Gun Solvent Stinks! What do you use?

I was cleaning my guns in the house tonight and I hate doing this because the solvent I use really stinks everything up. Even with fans going and a screen door open, the fumes are noxious.

Are there any good bore solvents/gun cleaning solutions out there that work well but do not stink so bad?

Thanks!

Sorry. Can't help you. I love the smell of Hoppes #9. It's kind of comforting.

Edit: Some people use WD40. If you can take the smell of that, it work pretty good.

You are probably using Hoppe's #9, quite a nice smell. Break free-CLP, doesn't have as strong of a smell, and works pretty good.

My Wife is super solvent sensitive.
I use Weaponshield now. No Smell at all.
Cleaning is a breeze after the first time you use it.

There are just some smells I love. Hoppes#9 is definitely one of them... Wd40 too... DL hand cleaner.....
I tell my wife that she should take some hoppes and dab it behind her ears if she wants to get me really excited.....

I can't believe nobody mentioned MPro-7 yet. I use WS for quick cleaning and lubrication, but I like the odor-free MPro for a thorough cleaning. I can clean all day-even at the kitchen table-and not get a single death threat from the wife.
