DEODORIZING

Deodorizing

EM1 CAN GET RID OF ALMOST ANY SMELL...INSTANTLY

EM•1® has an amazing ability to eliminate almost any foul odor. Simply dilute some EM•1® in water and spray the area where the smells are coming from. Odors will be gone almost on contact.. The microbes will work on breaking down the materials causing the odor as well.

Surfaces that have been soaked with can be soaked with an EM•1® and water solution. It is safe on any surface. On areas where there are metal parts that have rust, you'll notice that applying the EM•1® regularly will remove the rust and the metal will become shiny again.

SMOKE

Smoke from cigarettes or cigars can ruin the smell of a room. If you have an area that smells of smoke, be it a room or a car, you can get rid of the smell with the 1:10 dilution of EM•1® to water. For carpeted areas or upholstered furniture, you will have to soak the solution in using an upholstery cleaning machine or a carpet cleaner.

FOOD

Although the smell of freshly baked bread or apple pie makes a home smell great, some foods we love we wish we didn't have to smell af

ter we eat them. Fish and curries are some of these. EM•1® to the rescue!

Dilute 1 ounce EM•1® into 10 ounces of water in a spray bottle and spritz the entire room or house.

Another easy way to deodorize larger areas is to add about 1/4 cup EM•1® in a vaporizer, plug it in, and let it run for a few hours. The house will smell like warm molasses while the EM•1® is fogging the room. After about 4 or 5 minutes, there will be no smell at all.

PET ODOR

If you own a pet, it is inevitable that a

t one time or another that the animal is going either have an accident on the floor, or track in some stench from outside. No need to worry...if you have some EM•1® around.

If the animal itself smells, such as when dogs get wet, you can simply spray the animal with a 1:10 dilution of EM•1® Microbial Inoculant to water. Or, you can add about 1/4 cup of EM•1® to some bath water for the animal.

Since EM•1® is perfectly safe for all

animals, you can spray down any animal that likes water or give them a bath.

Urine and Feces
For accidents on porous surfaces,such as carpets and brick, you can soak the area with a 1:10 dilution of EM•1® to water. After it dries, if there is still some odor, simply apply once more. Two times should do the trick. For kennels, animal hospitals, animal stalls, or other large areas, using a sprayer, such as the hose-end sprayer used in the video above, is the easiest way to cover a large area quickly.

Skunk:

If you have ever had the misfortune of an animal being sprayed by a skunk, you'll know that the odor burns the eyes and lungs and you'd do anything to get rid of the smell. As you may have guessed, EM•1® will get rid of it in seconds. If the 1:10 dilution doesn't work, feel free to put it on undiluted. You will be glad you had s

ome EM•1® around if this ever happens!

Litter Box or cages:

If you have a pet that uses a litter box or lives in a cage (hampsters, rats, etc.) you can add about 2 cups of EM•1® Rice Bran Bokashi to fresh litter. It will control the smell of urine and feces.

TESTIMONIALS

We live on a small farm in Tennessee and love our pets. We take our two Yorkshire Terriers to the beauty parlor but Matilda, the “outside” dog, is a big hairy mutt and doesn’t get the same treatment. She always smells very “doggy”, especially after the rain. My friend game me some EM•1® to try and I sprayed her twice. She smelled wonderful after applying the solution but I realized that you need to remember to always do the bedding!

I was skeptical at first because she alw

ays smelled. Now she smells squeaky clean and it’s a pleasure to pet her and hug her – and I don’t come away smelling doggy too!

I was camping this weekend and our friend's dog got sprayed by a skunk. I just happened to have some activated EM with me that I had brought out to put in the stock tank and it totally did the trick! I remembered your story about dunking you dog in EM when s/he got sprayed! So thank you!

I love EM•1® so much we have shared it with all we know and would love to see it used on a large scale to clean up our area rivers and lakes. But one use in particular that others may not know: We have a lovely old dog who is very large and with very thick hair - he is too old to bathe anymore and well...kind of smells. W e mist him with EM•1® and presto, no more old doggie smell. Works wonders on his bedding and any "accidents" on the floor.

Thank you EM•1® for making our house a healthier and cleaner home!

In peace - Tammy

WATER AND POND TREATMENT WITH EM

Home Water Gardens & Pond

Water gardens offer household gardeners some variety in landscape plantings. These small ponds develop their own ecosystem that can oftentimes go out of balance. If the water is left stagnant for too long, mosquitoes will start to inhabit the area, algae begins to form in the water, and odors can start to appear. Adding in a water feature, such as a fountain, that moves the water can cut down on these problems. Depending on the water quality, however, algae and calcium deposits may still form. You can help maintain water clarity with Effective Microorganisms™.

Using EM•1®Microbial Inoculant once per month will keep enough beneficial microbes in the system to keep nutrient levels low enough to prevent the growth of algae. Interestingly, EM•1® Microbial Inoculant also has the ability to neutralize salts, such as calcium, and prevent them from crystallizing on surfaces. It will also clean the crystallized salts off the surfaces it is in contact with.

On average, for a healthy pond or water garden, EM•1® Microbial Inoculant is applied once per month. Because of the size of ponds, we recommend the use of Activated EM*1® Microbial Inoculant. The rate is 1 part Activated EM•1® for every 10,000 parts water. Higher concentrations are not necessary under normal conditions. Over time, frequency of application can be decreased while maintaining the same ratio (applying every other month or 4 times per year). Allow several weeks for the Activated EM•1® to work. Some slime (muck) from the bottom will slowly rise to the surface. Leave it and let nature do its thing as it will disappear shortly.

Treating Aquriums with Effective Microorganisms


Effective Microorganism™ is used extensively around the world in aquaculture. The same principles can work in an aquarium. In a fish aquarium, residual feed and droppings tend to rot, and ammonium nitrogen is produced. N-Type ceramics are effective in adsorbing the nitrogen. It is more effective also to use ceramics that change water into good water having a lot of dissolved oxygen by making the water clusters small (structuring water).

N-Type, 35mm pipe, K-Type, and Yugo Ball ceramics can all be used for this application.

You will need one bag of N-Type for every 10 gallons of capacity of the aquarium.

Additionally, EM-1® can be used to prevent algae growth in aquariums and ponds by competing with the algae for nutrients. Typical monthly application rates are one part EM•1® for every 10,000 parts of water.

To figure out how much EM•1® you need, calculate how many gallons of water the aquarium holds (128 ounces per gallon). Multiply the total number of gallons by 128 to find how many ounces of water you need to treat. Divide this by 10,000. Example for a 10 gallon aquarium:
