Zero Odor multi-purpose odor eliminator 22 oz - for smells that settle into fabric
Zero Odor is a ready-to-use 22 oz spray. It doesn't cover smells with perfume. The company says its "Molecular Conversion" formula bonds with odor molecules and turns them into molecules that don't smell. It leaves no lasting fragrance, contains no bleach, and the listing describes it as non-allergenic and non-irritating.
Where it helps after cooking
Cooking smell that hangs around the next day is usually sitting in soft things: curtains, seat cushions, dish towels, the rug by the stove. You can wipe down hard surfaces with a normal cleaner, but you can't wipe a curtain. That's where Zero Odor fits. Spray it directly onto the fabric that holds the smell, or mist it into the room.
It's a good match for fish smell, which tends to cling to fabric in rooms next to the kitchen. The listing also mentions smoke, mildew and musty smells, including ones that have settled into carpet and drywall.
What it won't do
It won't stop the next round of cooking smell. If the range hood isn't pulling fumes out, you'll be spraying the same curtains every week. Check the hood first with our range hood troubleshooting guide.
It also only works where you spray. Anything you miss keeps smelling.
Who it's for
People with smell that lingers into the next day, people who don't want a scented product, and anyone with a sensitive nose who reacts to air fresheners.
Who should skip it
If you want something working in the background with no effort, a spray isn't it. You have to remember to use it. And if you like the house to smell of something, a scented product will suit you better.
How it compares
Fresh Wave gel is the hands-off option: a jar that sits on the counter for 30 to 60 days. It has a plant-oil scent, though, and it can't reach smell that's already in fabric.
A Moso Natural charcoal bag is unscented and reusable for about two years, but slow. The two don't compete much. Spray after a heavy cooking night and let the charcoal handle the background.
It has 4.2 stars from more than 31,000 Amazon reviews. Our charcoal bags vs odor sprays vs plug-ins comparison explains when each type makes sense, and the best kitchen odor eliminators guide has the full list.
