Looking to see if anyone had used this product or somthing similar its powder that u put a thin layer under your guinea pigs bedding and it neutralizes the smell of urine just because where I live is very warm and theres no wind to air out the room so I was hoping to try these.Screenshot_20200420-201238_Chrome.webp
 
To be honest I don't think trying to mask a smell is the solution.
Better to work out what is causing it and deal with it that way.
Are there particular parts of your cage that get smelly?
What bedding do you use?
How big is your cage and how many pigs do you have?

Maybe we can help come up with a better solution for you.
My top tip would be to have large plastic hay trays lined with newspaper and huge piles of hay. Piggies spend a lot of time in them, and so a lot of wee and poop ends up there making it easy to clean them as often as needed.

This doesnt mask the smell it limits the smell and I use fleece they are in a 3×4 I have a litter box in it that they spend hours in i change it every second day and spot clean every day just the extreme dead heat is making the cage smell bad even the same day I clean it by the end of the day after I clean it it smells
 
Perhaps consider putting some pee pads in high traffic area. It may be the whole fleece is smelling rather than just the hay tray.
 
I've given up on fleece, and now I just use newspaper with hay on top like I oriiganly did when I first had Guinea pigs. Only 2 areas get wet and I just tear that sheet out and replace every 2 days to avoid ammonia building up. I do a t twice a week full clean.

I find from what people say, that fleece only works well on bigger cages like c and c

I might change to puppy pads when this lockdown lifts. But I'm just grabbing newspaper when I deliver food to my vulnerable people
