Absorbed odor, but leaves its own odor
I bought this to help absorb the terrible odor of a dead animal (probably mouse) behind a wall of a small closet after having tried everything - besides opening up the wall, which of course I wanted to avoid. Washed walls, which left a smell, too. The other reviews of this product were promising. When I had the open canister in the closet for a few days with the lid off, the original bad smell seemed to be gone. When I removed the canister, my "bad smell" was still there.<br /><br />So, I opened up the sponge per the instructions and set it on the lid in the closet. Wow, what a pungent scent! But, I thought, this should help absorb the bad smell. After a few days, the closet smelled so strongly of the sponge - which I also did not like. But, I again thought ... maybe removing the canister and leaving the door open (this closet is in a narrow entry way, so that's not easy to do all the time) will take care of it. It didn't.<br /><br />Maybe for a larger open area this would fit the bill, but for me it was a disappointment.
