Have you guys seen that Billy Mays commercial?  I’m talking about the one where he is pitching a product called “What Odor?®.”  Billy does his usual, entertaining shtick – you know, all pumped up and gung-ho, and at one point even holds up a live skunk!  I don’t know how much the man gets paid, but there better be some serious zeroes in the check if he’s messing around with real skunks.  Anyway, what’s relevant and interesting about this commercial is the product, which has obvious connections to the theme of this site. 

First, let’s talk a little about what this odor-eliminating spray claims to do.  According to For the Earth Corporation (http://www.fortheearthcorp.com/), the business behind the spray, “What Odor?®” is a non-toxic, non-hazardous, 100% biodegradable product that is safe for both children and pets.  Just a few of the odor problems that it can apparently address are:

Urine and fecal accidents (ewwwww)

Vomit

Smoke odors

Various pet smells

Diaper palls (new parents take heed!)

Restrooms

Sporting goods

You get the idea.  So, as is made abundantly clear by the diversity of odors it can eliminate, “What Odor?®” is meant to be a very versatile project.  One of the main advantages this product purports to have, in addition to its eco-friendliness, is that it actually eliminates smells instead of just masking them (as what many other products do).  I’m sure we can all appreciate this fact.  The comedian Sheng Wang once joked that he had a roommate who came up with a solution to their bathroom smell problem by applying copious amounts of fruity air fresher spray.  However, according to him, it just ended up smelling like someone had gone number two on a bowl of fruit salad.

So does “What Odor?®” live up to its hype?  Well, we’ve put it through its paces, and are happy to report that this product does indeed deliver!  This is not to say that it is THE perfect odor eliminator.  Quite frankly, who knows if one will ever be invented!  However, for a wide range of odors, “What Odor?®” is a highly effective product.  Some members of our team are pet owners, and this has been especially helpful in addressing these pet-related smells.  It also worked very well for smoke odors.

“What Odor?®” comes in a variety of sizes, and currently there is a special sale – a 32 oz bottle and a 6 oz bottle for $24.99.  For all that you can do with it, this is a very reasonable price.  Visit http://www.what-products.com/shop/ if you are interested!
