So if you’ve been under a rock, or are just tuning in – I live in NYC. The city with the smallest available living space humanly possible. Then throw in a kid. Seriously, you think you have a lot of stuff? Get knocked up.
The next worst part? Kids smell. And they’re messy. Thankfully we live in a building that has garbage shoots so we can toss our tiny little garbage bags daily. Seriously – how do you do it in suburbia with garbage pickup only once a week??? I die.
So, anyways, let me just admit that sometimes the house smells, er, not so great. Especially with a boy. So I’m always looking for new ways to try and mask the smell or eliminate them without killing ourselves on fumes (remember, tiny! Even candles can be overpowering!) or chemicals. Recently we went apple picking so the house is FULL of apples and deliciousness, but I STILL smell something lurking….
Enter Fresh Wave
Fresh Wave is a line of natural odor eliminators, made with all natural ingredients. Their products use only plant oils and water to remove unwanted odors from anywhere in your home – garbage can, cooking odors, diaper pail, pet odors, laundry, mildew, smoke…anything you can imagine.
Since we have a tiny little place, we hide a mini can underneath our counter. Even though we toss the garbage everyday, the smells that cling in here are not pleasing to the nose. Now that I stuck this little guy (Fresh Wave Fresh Pod) in there, it’s changed the entire way our house smells!

This little guys keeps our entire house fresh just by masking lingering stinks coming from the tiny garbage can hidden under our counter!
P.S. Did I mention they are #AmericanMade?
Fresh Wave products are Made in the USA, using a technology that was developed for industrial odor control and is still used today all over the world. If they can get rid of odors from a waste water treatment plant they can tackle the diaper pail.
This stuff sounds amazing and HUGE bonus it is AMERICAN made! I could use some good smelling stuff in my home that has 3 boys in it. Well 2 boys and my husband but still….stinky feet are, stinky feet. 🙂
haha – boys will ALWAYS be boys 🙂
I just like to keep my house smelling fresh and clean.
it’s a constant struggle!
Between the pets and 2 boys I could really use this.
haha i can imagine – i only have the boys!
My living room is the most used room in the house so this would be the perfect place to use it.
I have two hockey bags sitting in my living room and it reeks to high heaven.
lol!
I have pets so this would be wonderful for my apartment!
I have 5 cats and three of my boys are in the 20 lb range, they can be stinky!
oh goodness you do need this!
The pets, the sports, no diapers, though!
I have 2 boys and they smell terrible. I am all for anything that gets rid of it.
i feel ya!
I could really use this in my house, I have an animal room with a litter box and could use a FreshWave 🙂
this will be great for an animal room!
With a cat and kids in the house, this sounds like a product we could definitely use here.
Hey neighbor! We could definitely use these in our Brooklyn apartment. Now that we’ve got two little ones, we make so much garbage!
haha seriously – don’t kids just cause so much more trash!? And they’re tiny!
I don’t have a disposal, so I really appreciate this type of product a lot!
The garbage cans and pets are stinking up my house.
this looks great. i have 3 pets and would be perfect for my house.
Sounds like great products. We have two cats and two dogs and could definitely use this!
I love that it gets rid of odors without putting more scents into the house! Great review!
That would be great by our diaper bin!
This is debra S answering… I would put this by the sofa in the living room where the smelly man lays. The smoker. Oh sure he smokes outside never in, but HE stinks. I’d love this by him. WHY oh WHY do you not just have simpler posting sign ins? Not only did I have to have FACEbook for some blogs, but Yahoo.. google.. now disqus? TOO MUCH too much.
Sorry Debra – Disqus is actually supposed to be easy to use based on having an account already with any of those accounts.
Definitely A need for the sometimes stinky dog we have
I know the smell of a wet dog! UGH!
great products … I entered and I hope I win!
We can use it. We have two cats and two dogs.
I sure can use it! I have 1 stinky dog and 2 cats!

It’s great for pets!
I would love to try Fresh Wave because of the two dogs and two cats that live in our home.

I need Fresh Wave in my home to counteract preteen boys and pet smells.
I need fresh wave in my home because we have two cats and a litter box.
I need Fresh Wave in my house because I have a dog and a teenage boy!!
I would love to try this as we have 2 dogs and cats and in the wintertime a lot of rain which means we dog hair smells. Also with the holidays coming up my father-in-law visits and smokes a cigar every evening!
