SMELLS BEGONE 1-Gallon Gel Odor Eliminator – High-Capacity, Long-Lasting Odor Absorber for Large Basements, Garages, Workshops & Commercial Areas – Removes Odors with Essential Oils (Fresh Cotton)

I love this! It works better than Damrid. Placed it in my basement yesterday after receiving and when I walked in the door from work tonight, I could smell it working! Highly recommend!

I am not sure how this works but it does. We paid a professional to get a dead skunk from under our house but he never told us how long this smell would stay. We tried activated charcoal to no avail and of course Amazon reviews came in to the rescue. After several days of use the smell had dissipated and a couple weeks later it was all gone. It’s a big bucket.

I purchased this for our garage and I’m honestly impressed so far. For some context of what I was dealing with… We have an attached double-stall garage with 3 kennels inside for our St. Bernards. Since we’re usually at work all day we wanted to give our dinosaur dogs some room to move around and play with each other instead of being held up in their kennels for 9+ hrs. Our cars were kicked out of the garage and we let our pups roam around while we’re gone (we are 20-somethings with the adulting skills of a toddler so our garage is pretty empty as far as tools and lawn equipment goes). Everything is going GREAT- the pups are happy they get to stretch their legs, we’re happy because we don’t feel like neglectful dog parents, plus the added bonus of not having to worry that they’re eating a hole in the drywall of the living room (again). We really thought we had this all figured out, why didn’t everybody do this? After a week we suddenly realized why everybody didn’t do this. Turns out free roaming for 9 hours in the garage means at SOME point these pups have to use the bathroom. No biggie though, we’d go in there every night and scoop it all out and every weekend we use a heavy duty (pet friendly) cleaner and a squeegee to clean the entire garage floor so it smells nice and clean. We decided to just put the doggie dung in the backyard thinking it’ll just naturally disintegrate…after 4 days we picked up so much poop that it was no longer a “pile” but a wildlife habitat. It was then we decided we need to get a trash can specifically for this, because after a month we’d have to give this thing it’s own house number. Now that we have our make-shift doggie diaper genie, our problems are all over—right? WRONG! Now every time you get within 20 feet of our house it just smells like dog poop from the trash can. We had a sealing lid on this sucker and it still managed to overpower the OUTDOORS. Our genius idea? Put it in the garage so we can contain the smell…remember how I said our garage is attached to our house? Guess where that smell traveled to. Oh yes, our beloved abode smelled like we had a secret zoo and only fed the animals taco bell. I literally learned how to candles hoping I could overpower it, but after our cat caught her tail on fire for the 3rd time we realized my hobby was more of a fire hazard and we needed to try something else. In comes this product! I like the citrus smell and it’s not crazy overpowering. I mean if you put this in like a 5x5 room you may end up with a headache but it would still take a while. I tucked this sucker away in our garage and hoped for the best…our house no longer smells like animal IBS, even our garage doesn’t smell too bad at all. You can smell a hint of ammonia from the urine but the dung smell is totally gone! The only real con to this is the size…it clearly says it’s only 1 gallon but once you look at it you realize 1 gallon for $30 is kind of steep. But I guess they know if you’re looking for a gallon of deodorizer then you’re probably desperate. TLDR; Works great, a little small for the price, doesn’t get rid of ammonia smell entirely but impressed nonetheless.

Nice smell but dint work to absorb the smell adds a scent.

This odor eliminator worked so great in our moldy basement while we had men working on it!! It helped the odor from seeping through the floors. I highly recommend it!!

Okay, so the whole process - I purchased due to litterboxes in the basement and just some general mustiness. It's kept clean down there but there were lingering odors. Opened this and put it very close to the litterboxes. After a week there was no difference at all, and the gel didn't look like it was changing or absorbing anything. So I moved it actually further away and in the path of a box fan, and wow did it work! The scent was nice but not overwhelming, and you just got a sense of freshness when you went in the basement. No more bad odors at all. BUT - then it only lasted 3 more weeks. It's completely done now and it's only been 35 days since I ordered it. For the price this definitely isn't good. I may actually order another one and see if I can't split the difference between still air and a breeze. I'll update if it works. ***UPDATE*** I ended up ordering 3 more on Amazon and then 2 more from another store, thinking it could just be the supplier here. It's the product unfortunately. There is just no consistency, they lasted anywhere from 2 weeks to 5 weeks before they completely shriveled up. Absolutely never came near a 90 day mark. A couple absorbed odor with no scent, a couple were overwhelmingly scented and just seemed to mask odors. Guess it depends on where they were in the production batch. I ended up purchasing an ozone generator that I use a couple of times a month which has more consistent results and just made more financial sense after spending over 200 on these.

I buy this size and replace the deodorizer in smaller containers to spread the odor control into different rooms. It lasts up to 30 days before needing to be refilled. I have loved this product for decades and was so happy to find it available it after again.I love the way it smells, not overpowering but clean.

I've bought this 3 times now and reccomend this to anyone who has problems with strong odors in small spaces.

I was expecting this to be a lot stronger. My and both my sons had to get really close before we coukd smell it. I put it in a small cupboard and it had the same effect as a typical small gel freshner. Put it in my open plan living/dining area with no effect at all. No value for money in my opinion

Used for a commercial garbage room - definitely helps with the smell.

using this product in my rental unit basement as it has a musty smell to it. Within days you can tell the product is working

Odeur de vernis très forte à l'intérieur du garage . Après 4 jours ça avait beaucoup diminué et au bout de 1 semaine il ne restait plus d'odeur.

Not what I expected. Extremely strong smell, Almost worst than the odor I am trying to get rid of. I spilled an entire bottle of Goo Gone in my storage room. the smell is almost toxic. I cleaned with every remedy I could find online. This product did not help at all. I had to toss it. Very disappointed. It would be nice to offer something scent free to eliminate unwanted odors. not a stronger odor to mask what you want to eliminate.
