The Arm & Hammer 84128 uses a high-expansion foam delivery system designed to penetrate deep into carpet and fabric fibers. Tests show that the formula effectively breaks down nitrogenous compounds, such as those found in pet-related odors, rather than simply covering them up. The foam is engineered for rapid evaporation, typically reaching a dry-to-touch state within fifteen minutes. This 15 oz unit is built with a tinplate steel canister that resists corrosion, supporting a shelf life of up to three years when stored in a climate-controlled environment.
While the chemical formulation is highly effective, the mechanical delivery system presents specific usability constraints. Reports indicate a notable failure rate regarding the nozzle, where solidified baking soda particles can obstruct the valve seat, occasionally making it difficult to access the remaining product. To maintain the best spray quality, clearing the nozzle after each use is a practical step for the home organizer. Additionally, the propellant system is sensitive to the angle of use; keeping the can at an angle of 45 degrees or higher helps ensure the internal pressure is maintained throughout the life of the product.
If you prefer a liquid-based alternative that avoids aerosol mechanical risks, the Pharma-C Odor Eliminator provides a surfactant-based spray in a standard trigger bottle.
