"I might be crazy, but someone else confirmed it for me. I felt like the smell was gone almost instantly. It could be because my cat litter is in a spare room with a hole in the door for the cats to enter. I don’t know exactly but felt like the smell was gone almost instantly."

"I had high hopes for this product because of the hype. Unfortunately, it was all hype. I have tried it in my cat room (2 pouches), even hanging 1 in the window for constant sunlight β€œrecharge”. I've tried it in the kitchen and even living room thinking maybe the cat odors were just too strong..."
