Is there a product that any of you use to keep your closet fresh smelling?  

I have used the large disks that are supposed to absorb odors, called 'citrus magic'.  I used the pure linen scent.  It has been in the closet for a VERY LONG time and still has not disentegrated and honestly I don't think it did a great job.

I keep the carpet cleaned in the closet, and maybe I am making to big of a deal about this, just wondering if anyone of you use anythig or just don't worry about it!

I just use Little Trees. Throw one on the floor somewhere in the closet. They make many scents and last many weeks when you use them according to the instructions (don't take them completely out of their cellophane wrapper).

This one smells really nice in the closet:

I too would like to find something that would make closets smell fresh without any type of scent.  

Anything with scent is bad for anyone with allergies and/or could develop allergies to them.  My daughter's allergist does not recommend them, especially the ones that are made for car's.  They are the worst.  In my "old" age I am developing allergies for the first time, so far just the outdoor pollen and some medications.  So I am leery about trying some things.

I do use Lysol Spray, the original, and spray in my closets from time to time.

My bedroom, bathroom and closet are built on a slab and the closet gets musty smelling, so I use Arm and Hammer Moisture/Odor Elimanator. I guess it's dessicant that absorbs the moisture and collects in the bag.It has a pleasant smell, but probably doesn't work unless your closet is damp.

I never thought about keeping something permanent in my closet for a fresh/clean scent.  I do keep one of those Damp Rid containers on the floor to collect excess moisture and I spray it every once in a while with Lysol or Febreze.

I use charcoal packets in my closets, laundry room, pet areas and in my basement.  They just need to be put ourside in sunshine for about an hour to refresh.  I got them from QVC

These are all good suggestions.  I would also add cedar disks, for a natural approach.

Arm N Hammer Odor Busterz. I haven't tried them personally though.

Damp Rid really worked in my closet. The product comes in several different sizes.

Other than regular dusting and vacuuming, I try to air my closets out regularly and deal with the humidity levels.  In the past, I've used a portable dehumidifier and Damp-rid bags.  My current house has motion-activated exhaust fans in the closets, so every time you enter the closet, the fan turns on for 30 seconds or so.  I haven't lived here in winter yet, so I don't know if I'll need to deploy the dehumidifier or not.
