Equipment needed in this step
Be aware
Superstratum Deodor Bombs can quickly create ClO2 gas. Before activating the first dry sponge, place all Deodor Bomb kits in their correct location throughout the building. Begin activating the Deodor Bombs from the furthest point of the home, and work backwards moving towards the exit to reduce exposure as much as possible.
One person should not activate more than 10 Deodor Bombs. Be sure to have enough water available to activate all dry sponges before you begin. If you experience lightheadedness, or difficulty breathing during or after treatment, seek medical attention immediately.
Attention
Be sure you have placed all Deodor Bomb kits in their correct location. Be sure you have enough water available to activate all Deodor Bombs before start.
Put on your PPE and unpack Deodor Bomb
Assemble a pitcher of warm water, and put on your personal protective equipment. Remove all contents from the Deodor Bomb plastic clamshell container.
Activate Deodor Bomb
Start activating the Deodor Bombs from the furthest point of the home and work backwards moving toward the exit to reduce exposure to the gas as much as possible.
Wearing your N95 mask and nitrile gloves, gently pour water into all the clamshell containers to the top of the indicated fill line - it is the indention line below the waterline wording.
Do not overfill the containers. Remove the dry sponge from the foil wrapper, and place the dry sponge BLUE side down into the water. The sponge will begin to expand and activate. Do not pour excess water on top of the sponge. Within minutes the sponge will begin to generate a calculated amount of chlorine dioxide gas.
Attention
Do not over fill the containers. Place the dry sponge BLUE side down into the water.
Attention
Remember chlorine dioxide gas is extremely dangerous if it is inhaled. Be sure to wear your mask at all times when activating the Deodor Bombs.
Chlorine dioxide gas is extremely dangerous if it is inhaled. Be sure to wear your mask at all times when activating the Deodor Bombs.
Exit and lock up the confined space after you activate the Deodor Bombs! Ensure the warning placard is taped to the exterior door to ensure no one enters the containment zone or disturbs the Deodor Bomb treatment.
Allow the gas to envelope the home and all the contents inside for 12 undisturbed hours. You may wait more than 12 hours before returning to the area; however, this will not affect the performance of the Deodor Bombs.
Read the manual carefully and make sure you have all the necessary equipment and products on hand. For best results—and to ensure your safety and protect sensitive items—the process takes a full day, so plan ahead.
