Does this stuff keep you dry as well as deodorize, or is it purely for reducing odor?

It actually keeps you pretty dry. Most natural deodorants don't. Others just attempt to reduce odor, and what I've found is that they usually fail at even that after a workout or being outside in a Southern summer. I stumbled across Schmidt's in a quest for something more, and I can't imagine ever switching back to anything else. I can't say I NEVER sweat under my arms; but I can say it's rare, and when I do, there is no odor. This stuff works all day. If you are just now switching to a natural deodorant from an antiperspirant, it may take a few weeks for your body to detox, regardless of what you use, but if you're already using natural deodorant, this will be your favorite!!

Yes quite dry! Much more so than other natural deodorants. I agree with everything in Andrea's answer.

Hi Saskia! We don't use aluminum which blocks the pores to prevent the body's healthy process of sweating--this meansSchmidt's technically isn't an antiperspirant. However, our formula does contain natural plant powders toabsorb wetness, so even though Schmidt's doesn't prevent you from sweating, it will still help keep you dry.

I am in agreement with other reviewers on this question. I would absolutely NOT use this to spray in the air as a deodorizer.

After drying there is no odor or stickiness. The product has no negatives that I am aware of

It helps with all smells when mixed with litter. I have a litter box close to my living area & ordered this product just for the purpose of smell problems.

Personally do not use the drying fan or deodorizer. In fact never tried the deodorizer. I think it might be good for guests' piece of mind perhaps but ours isn't used by guests. I think for the dryer you have to want to spend a bit of time sitting there which I don't. Could be a nice feature for those that like it.

Not sure what you mean, since "deodorized" refers to something that USED TO BE smelly. If you're asking whether it smells... I actually took a huge whiff just now... and I can barely smell.... SOMEthing. Whatever it is, it's definitely not unpleasant. Again, I had to try very hard to smell anything.

My kids and husband love the drying fan. I don't think it is necessary but at the same time you get pretty wet with the jet so it is nice to have that option. I LOVE the deodorizer. It makes a difference.

When you put it on, there's a strong smell but put Bengay at 10 I would say this is more of a five and it does dissipate much quicker. Gosh, how long to dissipate, I'm not sure, but less than an hour? To be honest, once dry, I don't notice it, so however long it takes to dry once you put it on. I don't use Biofreeze or Paloxin so I can't compare those two.

It helps, but is not a total solution. I use it in conjunction with chemical deodorizes. I Would say it helps control odors more so than eliminating them.

I am so sorry for your rat problem. I use the product outside so I am not for sure about drying out. I did have a rat die inside the wall in my bedroom and left a very bad smell. I got a product called "FRESHWAVE" Natural Odor Eliminator Crystal Gel. I had these jars all over the house. The product is a little pricy but it really works. I am very particular about smells since I have allergies but this does not bother me. TRY IT! It took about 4 days for the smell to go away. My critter catcher guy said not to use a product to cover up the odor. That only makes it worse. You can order this product "FRESHWAVE" on the internet. I bought it at Bed Bath & Beyond. Good luck!

I use it as a powder to help enhance drying following a shower -- not everywhere, but only in areas which remain more "damp", shall we say. I live in a warm, humid environment, so it is helpful.

It does not have any odor, the liner is thin. its supposed to be. It works well to keep your trunk clean and protect the interior of the trunk, personally I put my briefcase and lunch box in and out every day, groceries etc and it does a great job of keeping any moisture from spills or liquid that you may get in there also. Its a liner, liners are thin. it will keep your trunks interior looking new.

It works excellent for both. The amount of perspiration it has decrease and i don't have any problem with odor during the whole day. You have to know that the instructions mentions that you can only apply it at night. So the first days I was concern if its going to work during the whole day, but it does. So for me it the perfect buy. Hope it helps.

It has a very light scent but it doesn't linger on the clothes. It works by taking the odors out not by covering them up.

I don't think that's a good idea. "Odors Away" is a HIGHLY CONCENTRATED room deodorizer. If you were to put it on clothing, I would suspect that the scent would be overpowering. ( Remember - A few drops will deodorize an entire room! ) To deodorize clothing, mix OxyClean and liquid laundry detergent into a thin paste, and spread it on the stain or odorous area of the clothing. Let it stay there for 5 minutes, then launder as usual.

Not really non-smelly, but not over-powerful or unpleasant. I only have used it on dining tables and furniture. I'm not sure if the drying of a large section of floor would be the same. Hope this helps. Dan

Truthfully, I don't know. I suppose it would depend on how strong the smell is. We live in an old house, with a coat closet located in a combination laundry room/bathroom, so I need something to eliminate and prevent a musty odor in the closet. This deodorizer works very well for that purpose.
