Odor Busterz Balls Air Freshener and Odor Eliminator, 10-Piece - Deodorizer, Carpet Fresh, Odor Remover, Pet Fresh

EDIT #2: I wrote my previous edit a over a month ago, and I am once again upping my rating, this time to the full five stars. After using the first ball in my laundry closet for 60 days I replaced it, but just out of curiosity I placed the "expired" ball in a small drawer where I keep my dog's harness. I wanted to see how well it would work, and I was surprised to find that it continued masking odors for another month before I finally noticed the effect wearing off. So while A&H says to replace these every 2 months, it seems that you can safely bump it up to 3 and still get good results. That really increases the value of these things, and overall I'm just really impressed with this product. I would definitely say that these are on the same high level as other A&H products, and up to 9 months of odor elimination for $6 is a steal in my opinion. Definitely glad I stuck with these, and I can now highly recommend them. EDIT: I'm upping my rating from three stars to four. I still think that these could be stronger, and I generally expect more from A&H products. But I originally wrote this review a few weeks ago, and I've had one of these balls sitting inside of my laundry closet the entire time. It's a small closet, but it houses my dirty laundry hamper so it always smells pretty funky in there. To my surprise, I've noticed that the entirety of the closet now smells noticeably better and cleaner than it ever has before. One odor ball does a good job of masking the dirty/sweaty smells, not just near the hamper, but throughout the entire closet as well, even the very top. It doesn't neutralize the bad odors entirely or anything, but it is doing a better job than I initially gave it credit for, and I would much rather have these than not. ORIGINAL REVIEW: These do work, but I just wish they were better. Maybe my expectations were too high, since I'm a fan of A&H products. But I thought these would eliminate odor more than they actually do. They work best in really small/confined spaces (cabinets/gym bags/laundry hampers/etc) but even then, the odor elimination isn't as powerful as I hoped it would be. The bad odors still remain, though they are definitely subdued. These barely do anything in larger spaces though (closets/etc) which is very disappointing. I don't expect miracles but I did expect them to help a *little* in an extremely small apartment closet, which they don't. The balls themselves have a strong, chemical-y scent, which I personally like, but it definitely made me grimace when I first smelled it up close. But if anything, I guess I wish they were even stronger - maybe then they would do a better job of truly eliminating odors. I think these are still fine and worth the price (each ball is $2 and lasts for 2 months which is a pretty solid value) but don't expect to use them for anything larger than a duffel bag.

Oh, the intriguing adventure of tackling stubborn odors led me to discover the Arm & Hammer 10-Pack Odor Busterz Deodorizing Balls! Let me tell you, these little spheres of freshness are like tiny superheroes fighting off even the most formidable stinks in our home. Without exaggeration, these Odor Busterz balls are like magical deodorizing fairies. They possess an uncanny ability to neutralize odors in the most unexpected places. From the shoe closet where funky aromas had taken permanent residence to the depths of the fridge where food mysteriously conquers your sense of smell, these little warriors fearlessly blend into any environment. Picture this: you open your fridge, and instead of getting knocked out by a bouquet of mysterious food combinations, you're greeted by a fresh and inviting aroma. It's like having a mini spa for your nose every time you reach for the leftovers! But wait, there's more! These balls aren't just confined to the fridge. They work wonders in sports bags, pet areas, musty closets, and even my stinky gym shoes. Trust me; you wouldn't believe how much my shoes thank me every time I slip them off now. The easy-to-use design simply adds to the charm of these deodorizing balls. You just place them wherever those pesky smells have set up camp, and let the magic unfold. Plus, the balls don't take up much space, so you can practically hide them in plain sight, letting them stealthily do their deodorizing duties. Now, let's talk about the freshness duration. While these balls aren't everlasting, they manage to keep the air pleasantly fragrant for a decent amount of time. However, I must admit, they do require replacing after a while to maintain peak odor-busting power. But hey, for their affordable price, it's a small price to pay for perpetually pleasant-smelling spaces. One thing to note: these balls, though mesmerizingly effective, may not be suitable for hypersensitive noses. They emit a gentle fragrance that appeals to most, but if you're extremely sensitive to scents, you might want to go easy on the quantity and placement. All in all, the Arm & Hammer 10-Pack Odor Busterz Deodorizing Balls have become my secret weapon against unwanted odors. With their deodorizing prowess and amusingly cute appearance, they truly bring a touch of freshness to any space.

Disclaimer: No, these balls don't grant wishes, but they do bust odors effortlessly. Purchase them from an authorized seller to ensure odor-busting enchantment.

Great scent, I can fit 2 in each shoe. Good for keeping new shoes smelling clean. Only thing is not everyone likes the scent, it gives my boyfriend a headache.

This worked so quickly and effectively! I had another air freshener, but did not work even when using it for some time. This one though, immediately when placing it and coming back to it an hour later it was working! I have a dog closet, and it smells, but this took all the nasty smells within an hour! The air is fresher and cleaner! I use one in my shoe closet and the other one in the cleaning/dog closet and there is no more odor. It looks like a small little thing but it works so well! Add two to a closet that has strong smells and one in a “normal” closet and you will be so happy with it!

They weren't what I expected. Very little fragrance!

Simple, does what it says, smells good! Put one in or shoe cabinet and the next morning, the smell was gone. Same with the laundry hamper. We’ll see how it holds up after a month or so, but high hopes 🤞🏽🤞🏽.

These are great! They last well over 45 days and the scent is a nice fresh scent. I use one in the bathroom, near the litter box, and one in the kitchen. I will buy more. Arm & Hammer always makes a good product. 👍

My friend does not like heavy scents. This is acceptable because it is scentless.

This terrible thing emits a strong smell that leached into all the food in my freezer and fridge destroying them and making them inedible. I had to throw away an entire fridge of food and am still having trouble removing the smell. Threw all the stupid balls away in the trash and felt compelled to warn others against this toxic product.

My teenage son plays basketball 5-7 days a week and we use the Arm & Hammer Odor Busterz Balls in his shoes, his backpack after every practice and game, and even in his laundry bag when he travels. They absorb sweat, eliminate that dreaded "athlete smell" and leave everything feeling fresh. Yes, they may smell a little strong when you first open the package, but that fades fast and leaves a nice, fresh scent. Just give them a little shake once in a while to keep them working for you. They are the MVP! Highly recommend!

Incredibly effective for keeping enclosed spaces fresh and odor-free. Despite their compact size, they work remarkably well thanks to the trusted Arm & Hammer baking soda formula. The orange scent is clean, light, and refreshing—not overpowering—making it perfect for everyday use. I’ve used them in shoes, gym bags, closets, and even near pet areas, and the difference is noticeable almost immediately. They’re easy to place, long-lasting, and require no maintenance at all. The 6-pack offers excellent value, allowing you to freshen multiple spaces at once. This is a simple, reliable, and highly effective solution for controlling odors. If you’re looking for an effortless way to keep things smelling fresh, these are absolutely worth it. Highly recommended.

Very little scent

These things work great! I’m a medical grower and sometimes during the flower stage my grow room gives off a lot of odours, even though I have good ventilation with carbon filters. I found that leaving 4-5 of these around the room stopped almost all of the odour leak that I was getting before. I’m really impressed. I’m sure they won’t last long as they will be working overtime for me but I still find them very worth it.
