Smells very bad. Almost nausea inducing level Bad. The Eucalyptus is horrible and the Cotton Breeze scent is almost as bad.

Thank you. The cotton breeze scent is the blue label correct?

Anyone else have any thoughts on this cleaner?

The staff at work (veterinary hospital) love it, though only the eucalyptus scent. I find the eucalyptus pleasant. We all agree that the others are too strong/perfumey.

caryliss, thank you for your input. I appreciate the information.

Larisa, thank you so much for your input. I was actually thinking about getting the linen scent as well.

OdoBan is a quaternary disinfectant. Essentially the same thing as Lysol spray disinfectant. Quaternary ammonium compounds.

Be sure to read the label and do not exceed the recommended dilution. And heed the cautions.

I think of 'quats' as heavy hitters. They are disinfectants rather than 'cleaners'. I don't use them routinely and reserve their use for nasty things like cleaning up after pet poop. Spraying the patio or roof to kill algae, spraying the siding to remove mold/ mildew/ algae.

I was mistaken in my earlier post when I mentioned 'Cotton Breeze'. I actually have the Clean Linen scent, not Cotton Breeze. I don't like it because of the cloying after scent it leaves--it leaves an odor that you can almost taste, IYKWIM. So I use it mostly outdoors. Upside of the Clean Linen vs the original Eucalyptus (truly awful) is that the smell doesn't seem to linger as long.

I know the container says 'laundry' but keep in mind that detergent can render quats useless so they have to either be used to treat odors before you wash in detergent or used in the rinse cycle. They are generally used for cleaning hard surfaces; I'm a little put off about using them for soft surfaces like cloth.

"QACs are noncorrosive and are stable at in-use dilution. Their major disadvantages are that they are affected by organic soil and that they tend to cling to surfaces, so that they may be difficult to rinse off, resulting in possible taint problems."

Caryliss, thank you for your input.

ci_lantro, this is REALLY helpful information. Thank you so much for taking the time to answer. I will take a look at the link you graciously provided. Thank you again :-)

April 2025: I have multiple cats and a new addition is using the hallway as her litter box (she's scared of the established cats). Going to Home Depot, I tried "Pinalen Pine", green cap and green bottle; it's very pine-y (real pine oil); I've always liked pine cleaners, but this one is just too strong right next to the living room; next I tried "Pinalen Floral", clear bottle, translucent cap, red liquid; not bad, I can go back to it if needed; today I tried "Odoban Cotton Breeze"; also not bad, probably a little lighter in terms of scent than the "Pinalen Floral"; my main thing is Odoban supposedly is used in industrial settings/nursing homes, so I'm hoping it will deodorize (whatever chemical way it's supposed to), rather than just cover like most household cleaners. To close, I found the "Odoban Cotton Breeze" scent pleasant not overbearing (maybe along "Febreze" lines) but ... my next try will be "Odoban Eucalyptus", since kennels seem to love it. I love love love all my cats but they are hard to keep up with in terms of housecleaning.
