SMELLS BEGONE Air Freshener Spray - Odor Eliminator - Eliminates Odors from Smoke, Trash Cans, Pets, Cars and Boats - Fragrance Free - 12 Ounce

This stuff does what it says, and without cover-up perfume. The smell is just GONE. There's a brief, barely noticeable scent at first spray, and then it dissipates. The smell you're trying to get rid of is gone within a few minutes. Removes litter box odor, and smoke from the clothes dryer (don't ask). Works on cigarette smoke!!

Many years ago we started using Smells Begone because it has absolutely no perfume or fragrance. When first applied, it has a very slight aroma reminiscent of the air after a thunderstorm. Within a minute that pleasant smell disappears. Note that the aroma is not from added fragrances. The makers don't put anything in the product. Smells Begone actually eliminates odors. Others, even the big deal Odo Ban & Frebreeze, cover everything with perfume. It does not make sense to "eliminate" an odor by covering it with another. Smells Begone actually destroys the odor. It's very effective on musty, stale smells. So far, Smells Begone has not stained nor discolored any fabric. It does permanently darken bare wood, but not finished wood. The only odor it can't seem to kill is when a plastic container, such as food storage or trash can, absorbs strong food odor. It certainly lessens to smell to a great extent, but I suppose once an odor is absorbed by plastic it's in there for good. This week, it got a torture test: Some Sodium Molybdate was spilled on a bare plywood sub floor. Nothing we've ever tried can get that odor out. It's permanent. But... Two treatments of Smells Begone, a day apart, eliminated 100% of the odor. Even when we re-wetted the wood with water, the odor was gone. It got the smell out of concrete, too. The product is also good for plastic that is out-gassing. It seems to draw the chemicals out of the plastic. Some items need repeated application, but it certainly speeds the process considerably. So, if you like the "new car smell", don't spray Smells Begone. It'll eliminate that "aroma". For fabric, it's great. It'll even get rid of gasoline & diesel smells. One can either spray the spot or add the product to the wash water. Sometimes with fabric, I'll wash, dry and then spray the fabric with quaternary ammonia to kill bacteria. Should any odor remain, Smells Begone will get rid of it. Smells Begone is safe and effective. It's never bothered my skin or respiratory system. In the gallon size, it's well worth the price.

We've been using SmellsBeGone at home & work for years & years. Why Smells BeGone? No Perfumes! One does not need much of the product to eliminate the odor, so it's economical to use. Gallon size refills are available. At home, a gallon lasts for a few years. The magic potion removes musty odors, pet accident odors, trash container odors & even those car odors that build up over winter and present themselves in spring. For pet accidents, it eliminates the odor so well that another pet doesn't return to the spot to investigate who left the gift. If sprayed onto a surface and the surface is contaminated later with any odor that contains moisture, Smells BeGone comes back alive & returns to work. So the "residual action" of this product is very helpful for things like trash containers. For fabric, haven't encountered any for which this spray causes color problems. I'm sure they exist. On my canvass work jacket, if I go near someone's who is smoking, the jacket picks up the smell until washed. With Smell BeGone, a quick "dusting" with the spray bottle massacres the stinky smoke smell. No more walking around smelling like an ashtray. It is helpful with, believe it or not, groceries. Did you ever notice that many things purchased at a grocery store pick up the perfume that the manufacturer puts into the plastic checkout bags? The fake-flower-stink transfers to one's hands & smells up the pantry closet. A spritz of Smells Begone will destroy the smell lickety-split. There is a slight aroma when the product is first sprayed. To me, it smells like the air after a thunderstorm. This aroma leaves within minutes. The product is pretty much non-toxic. It is so benign that we don't need a MSDS or an SDS sheet at work. The warnings state that it may be "mildly irritating" if ingested or sprayed in the eyes. Bit, I'd still keep it away from kids & not spray your face. I have accidentally gotten it into my eyes and noticed nothing. Summary- After using it for years at home & work, this is my go-to product. Also note that the manufacturer, Punati, makes many specialty cleaning & deodorizing products which do their tasks with equal efficiently.

I am amazed at how well this stuff worked. I looked it up because I used the original product back in the 80's I think (or early 90's I forget) and it seemed to be a panacea for all bad smells. I bought it this time around because my wife purchased a leather purse at goodwill that had a smoker's smell to it. We tried cat litter first, but with little success (it was very pervasive). This product noticeably lightened the smoke smell (smoke is difficult to eliminate as it is a large particulate), but did not remove it entirely. I would recommend this product as it has worked better than anything else.

I bought this product specifically to freshen up items that I inherited from a family member (cigarette smoke smell, and general musty smells from being in storage). It worked like a charm, even on cardboard boxes.

Bought SMELLS BEGONE for my vehicle, which came with that lingering stale smoke smell from the previous owner. After trying a few air fresheners that just covered it up, this was the first thing that actually made a difference. I’ve used about half a bottle so far, spraying anywhere there’s fabric or carpet, and it’s helped tremendously. The odor isn’t 100% gone, but it’s at least 90% better — which is more than I expected from a spray. If you’re battling deep, stuck-in smoke smells, this stuff is worth a shot. It doesn’t just mask the odor, it really reduces.

Just what I wanted and arrived quickly.

Does the trick. It significantly reduces the smell of smoke in my brother's smoky old house. No fragrance left behind. Very impressed.

This product is moderately effective in eliminating odors. I have tried others that are more effective. I don't plan on re-ordering.
