Fresh Wave Odor Eliminating Packs, 6-Pack with Pod Case, Original

it work great

Kind of strange scent, but it does a good job of covering up odor in a doggy diaper pail of wet wraps. The plastic holder is kind of flimsy and I've had it pop open a couple times and drop the scent packet into the wet diapers.

When I first took the item out of the bag, it smelled pretty strong of maybe a mix of eucalyptus and cedar. I wasn't sure if the smell would be overpowering. I put one pouch int a mini walk-in closet which has no air circulation and about 40 pairs of shoes in it. That closet was starting to smell pretty bad because of the shoes. Within hours the shoe odor completely disappeared, and I was pleasantly surprised that the air smelled fresh and the smell wasn't too strong. You can smell it, but it's fairly light and pleasant. I'm very pleased with these packs, and will be buying more soon for the other closets! Not sure how long they last, but I like the ability to attach the holder anywhere and quickly swap them out. Overall these worked way better than expected!

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.

Disappointed. The door opens too easily & lost a few packs into the trash can. Also the fragrance didn’t last more than a week. Not worth it & will need to keep searching.

Love it! I have it on automatic order

First of all the case it comes is very flimsy and doesnot lock/close properly. The sticker it comes with doesnot have good grip. It falls off evertime when i open the diaper pail to discard dirty diapers. Next thing is the orange scent is very very light and doesnot mask the dirty diaper smell. Overall its not recomemded and waste of use

Nice fragrance.

This product works great. We have used the first pack and, after several weeks, our garbage can shows no evidence of any smells. So far, the little container holding the packets with the 3M sticker is holding well.

My baby's room smelled bad from us making the rookie mistake of leaving diapers in the diaper pail for too long. After using the Fresh Wave Odor removing pack my baby's room smells normal and non-offensive. Great product. Will buy again in the future.

I love Fresh Wave, the scent is not overpowering at all and is natural and safe. I am on the second bottle of the room spray, and just received the pods and pod holder. The holder is what stands out, it can be discretely mounted with their tape. I highly recommend their products, and the original scent is my preference

I found these a little disappointing. I was hoping for something with a stronger scent....I would look for something else next time.
