Amazon Basics Gel Odor Eliminator, Activated Charcoal, Lavender, 17 Oz, Pack of 1

Put them in your cart now. We moved to a new to us, but old, house in December 2024. I had the house professionally cleaned before we moved in and then I did more deep cleaning as we unpacked and filled closets and such. Even after all the cleaning, there was still an old house stench that just wouldn’t go away in a couple areas of the house. I didn’t even want to put anything in the bathroom linen closet because the smell was so overpowering. It was a musty, old house smell. So, I consulted Amazon reviews and came across this product. I bought just one to try in the linen closet. After maybe a week, there was a noticeable difference. The smell was still there, but much less intense. It has been months now and the smell is completely gone. Amazing. I finally threw it away about a week ago and the smell has not returned. I thought it was a long shot to use this product to fix the smell in an entire basement, but worth a shot. The basement includes my kids’ bedroom, play room, storage room and bathroom. I was so frustrated because the smell made it feel dirty to me even though I had done everything I knew how to do to remedy it, including painting walls and having carpet professionally cleaned. I bought 6 of these-1 for each room except the large storage room which has 2. Guess what. After TWO DAYS, the smell is almost completely gone. My husband is always making fun of what I buy and rolling his eyes at my hopefulness and I made a believer out of him. He is so impressed. Also, there is no replacement scent. There is just NO SMELL now which is exactly what I wanted. I’m not a febreeze-cover-up-the-smell-with-another- overpowering-smell-kind-of-girl. I’m not being paid to say any of this and I can count the number of reviews I have written over 10 years on 1 hand. These things are just that good. Buy them now. You won’t be disappointed. I wish you could sniff my basement now.

These odor eliminators are fantastic! They do a wonderful job of absorbing the scents you don’t want in your home (cooked food, cigarette smoke, must, etc.) for a fresher, cleaner atmosphere. Despite their power, they are relatively small, making them easy to tuck behind furniture, household fixtures, and decor. I have one tucked behind my couch, and behind a bookshelf. Even tucked away they do an amazing job and are incredibly long lasting. I’ve had mine for several months and I am only just hitting the point of replacing them. This is a great long term solution to minimize foul odors and I can’t recommend it enough.

This is super easy to use just twist off the lid, pull out the seal, and twist it back on. No plugs, no sprays, no mess. It does a great job absorbing odors without releasing any fragrance into the air, which I really appreciate. I knocked off one star only because it works best in smaller spaces, but overall it’s an effective, low effort, no scent solution I’d definitely buy again.

It says "fragrance free", but it does have an odd "cleaning product" smell. It kinda reminds me of the 409 spray cleaner. Hard to tell if it actually eliminates orders. I don't notice much of a difference, other than the addition of a weird smell to the room. It's worth noticing that this isn't just activated carbon (if it is activated carbon at all). It's a gel with a bunch of ingredients, in addition to "carbon black". It's cheap enough that it's worth a try I guess; other people seem to like it.

I have 3 cats who are very potent with their smells in the litterbox. We already have an air purifier by the litterboxes, but their smells are too powerful so I got this. It works wonders! It absorbs the smells so well that the room finally smells clean, and the litterbox smells only last maybe 10 minutes, which is impressive. I have one sitting next to each litterbox, and the cats don't mess with them. With my usage, I've made it a routine to change them each time I change the cat litter. The absorbing properties lasts about a month, but not longer than that.

I do not know what magic is in this stuff but it is amazing. We adopted a very stinky shelter dog. No matter what we did the house smelled of wet stinky dog. 2 of these and all is right in the world! I got the unscented. I tucked one in each end of the house, up high and out of sight. No more dog smell. No smells at all. Now I’m putting them in each bathroom.

This Product works!! I live in an old house…with old smells. We have tried to cover the scent with other scents but then I decided to try to just eliminate the old smell. This worked immediately! I plan to buy several to keep around the house to reduce that old house smell. I couldn’t be happier with how this worked.

These are pretty efficient with odor elimination but don't have a strong cast of the actual sent. They have lasted a few months but you'll definitely want to give them the occasional shake to activate it a bit more.
