We're so sorry our customer, Anthony, didn't have satisfactory results. It is difficult to know why the effects were not as expected, but we advise customers to be sure soiled surfaces are cleaned or removed before use of the odor bomb, and to use an appropriate number of cans for the area to be treated (1 can per every 10,000 cubic feet, which works out to about 1250 sf in areas with 8' ceilings). It is possible that this particular can was defective, because it would not be expected for the liquid to make a mess of a 3' radius area. It is recommended that a rag, newspaper, or paper plate to be placed underneath the can to protect the immediate area. If your One Shot Fire Odor Bomb Fogger does not appear to disperse properly, please notify someone in Customer Service at info@cleancontrol.com or at 800.841.3904. We are in Mon-Fri, 9A-4P, with the exception of weekends and holidays.
