How does this smell? I need something to stop a squeaky brake pedal, so this would be used inside the passenger area of my jeep.

It smells just like regular WD-40 (kind of clean oil smell) and it would probably work just great on a squeaky brake pedal. Use a rag on the floor to keep the drips from making a mess. I can't even think of a job this stuff couldn't handle.

I have one (not sure it's the same brand) on my steering wheel, and it feels really comfortable to me. I don't hold the steering wheel in a death grip! That said, I bought this one - the Bell Automotive 22- etc. - for my sister, because she has painfully arthritic hands. She never used it - actually threw it away, because it had a terrible odor. I'm unsure if it was like formaldehyde or skunky/musky, but it was intolerable. It wasn't that expensive, so we decided she'd just throw it away. I haven't pursued another brand with Amazon or checked automotive stores.

I have had mine in the back seat cup holder since I bought my 'new' used car which had a distinct cigarette odor (subtle to most, but too much for me ~ I have nose like a bloodhound...lol) It was too good of a deal to turn down just because of the smoke smell. I am tickled pink with the results of this odor eliminator!!!!! It has not melted in the HOT East Tennessee August car and has totally rid my car of the smell....HONEST. I actually bought the second jar just so I would have one ready when the current one ran out. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.

I'm so glad you posted this! I got rid of a previous used spin bike because I couldn't stand the odor, so it's good to know that this one also has an odor.

Jason I did not use it in a room. I used it in my new to me "certified used" GMC Arcadia. There was an annoying cigarette smell and I have a nose like a hawk. I used one tablet (according to directions) and it worked like a charm!

Unfortunately it won't last long in large open spaces, if there is air flow it will wear out in minutes. Any small place like a desk, car or small room is best. It should last a few hours and a lot longer in small spaces. Some people can't ever get the smell out of cars

I don't know. It has a heavy odor that reminds me of gasoline or some such. I just tried it outside. I doubt you'd like the odor of it w/in your house but perhaps you wouldn't mind it. I'd recommend something else, however.

Not much of an odor at all. This stuff worked perfectly. Smoke smell is gone from my car.

No, as a matter of fact, it will give your car a pleasant smell, if you like citronella. The initial burst, if you're close by, may be strong. However, it goes away quickly.

I used it to take out the vibrations in the hall of new aluminum off shore boat that I bought. I never noticed a smell at all. The Fat Mat worked wonders to take out the vibration.

Sorry to disappoint you, but, it's virtually odorless. You'll have to get a Pine car air freshener to get the pine smell.

Not ideal. It is oil based and does have a strong odor. You might be able to set up exhaust fans and seal the door to the house. It takes a couple days for the smell to off gas. Once it does there is no odor. This is a great product, I highly recommend it.

I called the company and they said that it was some kind of coating that eventually wears off. So far the smell has not gone away and I think it is something in there brake pads.

Yes, it smells of licorice (thank goodness, no chemical scent). When first installed, I can smell it clearly in the living room when we keep the doors (on either side of the room) open. The scent gradually lessens with time; after perhaps a few weeks, the odor is mostly outdoors. In our experience, adults find it pleasant, but our kids do not. I personally like the scent.

At the top of the can there is a little slot to slip in a fragrance disk. If something is stinky in the can you can smell it when the top is open, but you can't smell it after the top closes.

It initially has a "plastic" smell when you first remove from package but dissipates in a few days (or less). I primarily use when driving or airplane travel (and have for years) and in fact I just loaned my spare to a friend yesterday and he wants his own. The relief (I get) is worth the temporary "smell".

I found no odor. I use it in a small camper and it works well. Just doesn't turn very far. Not worth the extra for oscillating
