urine, vomit, mildew, smoke, garbage, all forms of decomposition, etc.

 11-Q: What is the shelf life?
A: E^XSTINK does not carry an expiration date because, after packaging from the factory, its shelf life is measured in terms of decades. In the factory container, E^XSTINK will retain full strength for over 20 years.

 12-Q: Will it damage my carpet cleaning equipment?
A: NO. E^XSTINK will not damage any carpet cleaning equipment. Vacuuming prior to steam cleaning is not necessary.

 13-Q: Why is E^XSTINK better than all of the others?
A: (1): OZONE MACHINES: (a) Expensive. Ozone machines cost $500 & up; (b) They require an operator; (c) Over-use can cause damage to fabrics and upholstery; (d) The fumes emitted are toxic and persons cannot work in same room while the machine is operating; (e) Because ozone machines process the room air by sucking it in one end, like a vacuum cleaner, treating it with a static charge, and then returning it to the room, this leaves a "burnt" smell in exchange for the odor you eliminated. Airing out the room following an ozone treatment is usually appropriate.

(2) CHEMICAL SPRAYS: (a) These sprays are expensive and require labor costs to apply. (b) They don't last long. (c) They work best on cigarette smoke, but fall short on urine, vomit and other odors. These shortcomings alone are enough to eliminate it as a serious alternative to E^XSTINK.

(3) ENZYMES: Enzymes are applied wet, and they aretoxic. More important, they don't always work well against strong odors.

(4) BAKING SODA (Sodium Bicarbonate): This is fine for eliminating odors in refrigerators, shoes and for other small jobs. Baking Soda has been sold in the cleaning supply industry for many years and also at pet stores in kitty litter. But, that's as far as it goes. Baking Soda is not strong enough to compete with E^XSTINK, nor will it adsorb odors over and above ammonia, refrigerators and shoes. Moreover, it cannot be used in combination with any enzyme treatment because a chemical reaction between the two renders them ineffective.

(5) ZEOLITE: Zeolites will not hold more than a natural ion charge. E^XSTINK holds the highest natural ion charge of any matter known. Moreover, the Zeolite structure has a lattice (tunnel) diameter far less than that of E^XSTINK. In every laboratory and field test conducted, the E^XSTINK mineral accepts a higher volume of gases and variety of odors.
