Our basement is divided into four rooms. In one room I have four litter boxes and I frequent the ajacent room to do work. The odor from the litter boxes was so offensive I went in search of products to clear it up, nothing worked. Then on the radio I heard about Fresh Wave, and I figured I would give it a try,  ~ BINGO ~   I have two jars of the crystals in the room and I honestly do not smell litter box odor anymore. This is an absolute must for anyone who has cats. I also have placed jars in various rooms around the house so when people come to visit I do not have to worry about the sensitivity of people smelling pets in the house. I am going to tell everyone I know!

I used the Carpet Shake on an old dog stain on my good wool carpet. My intention was to remove any lingering orders. I was amazed when, after vacuuming, the faint discoloration caused by the stain was gone as well. I had sent the carpet out for professional cleaning and they were unsuccessful in getting the stain out. I guess it was the diatemaceous earth that you use in the Carpet Shake that was able to successfully get the stain out of the rug fibers. Hallelujah! And no chemical smell. Thanks, Fresh Wave.

I was in St. Louis, MO when I ran across a local morning show. The host was raving about the wonders of Fresh Wave. I copied down the name and website to check out when I got home to California. Always in search of new nature-based products, I was excited to try the soy candle and odor gel.

My order arrived a couple of days ago and the products were more than I expected. I'm telling my friends about Fresh Wave!!

I purchased several silk scarves at an estate sale to my dismay they smelled very musty. After using the pearl packets I was able to use the scarves. I tell all my friends and they too have started using Fresh Wave.

My 12 yo daughter misread the directions on the frozen waffles and cooked them for 5 MINUTES in the microwave on a PAPER PLATE! When she opened the microwave, a big plume of stinky waffle smoke came out. My house had smelled like burnt popcorn for 4 days when I decided to try the Fresh Wave crystal gel. I had never used it before but I was ready to try anything to get rid of the "waffle stank". I set it right on top of the microwave stand. Within 24 hours, the smell was gone. After a week, the only thing that still stinks is the inside of our microwave. Yesterday morning, I put the crystal gel container inside the microwave and I can already tell its working to absorb the odor.

Thank you Fresh Wave for riding my house of the "waffle stank"!

Our dog was sprayed in the face last night by a skunk. He didn't get on any of the furniture or carpet in the house - we carried him in and straight to the tub for a cleaning, but the house smelled horrible! I went to the store tonight & purchase 2 of the 16 oz crystal jars - 1 for upstairs & 1 for downstairs. I can't believe how much better it smelled in about an hour! I will definately recommend this product to others!

Hi, my name is Carol and I would like to share my Fresh Wave experence. Friday my son and I went to the gas station to pick up gas for the lawn mower. We put it in the back of my SUV and left. When I made a turn it turned over and the cap was not on tight and gas spilled all over the back of my SUV. I tried wiping it up but the smell was awful so I took it to a detail shop so they could shampoo the carpet and deodorize it. They were unable to get the odor out. I went home and tried several times to clean it with various cleaning supplies and still no results. Finally a friend told me she had something that would take the odor out and brought it over a few days later. We poured carpet and upholstery liquid on the carpet and then set a container of the gel in the back and I promise you the next morning the smell was gone.

I couldn't believe it but it is true. I would recommend this product to anyone that has an odor problem and I plan on using this product from now on. Thanks Fresh Wave!!

The other night my dog was sprayed by a skunk. The smell was horrible and I didn't think it would ever go away. I wasn't quite sure what to do, but then I remembered I had the Fresh Wave Multipurpose Additive. So we used it to wash our dog. The results were amazing! The smell was gone immediately! Thank you Fresh Wave!

I received your product as a gift from my niece last year and loved it! I told her I could not find it in California and she just took me to a store in Concordia, Kansas when I visited and saw the entire line. Wow, thank goodness I could order it online as I did not want to add to the weight of my suitcase. Got my order today and will put it all over my house. Thank you for such a great product!

A year ago we relocated from Crown Point, IN to Madison, IN. The home that we purchased is on a crawl space and the water table is quite high. A friend suggested that we try Fresh Wave, for the musty smell in our new home. What a product!! We use it in every closet, and in containers around the house and we never have an odor. I now buy it in the 2 gallon container and they last for 3 months. The spray is wonderful for cooking odors too!! And the carpet shake, we have a yellow lab and she's always rolling around on the carpet. I have told all my friends about your product and what a wonderful job it does.

I went downstairs to change my laundry at 7am this morning to find a nasty fish smell in my basement. When I opened the dryer the smell was a million times worse! I had to pinch my nose shut not to gag! I remembered that when I opened the washing machine the night before, I found 2 empty gel tabs that had contained Fish Oil... the kind you take for your health. I give this to my son every morning before school. Apparently, he'd forgotten to take them at breakfast, shoved them in his pocket, and never took them out.  I ran the washer with the fish oil in his pocket.

