Environmental Air Sponge, 1 Lb.

In a moment of stupidity, I left a rug covering part of a floor heater in a rental unit. The next day I found the rug mostly melted and the apartment smelled, which previously had a faint cigarette smell, now had an overpowering burnt plastic smell which would make you gag while you were standing OUTSIDE. Going inside made your eyes water and you literally had to shower and change clothes to remove the smell on you. So, I started airing out the apartment and using carpet cleaner and washing all of the removable fabrics... and it still stunk to holy hell. So, I went on amazon & bought 2 of these & 2 of another brand (The Originalt Bad Air Sponge - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001SBMLAM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and opened all of them :) I scattered them around the apartment and closed all of the windows & doors and left for a few days. I used the lids to flip the sponge out of the container so more surface area was exposed. After a few days, the smell was drastically reduced, and after a week it was a very faint smell. I haven't been able to see how they have worked long term, as the apartment was rented (thankfully these worked well enough that someone wanted to live in there.. before using them, it was difficult to spend more than 30 minutes in the unit without getting nauseous). A few weeks later, a friend had a skunk get in the crawl space. She tried everything to get rid of the smell & nothing was having much of an impact on the skunk scent. I told her about these & the next time I saw her, she was amazed at how well they had worked. So, if you have a horrible smelling room or house or car.. TRY THESE!! I don't know how much time these saved me! I'm getting ready to order more of them for other rentals & realized I hadn't reviewed them yet. So I can say I would definitely order them again because I'm going to order more right after I post this :)

I initially bought the air sponge because of very strong oder (of something dead) coming from my closet. I placed two of these in my closet and within one day the smell was 10 times better. After two days the smell was gone!!! Little did I know, there was a dead mouse in the attic just above the closet. After discovering this (and removing the mouse), I took one of the air sponges and placed it in the attic. Within two days, the attic was clear too. I must admit I was skeptical when I first bought the air sponge. However, I wanted to try everything and everything to make the smell go away. I tried the air sponge and it worked great!!!

This environmental air sponge does seem to absorb odours. I initially bought it to try to get a cigarette smoke smell out of a sofa -- but I think it was too big a task for this product. I could still smell the cigarette smoke every time I sat on the sofa, so I finally got rid of the sofa. I use the environmental air sponge now in the room where we have our cat's litter box, and it does a great job of keeping the room odour-free. My only wish is that it came with some kind of a screen on top of the package after the lid is removed. With the open container, I have to keep this up in a high spot where our cat can't get at it. A screen across the opening might prevent pets from trying to eat it.

Works well.

Does not 'absorb' odors. It emits a perfume smell, like using scented candles, which is stronger than the odor I want to get rid of. So many companies out there advertise that they can absorb odors yet they all add an obnoxious artificial scent of their own. If the technology really exists to 'absorb orders not mask them' then please do it and don't add your own scent to it. Unscented should mean UNSCENTED!

We bought this for our pantry. We just remodeled and repainted an 8 year old home and for some reason, the pantry still had an odd odor, even after new floors and paint. I suppose this product HAS gotten rid of the odor, but it has a scent to it, which normally wouldn't bother me, but it is near our food, and I don't want our food picking up that scent!

We have a dead mouse somewhere in our basement. The smell was very strong and we searched endlessly to find the dead mouse to no avail. We currently have our house on the market and will be showing the house to prospective buyers. We absolutely did not want to show the house with the smell of a dead mouse in the basement. Upon delivery of this product, which was in the afternoon, I took the lid off, placed it in the general vicinity of the smell and when I came downstairs to check this morning, the SMELL IS COMPLETELY GONE! I am shocked it worked this well! I highly recommend this product!

Don't know how some people give this stuff a bad review - have used it for years, never been disappointed. Never noticed a bad smell, just the REMOVAL of bad smells! Had a friend who was a hoarder & would get food from food banks, including meat, bread & veggies & leave it in her car until it was moldy & rotted (yuck!). When she died the family gave her car to a nephew, who thought he would have to tear out the carpet & have the seats re-upholstered to even be able to sit in it. I told them about this product - to put some in the car & let it sit for a week or 10 days closed up. They could not believe how it removed the smell - he just cleaned the carpets & seats & was good to go. Also, I had a rental house & the tenants & all their friends smoked like a chimney in the kitchen-living room area which had a cathedral ceiling of unvarnished cedar - needless to say it stunk in there. Thought it was hopeless, then I remembered Air Sponge - got some, put it in the rooms and left it every night while cleaning the other parts of the house & voila! smell gone! Sold the house for a good price almost immediately - never heard a word from anyone who showed or looked at the home.

Little benefit

Good product. Works very well. Long lasting and nice scent. Good value for money.

I am sensitive to smells of perfume and this emits a slight soapy smell. Not for me!

Turned up like water as opposed to the smaller ones I have bought which look like a sponge. When I opened it alot fell on the floor like water
