Aunt Fannie’s Carpet Refresher & Deodorizer Powder, Multi-Purpose Carpet, Rug, and Upholstery Odor Eliminator for Homes with Cats and Dogs, Lavender Scent, 16 Oz (Pack of 1)

Works surprisingly well without an overpowering perfume smell
This worked surprisingly well. I live in a rental with old, musty wall to wall carpeting that absorbs every smell of food, dogs and moisture. I have used the Dirt Devil spot remover on it too many times to count with only slight improvement. I used Aunt Fannie’s carpet refresher and almost instantly the stench went away – and I have a VERY sensitive nose, so that is saying a lot. The fragrance didn’t stick around for too long, which I actually prefer, since strong smells give me a headache. Now it just smells like nothing. Even if the smell comes back, I’ll be happy that I can just use the refresher again.

Removes Smell – No Lavender Smell for Long
I bought a 100% wool rug and it just stank (as they do) and I let it air out for a couple weeks hoping the smell would go away and it never did. Every time I’d walk through the door I’d be hit with the musty smell of my rug and it was making me annoyed coming home to that.This product did help remove the smell from the wool rug. I sprinkled it all over, there’s a little more than half the bottle left from an 8’ round rug. I left it over night and vacuumed when I got home from work the next day. When I first sprinkled it, the lavender smell was pretty strong and I was honestly worried it was going to stay like that. When I woke up the next morning, I couldn’t smell it at all. When I got home from work I still couldn’t smell it. I vacuumed it up and the powder came up well on the “low floor” setting on my cheap vacuum. It didn’t come up much with the thick carpet setting.I laid on the rug (I am a no house, lay on the floor in the living room sometimes kinda gal) to see if a) there were left over residue and b) if it smelled still. It did a fantastic job at removing smell, my nose literally has to be touching the carpet to smell any kind of wool must which is natural anyways for a new wool rug. And there was no residue (I’m brown and I wear all black most of the time, I would have noticed)My biggest complaint is that the bottle didn’t leak necessarily but there was definitely powder getting on the sink when I was removing the seal and what not. I didn’t care about the lasting lavender smell because that wasn’t my goal but if you’re looking for a scent that stays, this isn’t it. If you’re just trying to remove musty rug smell, this is great.

Good Smell – Not Long Lasting
I think I like this product more for it’s placebo effects than it’s actual usage. I enjoy the feeling of sprinkling this all over my rugs and couch and getting a nice whiff of lavender and getting the false idea that this is beneficial to my space.In reality, the smell doesn’t linger past the initial sprinkling. It can also be harder to vacuum up on certain fabrics – I have a velvet couch and find that I usually need to go over it a few times to really vacuum up all the powder.I’ll continue to use this product, but we’ll likely look elsewhere when I need to repurchase as I think the biggest benefit to this product would be the staying power of the scent and this product falls flat in that area.

It works
Yes I love it great for dogs and smells good

Nice scent. It does the job when you need to freshen up your rugs. Doesn’t last very long, I used a whole container for several large rugs, which was useful for one cleaning vacuuming. I have 2 large dogs who are always lying on my rugs. I wish I didn’t have to use a whole container at a time.

It’s smelled nice once sprinkled but didn’t really smell after vacuumed. My husband has allergies and for some reason his allergies went into overdrive after I used this on the carpets.

Smells nice and fresh
