SMELLS BEGONE 1-Gallon Odor Absorber Gel - Air Freshener & Odor Eliminator for Homes, Garages & Commercial Buildings - Industrial Size - Fresh Cotton Scent

We purchased the SMELLS BEGONE for our garage area and are absolutely satisfied...We will add it to our subscriptions. The smell is welcoming and pleasant when we enter the garage.

I don't write many reviews but WOW! I have a 1300 sq foot shop with old trucks and gas cans that always smells like fumes, one of these knocked out the smell and has kept it alway for a month and it's still going! Very happy with this purchase.

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.

I bought a HUGE container of this when I moved into the new house for the Kitchen and a small one for the bathroom. The first two days it worked great! And then it didn't work at all. Product dried up completely. Will never buy anything from this company again.

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.

So I foster animals and right now there’s 4 dogs and 4 cats in my house. I honestly wasn’t sure if these really worked because I never smelled the scent unless sticking my nose right up to it but let me tell you the past few weeks it’s been smelling awfully doggy in the house despite my constant cleaning, washing dog bedding, bathing brushing, and hepa filters on. Then I thought hmmm let me check the for absorber and sure enough it was shriveled down to this piece so I took it out of tub and placed it on lid. I ordered 2 smaller ones this time to place one in each side if living room and see how that works. This lasted 90 days.

Had a bad smell in the basement.. not anymore!! Product does work and I am pleased!

750 Sq ft is a lie. Works in a 3 foot radius at best, even with a fan helping with circulating air flow. Not worth the money.

Flood in basement, older farm house. Took the smell out. Bought two buckets, one for the basement and one for the main level. Smell was noticeably better with in 24 hours and about 48 hours undetectable. Would buy this product again!!!

Good

I will rewrite this review once ive had it wirking fir a while... as just set up 2 trays with about 3 tablespoon fulls in each to help neutralise pet , cigarette and nasty smells in a used vehicle which were masked when i got the vehicle.....

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

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
