How to Use a Lampe Berger to Eliminate Odor

If you want to remove odors such as from pets, tobacco smoke, cooking or even mildew, consider a Berger lamp (aka Lampe Berger). The lamps clean the air by a unique process of high-temperature catalytic combustion. The combustion destroys bacteria and the molecules behind odors while lightly perfuming the air. For an average room, the odors will be eliminated in just a few minutes; regular air fresheners just cover up the odors with fragrance.

Things You'll Need

  • Fragrance oil
  • Lighter

Instructions

    • 1

      Fill the lamp 2/3 full with fragrance oil.

    • 2

      Soak the dry wick for 20 minutes with the solid cap on. This is only necessary when using the wick for the first time.

    • 3

      Uncap the burner and light it. Be sure there is nothing flammable above the lamp as the flame will be a tall one, maybe 4 or 5 inches.

    • 4

      Let the flame burn for two minutes. You'll notice after one minute that the flame is smaller due to the alcohol in the burner being burnt off.

    • 5

      Carefully blow out the flame and replace the vented shade; do not touch the burner as it will be very hot.

    • 6

      Allow the Lampe Berger to clean the air of an average-size home for 45 to 50 minutes.

    • 7

      Remove the vented shade and replace with the solid cap.
