Eliminates it.

I think the original scent was a problem for many consumers. I don't know
about in Canada, but in the US they now sell it in several new scents, most
of which I find less objectionable. IIRC allergies were a problem for you.
There's a version they claim reduces allergens. I don't use it, but one of
my friends swears it works.

Hi Bill

We use OdorOut and like it better than Fabreze!

Rather than using it in the wash, we keep a tattered washrag in the
dryer that is lightly dampened with the Odor Out between each load.

In a few closets, we have 'spent' air freshener modules (the plastic
flat cylinder with the 'ink blotter' ring inside) that we rewet the
ink blotter with OdorOut about once a month.

"most yanks". Hmmmmm.
At any rate, drying clothing outdoor is not recommended for people who
suffer outdoor allergies.
Where we live, outdoor lines aren't allowed by management, but I do
get away with putting it up and taking it down each time I use it.
People living in apartments, condos and the like also cannot line dry.
Try to understand not everyone is trying to stuff up the environment!

Bit of a generalisation and it's not just yanks . Church Housing supply
washers and driers, no lines allowed. Plenty of maisonettes + flats here -
Britain - that have no lines. there again I know plenty of people that can't
be arsed to stick it on the line due to laziness.
