Foul Odors Foil Used Car Sales

Sept. 8, 2008 - PRLog -- OLDSMAR, FLORIDA –– In today's economy, auto dealers need every possible advantage.

They need to know that they can take in a trade and not only make it sparkle on the outside, but eliminate any and every foul odor inside the car –– whether that foul odor is caused by smoke, mold, mildew, or bacteria.  

According to Norm Ferenz, president of Norman & Company in Oldsmar, Florida, Classic Odor Eliminator does exactly that.  It helps dealers make thousands more at retail or auction simply by eliminating offensive odors from within vehicles.  

“Heavy and unwanted odors in vehicles could cost dealers thousands of dollars in profit,” Ferenz said.  “No matter how well a used car shows on the outside, when a potential buyer opens the door and is confronted by an obnoxious odor, the door slams quickly, and the potential buyer moves on.”

He added that options currently available for dealing with interior odors are expensive, require a capital investment, and are, more often than not, ineffective in ridding cars, trucks, vans, and SUVs of odors beyond a relatively short period of time. “Odors have a way of coming back if they’re only masked or covered up,” he said.

Norman & Company’s Classic Odor Eliminator is a dealer’s best friend, according to Ferenz because of its simplicity of use and low cost.  For only $20.00 a vehicle, odors can be eliminated entirely from almost any vehicle.

Ferenz said that Classic Odor Eliminator does not mask or absorb odors, but delivers a chlorine dioxide gas –– a safe and effective biocide –– that not only eliminates odors, but also controls odor-causing bacteria, mold, and mildew.

The process of eliminating odors is basically “zero labor” according to Ferenz.  A dealership employee places the 25-gram packet in the vehicle’s cup holder, activates the dry chemical with warm water, closes up the vehicle, and walks away for 3 to 6 hours.

At the end of that time, the employee starts the vehicle. With fan on (not air conditioning), he runs the vehicle for 30 minutes, then turns off the vehicle, removes the Classic Odor Eliminator container, opens the windows for at least one hour. That’s all there is to it.  “It couldn’t be any easier,” Ferenz added.

Classic Odor Eliminator from NosGuard is an EPA registered product (EPA Reg. No. 72874-6) for use in confined spaces.
