I need to eliminate, or at least mask, household odors ASAP. Are the typical sprays you find at supermarkets or drugstores (i.e. Lysol) any good, or is there something better? Thanks!

A truly remarkable combination of username and OP with bonus points for a first response from **spooje**!

I recommend marijuana. The stuff reeks and will easily overwhelm any other scent in the room.

Seriously though, Febreze is good. The spray bottles or the candles are both pretty effective.
