Fresh WaveOriginal Odor Eliminating & Deodorizing Packs - Bag of 6 & Fresh Pod Case - Safer Odor Relief for Small Spaces, Natural Plant-Based Odor Eliminator, Odor Absorbers for Home

I put this near the cat's litter box about four hours ago and there is ZERO litter box smell. The original scent is nice and not too chemically. It's more of a natural slightly woodsy smell, which I vastly prefer over artificial floral scents. It sticks right on the wall with a command strip and the gel pack is easy to insert. I'm getting more of these - this would be great for in the garbage can and in the diaper pail.

I bought this deodorizer to use in my kitchen trash. I live in a studio so any smells really go everywhere. The tape worked for me (didn't have the same issue as other reviewers with it dropping into the trash) so it was convenient to use. I got it in the original scent and it's not a bad smell but in the beginning it was quite strong. It did dissipate after a while but fair warning. My only issue making this a 4 and not 5 star product is that this wasn't a complete deodorizer. It does a very good job of minimizing the smell so that I can't really smell much but if the trash is over 50% full there's still a bit of a trash smell. I'm not sure how powerful this would be against pet poop since I only use it for the kitchen but likely not the best solution. I'll also be looking into a room freshener to boost this deodorizer and really rid my studio of all off putting smells.

Great smell and takes care of odors

After reading the many reviews for the different products by this brand, I was excited to try a few different items. I thought the items were a little bit costly, especially for the amount of item received. But the reviews couldn't be wrong, correct?When I received the beads I did not use the included plastic holder for the little packets of scented beads. I took one package per dresser drawer, I also put one in the bottom of my bathroom. Garbage can – underneath the bag, of course – then I would put the rest of them in places around the house, where I wanted people to get a nice with of fresh air without it being overwhelming.Sadly, it was underwhelming. There was a strong fragrance, the first 72 hours as the beads were exposed to air, so that gave me a false sense of hope, after that, the smell got weaker and weaker, but it was not eliminating the odors I assumed it would. After all, this was supposed to be an item that helped eliminate odors not just cover them up. Especially when I used them in dresser drawers. Even after washing clothes used at the restaurant, there was still a restaurant smell. Even though my husband is the manager, you still bring the smell home with you. After washing everything thoroughly, I thought these little packets would help finish the job off, so he did not always smell like a restaurant . That was not the case. It smelled like I had sprayed his clothing with a strong air freshener that slowly were off, and the old smell reemerged.As for the rest of the house, it was a very similar thing, it smelled very strong the first few days, got weaker, but didn't do much else. Very similar to using an air freshener.I was not looking to eradicate, horrifically, strong odors, I was not looking for this item to do miracles, I was just hoping it would provide basic freshness and odor control of day-to-day life and living.I will give it three stars, because I like the packaging, and I believe if the advertisement is a tiny bit, more honest, and the price point was a little more realistic for what you get, this company could do better. But it looks like they do OK, even though there are reviews like mine. I'm just being honest though. I don't like spending that much money for items that from as the world and provide basically nothing.

We became cat owners in July, and a miasma arose from the (closed) garage trash can shortly thereafter. I began Seeking Answers. Experimenting with different litters helped the boxes but not the can. Putting charcoal in the bag, which worked well when the kids were in diapers, availed naught. By the end of September it smelled like a Superfund Site, and I was going through Lysol spray at alarming pace.I decided to try this Fresh Wave stuff because it's enough cheaper than a Litter Genie that I figured it was worth a shot before going that route. Boy am I glad I did.I attached it to the inside of the lid, where it has been mostly ignorable, and the difference it's made simply canNOT be exaggerated. Before it was unpleasant to be within ten feet of the can and opening it was an exercise in active gorge suppression. Now, there is a very very faint odor when the can is open, and when it's closed, very little is discernable beyond some of the Fresh Wave's own scent. It did take a couple of days to reach that point, but it's been holding steady since. I've only had it in there about ten days, so I can't yet comment on whether a packet of the stuff will last the advertised sixty days. If it falls much short of that, I'll update.Update, Day 26: I swapped in a new packet today, so it looks more like 30 days each, but given the givens, I'm well pleased.Update 01/09/23: The product is still working great, the little holder dealie ... not so much. It now pops open spontaneously within a few minutes, so I have to fasten it shut with something. I'm currently trying out a plain piece of wire. It's manageable, and this isn't a terribly expensive product so I'm willing to manage it, but it's something to be aware of.

Although the small packet has an orange scent when I put it in the container and into my toilet closet, it gives off no scent at all. Most likely I will return this

Smell is good, I believe it would work in the garbage can, but I am having the same issue some other reviewers have mentioned and the clasp on the container isn't strong enough to hold the sachet in. I have lost at least 3 so far :(

It really works! Not too strong, not weak: just right!
