Arrived With Odor
When I received the zeolite rocks I noticed an urine-like odor on the bags that came with them but I thought it would dissipate later. Yet, after a few hours it was stronger, so I removed the rocks from the bags and put them in two cut tee shirt sleeves, it was better than the bags but still smelly. Finally, I put the zeolite in plastic cups which, again, was better but didn't dispel the odor all together. I thought in time the odor would dissappear.<br /><br />On the second day, I sprinkled about six or seven of the rocks on an unused basement bathroom floor behind the door where one of the original odors I was trying to get rid of was strongest, but after awhile it became unbearable. My nose, throat, face and chest were burning. I collected the rocks and put them away in a drawer. After contacting the company about the odor and receiving no response, I  decided to return them.<br /><br />On the third day, I put them in foam bowls in the sunlight to air out. Even after two hours the odor was still there. I put the zeolite and its bags back into the original packaging. The return was picked up today, the fourth day after I used them.<br /><br />I considered what could have gone wrong. There were river rocks already in some of these places which I had to remove because the odor from the zeolite clung to them. Also, in two places I had plugin negative ion emitters. But after removing them, the odor grew stronger. I can only conclude that the urine-like smell from the bags was the original problem.<br /><br />I believe that the zeolite outgassed the odor from the bags that came with it. The odor still has not dissipated from my home though it's not as strong as it was before. I'll have to wait. Hopefully, it’ll be gone soon.<br />The zeolite did get rid of the odors in the places I placed them in. Even behind the basement bathroom door. But the pain and burning I received in return was, of course, not worth it.
