- Zero Odor Laundry Odor Eliminator

I've been using this stuff for years. It's a bit pricey, but it works if you follow the directions on the bottle and want to salvage your clothing. But, I've found a little hack make it work even better. Throw a couple of "Shout- brand "Color Catcher" sheets in with the wash load along with the Zero Odor. The sheets seem to help pick up any residual odor molecules that have been freed up from the material, but not neutralized. The Zero odor works on its own, of course, but using this little trick seems to make it work even better, especially with very smelly clothing.

I love this odor eliminator. It works so good and I am not allergic to it. And even though it is a little expensive I think it is worth it. If you try it once you will be hooked. (I was !)

This stuff actually works. I have two new puppies so there is A LOT of smelly laundry right now. This stuff completely got rid of the pee odor. I’m so impressed.

Updated review 5/13/25 It’s been 3 years since first trying Zero Odor and I now have most of their products! We now live on the second floor with laundry access in the basement. We have 2 large dogs, 4 cats, I work in emergency vetmed now, and my husband sweats a ton with all of his working out. I put a little squirt of this stuff in with every load and it takes care of any yucky smells every time! I have their pet and litter odor sprays now and they work great. They have a slight bleach smell that my cats are attracted to, but there have not been any adverse effects from using it! Get this- you won’t regret it! ————————— Original review: We live on a third floor walk up with shared laundry between 24 units. There are some stanky looking people in our complex so I’ve opted to launder by hand. I’ve got a good set up with a large plastic tub, laundry wand and salad spinner to save my wrists from all the wringing. This is a tedious but it works and our clothes come out nice and clean. The issue I ran into recently though was when I had a particularly stinky load to deal with that I left soaking for a day- I had all intentions of finishing it the next day but unfortunately caught the dreaded ‘rona. That bin sat for over 5 days, I wasn’t even strong enough to just dump the water. I tried soaking in vinegar, then baking soda, then oxiclean but to no avail. The moldy mildew smell lingered. I bought this with little hope but thought it was worth a shot. The bottle came in today, I wringed out the stinky oxiclean load and filled up my bin with detergent and 2oz of this Zero Odor. It’s been sitting for half an hour now and I went to test smell a sock. To my delight- the nasty, stanky, moldy smell is GONE. I’m also a server in a hibachi restaurant, and my shirts always have a mild oil/food smell even after multiple soaks and through cleaning. I checked my shirt and that hibachi smell is eliminated!! What a relief. This product is expensive for the volume but worth every penny and then some. I will always keep a bottle on hand for times like this, but will definitely avoid letting laundry sit like that again. I will recommend this product to anyone who brings up laundry.

This is great for eliminating odors from clothing. Excellent product!

This does work in my laundry. But I washed the item with this laundry cleaner it worked but I had to use a huge amount to get the odors out of my blanket. I first washed the blanket in cold water with the lowest amount of this cleaner. Used heavy duty cycle. OK dried but still smelled really bad. Ok next wash was right after the dryer stopped. Ok this time a half cup cold water and heavy duty cycle. The blanket came out a little less smelly. The final time I soaked the blanket 3 hrs with the laundry odors remover and then ran it with laundry cleaner and half the amount of laundry soap I used tide free and clear. Used cold cycle. It finally was very less smelly. The blanket was usable again. I did dry it on high heat in dryer on a very long dryer cycle. I have used this laundry cleaner other clothes that have body odor and used the smallest amount that is suggested on the bottle and it worked the first time. But I agree it is slightly expensive but it did get the odors out of my clothes so I did not have to replace clothes so I would recommend it.

I thrifted two super cute clothing items that unfortunately smelled awful upon arrival. One smelled like the previous owner had submersed it in nasty old perfume, and the other item smelled like that horrific chemical fabric softener that stays in your clothes forever. The scent was so pungent, it was giving everyone in our house a headache. I tried EVERYTHING: soaking the garments in vinegar, sprinkling with baking soda, washing with OxyClean, hanging in the sun, enclosing in a ziplock with a bunch of dry Lipton tea bags for a week. Nothing, and I mean NOT A DANG THING, would even touch the smell emanating off these clothes. As a last resort, I bought this Zero Odor laundry booster. It took two full washes (8 oz in total of Zero Odor) to remove the perfume scent out of the first garment, and three washes (12 oz of Zero Odor) to remove the cheapo chemical fabric softener scent out of the second garment. This stuff WORKS. I can now wear my thrifted clothes!

I this is the 2nd time I ordered this product. I share it with a friend who really needs it more than I do. She wears a lot of polyester clothing and it retains odors. I think it has helped keep that fabric nice a lot. I use it on my laundry too. I resist wearing polyester anything. But my laundry does come out smelling fresh, but not overwhelming like some laundry fragrances do.

Love this purchase. Makes laundry smell clean and fresh. Just add to detergent works great. Leaves washer with nice smell too. Gets odours out. Will buy again.

J'ai acheté ce produit pour enlever l'odeur de chiens sur les couvertures. Et Ben je dois dire que c'est franchement efficace. Ce produit ne masque pas les odeurs, il les fait disparaitre. Psst, il fait aussi disparaître le parfum de l'assouplisseur, alors n'en mettez pas lors de l'utilisation du produit!!
