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.

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!

Anytime we buy something new (mattresses, carpets, a house!), these are the first things I buy. I am very sensitive to odors, and though I do not love the odor of the sponge, itself, it beats the alternatives. Off-gassing mattresses, furniture, carpets, construction, wood stains...all these things make it hard for me to breathe, and make me very uncomfortable. The air sponge makes pretty short work of this stuff. We just built a house that used spray insulation. The last time that was used on an addition we had built, I had to stay out of the house for a month, and had allergies for two years. Used the air sponge before moving into this house, and I have been able to stay. No allergies. No trouble breathing. We've had a lot of new furniture, mattresses and carpets come in, and the air sponge has made their off-gassing better within days (two), and unnoticeable in less than a week. For me, this is a short time. Maybe, if you're not as sensitive as I am to these things, this product will rock even harder :-) I LOVE these things. They make my home more comfortable.

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!

I just deployed these, and I'm sure they will work pretty well as others have said. They have some drawbacks though. The description on Amazon says "Doesn't cover odor but absorbs it" which to me means there is no scent. No where on Amazon or on the packaging does it mention a scent. But there IS a scent. It's nothing horrible, and we'll see how strong it is over time. But I pretty much consider this false advertising. After you open the lid, the absorbing material inside is open to the world. So if you have pets, you probably want to keep these where they can't access them. I've seen other similar products which have a lid with holes in it. There is no documentation on the packaging about how to use it. Notably, I don't know how often I should replace it.

Works well.

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

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

Little benefit

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