Advantages: easy to use, effective & well priced

Disadvantages: aerosol

As a family with pets I've noticed that sometimes our house doesn't smell as fresh as it might do so I've been using aerosol sprays for a number of years now. However, due to having pneumonia & chest infections this summer, I've tried to cut down on their usage as they made me cough so much.

A few weeks ago I decided to shampoo the hall & stairs carpet using my newish 3-in-1 & was really happy with the result but ... next day was horrified with the awful smell of damp carpet which penetrated the whole house - it was minging. It was my fault as I've not got used to using the shampooer & I'd failed to use the machine correctly for drying the carpet. I did it all again but there was still a strong smell so I used 'shake & vac' which helped. The product that worked best though was Johnson's Oust Garden Fresh.

My daughter purchased the can from one of our local pound shops & I was so pleased with the product I'll buy it again if the need arises.

The can is attractive & has a pink plastic push botton spray top which is easy to use &, to date, hasn't clogged up. I found that I only needed to use a few sprays which finally eliminated the awful pong. Although I didn't expect it to have a fragrance (it's designed to be an odour eliminator) it has a nice smell of summer flowers - not too strong & didn't make me cough - very pleasant & fresh. The smell doesn't last too long which is fine by me as it was the whiffiness I wanted to get rid of rather than masking the house with air freshener.

The can itself is a generous 300ml which should last quite some time in our home. The usual cautions & warnings are provided on the reverse of the can plus there is a rather scary list of what the product contains.

Clear directions are provided (basically just shake the can hard & spray avoiding fabrics) but what tickled me was the advice given 'remove birds before spraying' (reminded me of Hitchcock!)

summary
~
- well-priced odour eliminator spray.
