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

Used in a small 2 door car with a hatchback door. Its the WORK CAR It smells like oil and shoes and old closet and the occasional stale old food that gets left behind from a forgotten lunch bag. Even tho we always cleaned the car and used many car vent deodorizer and even a carbon air filter spray, and attaching deoderant to the carbon air filters and even spraying the fabric in the cars and wiping the surfaces the car stank. ***we cleaned the car as usual, but removed all the old used up air freshener and added this item in the back seat and threw 1 small ball of baking soda in one of the cup holders in the front the arm and hammer shoe deoderant orange balls) ***The next day, the car smelled CLEAN!!!!!!!! not like fragrance. But clean, like nothing!!! No oil no shoe, no food smell!!! I was sooooo happy!!!! ***one way we prepared the gel container was to only puncture holes in the seal that made the container *closed/seal ** we simply made 5 holes and screwed the plastic lid back on, as the screw lid already has pre made holes **we were hoping this would make the gel last longer, and not dry up or release too much at the same time. **so far so good. I will be buying this gel forever as it removed odor, and i guess the lil orange baking soda ball from arm and hammer gave the car a lil fragrance. **but as long as that car doesnt smell like oil food or shoes, I think it amazing

This was super easy to use, just popped it into the pantry where our trash can is unfortunately but it helps keep the trash smell down and it last a good while! It has a nice fresh smell and just adds a nice boost of freshness. I have a second one in our dogs room and it helps get rid of that stinky dog smell lol!!

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.

Not sure how good this is for strong problems. We had what we assume to be a dead rodent in an unreachable place in attic or wall and the closet under attic had a foul smell (handyman emptied closet & inspected attic, couldnt find it) and this product did not really have an affect on the odor. So then I put a bowl of unused coffee grounds in the closet, along with about a cup of baking soda based arm n hammer cat litter box deodorizer, and the smell was all gone in 24 hours. Since I cannot return it I will just leave it in there, but the coffee is what absorbed & got rid of the smell. This product had no scent as far as I could tell. Might be ok for other issues, but not something like this.

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.

I love these gel odor eliminators. They’re small enough to blend into a room without being distracting, which I really appreciate. They work well and noticeably reduce odors rather than just masking them. You can definitely tell when it’s time to replace them because the difference is obvious. Mine lasted a little longer than the stated 45 days, though I don’t think that’s typical. Overall, they’re effective, low-maintenance, and a great fragrance-free option.

Starting working almost immediately!! Put them in our entryway coat/shoe closet, which is also where we keep the dog food containers (gotta do what you gotta do)- and it cleared the odor within 5 minutes. So excited, Hopefully this lasts a while!

Lasts three months in a small bathroom. More effective than the bamboo charcoal pillows I was using. Unfortunately not zero waste but easily and quickly eliminates odors.
