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)

This product works! I recently had a rat that died in my attic and the smell was unbearable, it was mostly in the master bathroom but the whole house smelled. I purchased the “fragrance free” 8 lbs and wow it worked. I went back and purchased the smaller ones to place all over the house! Thank you smells begone!

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.

Does not work I put this product in a small closet. No citrus smell, no absorption a giant waste of money.

Works as advertised. Has a strong commercial fragrance smell. Use 1-gallon at a time under center of house. Product last and works for a good length of time, matches what ads details about product.

It worked for a few days and then gave up. It worked real well for a few days and then just stopped working. The scent of it was pretty good and was strong. I had paint fumes and diesel fumes in the garage, this thing took care of them right away. But after a few days it stopped working.

Living in Florida, you have to worry about mold and humidity. I find this product smells wonderful and we have got the humidity down and it’s very pleasant in our apartment. We will be leaving for six months so we will be placing it in all the closets to help.

I've tried several different brands and scents in my basement which can get a musty smell. This brand, particualrly the orange scent, seems to be the best by far that I've found. Lasts for 4-5 months.
