Arm & Hammer OdorBusterz® Odor Eliminator Balls, Clean Burst, 3 Count – Baking Soda Odor Control for Closets, Drawers, Hampers & Small Spaces

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.

Loved these! I don't know that adhesiveness plays a roll with these as you just set them somewhere. There are different scents depending on where you need to use them and they do emit a nice aroma that is not over powering, yet effective. They are very small, I was expecting something a little bigger, but they can be tucked behind something and not a bulky thing at all.

These are actually great but, they are way too small, especially if you want to put them in a closet. The scent is subtle, which is great. I used them in multiple places, one being my hall (small) closet that has my coats, dog jackets, vacuum, mop, broom and reusable shopping bags. Unfortunately my vacuum has a little per odor (need to wash the filters and on top of all the other items, one little ball was not helping. I added 2 more and that really helped. I suspect, because of the small size of the packet of baking soda, they will not last long. In their defense, because I haven't looked, there may be a larger size. Also, I had to use my own adhesive...double sided tape, to make sure they stay.

These freshen up even the smelliest sports bags or shoes. I love to keep on in my travels bags and sock drawer. Great product! Worth the money.

Even with using both balls the smell doesn’t last very long but while it does it is very nice so giving it a 3 out of 5 since I did exactly what I expected.

I used this in my car to remove the odor. My kids made a mess and didn't want to get into the car once the smell started to spread. It worked great. I thought it's without scent but it has a very refreshing discrete scent which I loved. The balls are small and perfectly fit in the doors of my car. Will definitely order again.

I put these in my storage bins of extra clothes and blankets to avoid the musty old smell that things can get from being stored. These work great and I no longer get that smell

Purchased to place in the garbage pull out drawer. The Pine scent didn't seem to last very long.

Excellent odor eliminator .. excellent for small spaces. You pay more for the brand name can you do the product because the project is very small.

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
