Frequently Asked Questions

Vamoose has the ability to instantly convert the gaseous molecules (the odor) into non-volatile, inert salts that are non-odorous. It also dissolves on contact the tar residue (source of odor) without causing damage to fabrics, hard surfaces, carpet, wood, leather and other materials. No other product has this ability.

A sticky or tacky residue can result when larger quantities of the product are used or when other cleaning products were used prior to the Vamoose application, which prevents it from drying completely. Vamoose is water-soluble and wipes off easily using a warm damp towel. It is very important to allow 24 hours before attempting any follow-up cleaning.

No, but we recommend testing an inconspicuous area before using.

One way is that the cigarette or tobacco odor will disappear. Also, one may detect an odor, which is created by the product dissolving the tar residue...we call this the "conversion" odor. The intensity of this conversion odor is proportionate to the challenge level of the tar deposits...the more tar, the stronger the odor. This conversion odor does dissipate fairly quickly and is evidence that the product is working correctly. 

When this product comes into contact with the latent tar residue, it immediately starts dissolving it, creating an odor that is referred to as the "conversion" odor. The intensity and actual odor is proportionate to the challenge of tar residue that is being converted and has been described as a vinegar-like to a stronger sulfur-like smell. This "conversion" odor does dissipate fairly quickly.
