Air Fresheners and Such
Febreze or? I don't like any of them; I suppose you could say my ____ don't stink!

To me...Febreeze is the worst of all of them.
I just don't like the smell of it.

I don't like them at all. I don't like scented dryer sheets either.

A looong time ago I worked for AirWick. Air "fresheners" are nothing more than masking agents. They don't freshen anything.
And forget the carpet fresheners. That perfumed powder is a dirt magnet.

A lot of the smells give me a headache. I agree with strike a match.

Counterclockwise?

I can't stand the stink from these things.
Open a window.

Interesting. I have some sort of sensory thing. No jewelry. Not a fan of wearing a tie. And I HATE scented stuff. My wife just changed out some nasty shampoo because I found it repulsive. I despise dryer sheets. And also don't care for air fresheners of any kind.
Just driving in the convertible I can smell people doing laundry with dryer sheets. Yech. I also hate to pick up a telephone with residual cologne / perfume on it. Nasty. |

I think it's what we get used too. Seemingly intelligent people just love stinky things.

Only time I use them is to combat the funk smell in my car after a fishing trip and even then I prefer the "no scent just scent killer" type stuff.

I don't like any of them. And spraying them over the top of crap doesn't, IMO, make the situation any better.

I grew up with my mom using Bounce fabric softener. I always liked that scent. Over the years, there have been several perfumes for women that I REALLY liked. But there are a lot of horrible perfumes.
I hate getting stuck in an elevator with a person (man or woman) who bathed in a scent. I have stopped to get gas, and then noticed that my hand had an almost overwhelming cologne scent because someone got a hand full of whatever and then got that all over the pump handle. It's gross.

I use Fresh Wave. it is a gel that supposedly absorbs stink. seems to work. I have an older truck that moves my dog and fishing gear around and both stink. my truck smells fine. there are moments, but I just refill the gel, and I am back in business.

No air fresheners for us. If you use it in the water closet, then you’ve got a mix of **** and flowers. You’re not fooling anybody.
What time at work, I drop the kids off at the pool and there was an air freshener in there. I gave it a decent spray. A few minutes later, I was talking to a coworker, and he asked if I used the spray! |

Does it also add a scent to the car?

i think there is an unscented version. i get one..ahh, wife buys it, i dont think ours is unscented. it is so ever so slighly kissed with scent. smells like a person in the rear seat wearing a fresh shirt. i cant smell it. i asked a friend if it was overpowering and he asked, "is what overpowering?"
if it has a smell, it is so so light. i order a big tub and refill my dispenser. they carry it at Target. if you wanted to try a small tub, for science.
