Odor Removal: Febreeze Versus Renuzit Super Odor Neutralizer

Febreeze kicked off a new trend in odor removal products providing much more than an odor cover-up, designed to be safe for most fabrics. Several companies have since tried to duplicate the Febreeze phenomenon without much success.

For many a domestic goddess and scent-savvy bachelor, Febreeze has no equal, including the generic versions of the product.

Enter Renuzit Super Odor Neutralizer and Febreeze finally has some competition.

Renuzit products are no longer just about odor cover-up. Some of you may remember the days of scent cones that did little for odor control as they quickly evaporated into an ugly congealed and hardened glob. Renuzit has come a long way since.

Odor Removal Product Comparison
To begin, this odor removal comparison consist of Febreeze Extra Strength mist versus Renuzit Super Odor Neutralizer, fine mist spray. Both odor removal products are designed to eliminate odors in the air, on fabrics and in carpets.

Odor Removal and Application
The first thing I noticed about Renuzit Super Odor Neutralizer, besides the lovely scent, is that the fine mist provides less dampening of fabrics and better control than Febreeze. Comparing two spots on the same comforter, each sprayed with the respective product, Renuzit Super Odor Neutralizers evaporated several minutes before Febreeze did.

This alone reassures me that the product is safer for questionable fabrics and eliminates the need to substantially dampen clothes, linens, drapes, and furniture.

Scents Offered

While few products can beat Febreeze Air Effects for scent, it is not designed for comprehensive odor removal but rather to freshen the air. I have found some of the Renuzit Super Odor Neutralizer sprays provide about equal appeal.

Renuzit Super Odor Neutralizer comes in five scents, two of which I've tried, and offers a bit of something for everyone: sweet (Orchard Garden), citrus (Citrus Sunburst) and two fresh scents called After the Rain and Pure Breeze. Besides Orchard Garden I originally used the lightly floral Mountain Fresh, in a lavender bottle, but it's difficult to find if it's still in production.
