TLDR Review: Fresh Wave Gel 3 Pack
Pros
- •Effectively eliminates unpleasant odors such as pet smells, musty carpets, and general bad air in small to medium spaces.
- •Uses natural, clean ingredients like plant oils, making it a safer option for households.
- •The gel attracts and traps small bugs like flies, gnats, and mosquitoes, providing duaurpose odor and pest control.
- •Initially has a strong, pleasant scent (orange, lavender, or minty, depending on the version) that fades to a subtle aroma over time.
- •Works well in confined spaces like cars, bathrooms, fridges, and bedrooms.
- •Begins working quickly, often noticeable within the first day of use.
- •The scent left behind after the initial intensity is usually pleasant and not overpowering.
- •Compact gel form is easy to place and doesn't need electricity or sprays.
Cons
- •The initial scent can be quite strong but fades within a day or a few days, sometimes leaving barely any noticeable fragrance.
- •Not powerful enough to mask very strong odors in large or open areas, such as heavy cat litter smells.
- •The scent may not match the described "orange"—some users report it smells more like sprite or lemon, or it has a minty note that might bother sensitive noses.
- •Gel can be messy and tricky to clean up if spilled, and caution is needed when opening the safety seal.
- •Lasts about one to two weeks before requiring replacement, which might feel short for some users.
Bottom Line
The Fresh Wave 7 Ounce Fresh Wave Gel 3 Pack is a solid choice if you want natural odor elimination with the bonus of minor insect trapping, especially in small enclosed spaces. It’s quick to work and leaves behind a gentle, mostly pleasant fragrance, but don’t expect it to overpower strong smells in big rooms or open areas. If you want a longer-lasting or more consistently strong scent, this may not be your best bet, but for subtle, chemical-free freshness, it does the job well. If you’re specifically looking for stronger odor masking or a longer-lasting effect, you might want to explore other odor neutralizers or dedicated air fresheners.