It never dawned on me that the entire load would stink like fish...and that my dryer would be ruined.  I went to the hardware store down the street to look for something to help. The gentleman recommended the Fresh Wave products, but he truly didn't know which product to recommend since he'd never heard a story quite like mine. I called the 800 number on the brochure, and was forwarded to the president of the company. This was rare! Never do you get to speak with any president of any company.  The guy was friendly, helpful and very sympathetic. Mr. Coffey recommended the liquid All Purpose Additive for the dryer. I thought that if I soaked a rag in the solution, then ran the dryer, maybe that would help. He agreed. He also recommended the Odor Neutralizing Crystals to get the smell out of my basement. It is now 6 hours later. My basement smells great, and I don't have to spend $500 on a new dryer! I did have to soak the rag in the solution 3 times, and run the dryer 3 times, but that is certainly cheaper than a new dryer. As for the clothing that smelled, I ran another load, adding a bunch of the All Purpose Additive, and the clothes are FISH ODOR FREE! I will tell everyone about this product, it's truly incredible!

When I first purchased your product, I was a little disappointed, because I didn't smell anything when I got home that night (after setting out the jar that morning). I had thought that coming in from outside would be a good test of how well it worked. Then I realized I was looking at Fresh Wave the wrong way. It wasn't covering up the odors, it was eliminating them!! No wonder I didn't smell anything! I have been telling everyone I know about this product, especially those with pets. And I know that several of my friends have already tried this product and they are pleased as well. Better ramp up production!

I heard about Fresh Wave on the radio and it sounded so good I decided to try it. I bought the gel, spray and pearl packs. The gel was for the basement where we have a toy room and guinea pigs. It has definitely helped! I have gone crazy with the pearl packs - they are in almost every room of the house! The best spots I have found are in the shoe basket (filled with tennis shoes and cleats)in the mud room and in the car (I stuck one under the front seat and now my van doesn't smell like a locker room - even though it often serves as one when I am driving my two boys to and from sports practices). Thank you for a great line of products.

I love animals. After rescuing 2 dogs, 2 cats, and a ferret, my parents began worrying about our house smelling like and animal shelter. My mom tried everything; sprays, air purifiers, smelly beads, candles, plug-in scented wax melters...you get the idea. Nothing worked for more than a couple minutes. My dad found Fresh Wave crystal gel and brought it home. At first I was apprehensive. I thought it was going to fill my room with an obnoxious, overpowering scent and just cover up the smell, like everything else we tried. But the texture intrigued me, the animal-safe promise comforted me, and the cruelty-free disclaimer impressed me. I was also pleasantly surprised to learn that the USA still actually manufactures SOME things. I gave it a try. The next day I noticed something different about my bedroom/ pet hangout- it didn't smell like poop! After a couple of days I didn't even notice the smell of the gel, it just smelled... clean. Something that no amount of cleaning or useless smelly products could accomplish. You have a customer for life, because I'll never turn my back on an animal in need. Thanks for allowing my pets to stay treasured members of our family.

For years, I have had my cat boxes downstairs in the office. While I did the best I could to keep it clean and smelling fresh, there was always an odor associated with the boxes that permeated the room and trickled into the hall near the front door. In the morning, when the kids had to put on their shoes and get their coats for school - they would OFTEN gag and complain, especially if the boxes had been recently used. They would run in to get their things and bolt back out as quickly as possible to get ready in a different room. I tried baking soda, different sprays, and different oil scents until I heard the commercial for Fresh Wave on the radio. We noticed the difference IMMEDIATLY! Since putting the gel open in the room there has not been one single complaint from ANYONE. The scent in the room is so clean and fresh, I almost forget to scoop the cat boxes and clean them! The product works amazingly well at eliminating the odors, not just hiding them. We have had the gel in the room for 45 days now and absolutely COULD NOT be happier. We have recommended this product to friends and even gave a few away as gifts for the holidays! Thank you for your wonderful product and keeping my home smelling clean and fresh!

I am a believer... whether it's the litter box, our coat closet or my teenage son's bedroom, this is the miracle cure for odors. Don't let the initial "scent" scare you...it dissipates in 24 hours and all you're left with is "nothing"... no smells... and yes, that means NO bad smells. None. Zip. Amazing!

We were finally able to put our dog, Brutus to rest. I had tried EVERYTHING - carpet powder, sprays, new filters - you name it. Even though our dog has been gone for two years, he haunted us every time we vacuumed the carpet. We even moved and I still smelled him. Thanks to the vacuum pearls, I was finally able to sweep without the smell of old dog reminding me that he was no longer with us. Thank you Fresh Wave! I will not be without the Vacuum Pearls! I also use them in our small laundry room near the front door (where the litter box is) and they are just perfect. Now you don't smell the catbox when you walk in! Great product!

I'm a smoker married to a non-smoker. I bought the spray to test it in my smoking room. My husband doesn't "remind me" that I'm a smoker anymore. The smoke smell is gone and I love the fresh, clean, non-chemical scent. 

I feel safe using it everywhere; even around my pets. I loved the spray so much, I now have candles and gel. 

Thank you, thank you, thank you for a natural alternative.

Had company in town with a large dog. We went out to eat and when we came back, the dog had messed the carpet up. My husband and tried everything over the counter and the odor was awful. We stopped into the store and got some samples and we were able to get the carpet clean and smelling great again. We would recommend your product to all our family and friends.

I have been using fresh wave crystal gel for about 6 months now and I love it. My favorite place to put them is in the closets. My closets get so musty smelling, especially in areas where the shoes are. I put the gel crystals in and the smell is gone. This is my favorite product yet!
