...which is still quite inexpensive. Oust is a product from the S.C Johnson company and this particular product won the prestigious 'Product Of The Year 2006', which is a good endorsement.

...is where my need for Oust came in. I'm quite happy to embarrass my husband and say that he is the cause of all the problems creating man sized smells! I saw the Oust mini spray advertised on the t'v, I'm not usually one for buying into advertising but normal air fresheners weren't helping make my bathroom a more pleasant place so I thought it would be worth a try. I added the minispray to my shopping list and picked it up on my next grocery trip.
... ...couldn't personally tell you how Oust works so i'll let the company do it for me-
"As Oust® Air Cleaner is sprayed, a fine mist of formulated droplets are dispersed. The dispersed droplets begin to dissolve the malodour compounds present in the air. The dissolved odour molecules then condense with one another to form larger droplets. These larger droplets, which are heavier than air particles, fall to the ground carrying the odours with them.

...on end, I plumped for Oust aerosol. ~ Price ~
Due to my bi-monthly trip to Costco I acquried a 3 pack of Oust; 2 Outdoor Scent and 1 Garden Fresh.
I can' t remember how much I paid for them in Costco but in Asda one 300ml aerosol spray is currently priced at £1.62

Advantages: Does what it says on the can Disadvantages: Fragrances
...gave us headaches, but the Oust aerosol spray remains an important part of our family life.
Why? Well, quite simply, it works. I chose it after seeing the adverts on t.v. and agreed that I would rather rid my home of the smell than just cover it up. Here's the science bit (always wanted to say that):
"Immediately after spraying, Oust® Air Sanitizer attaches to odor-causing bacteria in the air.

I'm not worried about the fragrance, it's the one I'm trying to get rid of I worry about! You don't need to spray too much, the directions advise to shake well and spray towards the centre of the room. I usually give two short blasts and let it work its magic.
The can is white with the push spray located in the lid (as are most aerosols now). The lid colour depends on the fragrance, ...

Advantages: Better than most air fresheners I've tried Disadvantages: Doesn't completely eliminate odours
...Available in 300ml aerosol cans Oust comes in 3 scents - Fresh, Garden Fresh and Citrus/Clean scent. Bright and colourful cans with an easy to use spray top with no lid to lose. Oust claims to eliminate everyday odours such as pets, smoke, cooking, bathroom etc. claiming that other air fresheners only mask these smells.

The first time I used Oust was after I had heated some mackerel in the microwave so you can imagine how bad ... ...was needed. I find Oust has quite a strong unique smell, an outdoor fresh smell, not flowery like so many other fresheners. It certainly did cover up the smell of the mackerel, making it a bit more acceptable, but I wouldn't say it eliminated it completely, although perhaps mackerel is a bit of a tough test. I do find the fragrance lingers for quite a while, again longer than most of the others I have tried.
Obviously care should always be taken ...

...sucked up by this powerful Oust smells thing. I was actually quite amazed that it worked. The doggy smell I was trying to get rid of went almost immediately, which was brilliant. The smell isn't over powering and lingers for ages afterwards, which is a novelty when you're expecting visitors.

Another bonus is that you don't need to use a massive spray ... ...one day to find an Oust shaped hole in your floor. Try explaining that one to the house insurance people!!

And it really does work. With a very smelly dog and a now clean smelling flat to be proud of, I no longer have to worry about having people coming in holding their noses.
Oust can be bought in 3 different "Flavours" (cant think of the word, but you get what I mean!) which are Floral, Outdoor and Citrus scents. Apparently they are ...

...advert breaks - Oust.
Oust is no ordinary air freshener. In fact it is not an air freshener at all - it is an odour eliminator. Oust has a unique formula which, as you should all know from the advert, doesn't mask bad smells like traditional air fresheners, it neutralises them. I bought my 250ml of Oust Outdoor Scent aerosol from Wilko for about £1.25. It is quite pricey compared to standard air fresheners but when compared to other "odour eliminating" ... ...spray. In the Oust range there is also Garden Fresh (pink lid) and Fragrance Free (white lid). The can has a small countryside picture to match each fragrance with "Oust" written in bold blue print.

The mini spray will cost you around £2.84 and the plug-in will cost around £5.19 (refill £3.79). I ...

...I tend to spray the Oust on to these and just generally round the house as I walk about. It does leave the house very fresh smelling, but without a distinctly overpowering floral smell, reminiscent of a lot of air fresheners.
The spray is easy to use, and comes out as a fine mist rather than a thick spray, so I don't feel as though it is lying in clumps on the carpet and other flat surfaces. I have got to the end of this can, and am ready to buy ... ...it is that it does spray right to the end. These are easy to pick up in Savers shops and for a very effective odour neutraliser which will leave your house and shoes sweet smelling, it really is cost effective and useful.

Advantages: Clean and fresh odour that lasts! Disadvantages: Can be pricier than similar products.
OUST 3- IN -1 ODOUR ELIMINATOR, is the "new kid on the block" of the now extensive range of Oust products.
I have to be honest though, that whilst I had heard of the range of products I hadn't actually tried them for myself. I was encouraged to do so last week as I was doing my shopping and saw that it was on special offer at less than £1.50 for a 400ml tin, I thought I would give it a try.....

(3) Soft surfaces.
THE FRAGRANCE:-
"OUTDOOR SCENT"
This does not have an overpowering aroma you can sometimes find in other air freshening product. I found the scent quite light and airy with a subtle lingering fragrance.

Advantages: Cheap. Disadvantages: Smells, chemicals, made me cough.
We bought some Oust a fair few months back (in a £ shop!) and have only just finished the can, which prompted me to review it.
This particular scent I am reviewing is 'Citrus scent', which means it has a yellow top. It does come in other 'fragrances'.
What is it?
An odour eliminator.....really? Not just any odour eliminator mind, it ws voted product of the year in 2006 in a consumer survey of product innovation, using a survey of 12,338 people. ... ...an impressive number......and I have to say, they (SC Johnson) are somewhat misleading.......12,338 did not vote for this product, there is a complex route through to finals etc. So whilst the statement is not a lie, it is wrong, in my opinion to mislead folk!!
Anyway, it claims to 'neutralise' bad odour not just 'mask' it. It has a 'special formula', which, as the ingredients are not listed on the can, remains 'special'......and I thought by law ...

The simple answer to this is yes, I noticed thar after use the usual pet smells and other usual odours around the flat had disappeared.
