GM offers an odorless, water based, non-toxic odor eliminator (TechLink, March 2002)Â (fig. 3). It safely and permanently eliminates odors from all surfaces and HVAC systems. The 16 oz. container is available under GM part number 12378554 (88901678 in Canada).
Instructions are included with the product. For carpet and upholstery, after checking for color fastness, you can spray the product directly onto the odor source, brush into the fabric to ensure penetration, and blot excess moisture. For ventilation systems, spray directly into the cowl intake. At a cool setting, run the fan on high for several minutes. Then set the AC on max and run the fan for several more minutes. You can also add the product to the soap reservoir on shampoo equipment.
TIP: If you misplace the instruction sheets that come with the product, please do not call the manufacturer. All five pages of instructions for use (fig. 4) are now available in the Reference Guide on the TechLink website:
