Guest guest Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 I don't think it's bad. Now Armorall, I think that stuff stinks to high hell -- I made the mistake of using the dashboard wipes once... ick! Audrey S.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 -Donna, I so agree. If you want your car or house to have a particular aroma, purchase organic liquid scent in a non-spray bottle. A few drops of my favorite Lavender essential oil is what I use. I put mine in a small clay container especially made for it. Breathing any kind of spray household deoderant is unhealthy. Another healthy way of scenting the air is to place a container of natural herbs and spices on your wood stove or heater. Oh and by the way burning a candle is not such a good idea either. If you must,use a bee's wax unscented candle. But save it for a special occasion because any flame uses oxygen in an enclosed space.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 All of our household detergents, softeners etc, I buy without fragrances added and, if I can find them (can't always) also no colors/dyes added. Currently our house, well at least the kitchen/dining room area, is being scented by freesias I just cut and placed in there. Their fragrance can certainly fill a room. Our large rhododendron is starting to bloom and it fills the bedrooms (it is right next to them) with a marvelous fragrance when the windows are open. I make most of our candles and I only occasionally add some scent/fragrance, maybe about 2 or 3 out of 100. We don't use any spray household deodorant either. Most of the year we're able to open the windows in the daytime. December and January can be a bit too chilly but there are some nice days in even those months. Of course we live in the San Francisco Bay area and not a colder northern clime. I do occasionally burn incense.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 I like Febreeze too. Certain scents appeal to more than others. Ride with your windows down and it will air out the strong scent.

Maybe you could either open your windows for a while or open up your car after you get home for a while to air it out. Nancy C. Anyone else think this stuff smells horrible?

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 I work in the drycleaning industry,and I recently lost a job because I refused to spray that product on garments that they couldn't or didn't want to dryclean,even when the label indicated " Dryclean only " .Not only does it stink,it promotes deception..peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 I also hated the scent. Right after Febreeze hit the market, one of my boys got sick in the car. Despite repeated cleanings, the odor lingered so I tried Febreeze thinking it would simply neutralize the odor. YUCK! My car smelled like rotting lettuce for months and made me so nauseous. Repeated cleanings didn't remove that odor either. Now, I use either Ozium (available in the automobile air freshener aisle) or a spray I make from Downy and water. Ozium is great for removing odors - especially smoke and dead animal smells (we had mice one winter)- but does have a strong scent of its own. , thelilacflower wrote: > Anyone else think this stuff smells horrible?

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 This is just one of the chemicals I can't tolerate. At this moment, they're trying to do me in at the office with one of those plug in air " fresheners " . My idea of freshening the air is to open a window!

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 Omg I can't stand those plug in things either, my DX wants to burn oils and those kill me too, he must have 20 canisters of Carpet Fresh in the garage.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 I can't tolerate many chemicals at all. My husband loves Windex and I just can't handle it. My kids get so aggravated at me because I get really bad headaches when they spray Glade or any of the others, for me Febreze is just as bad as the rest. ~Tee - moonspritetopaz Wednesday, April 15, 2009 4:37 PM Re: Febreze This is just one of the chemicals I can't tolerate.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 O I hate that stuff; it gives me a terrible headache and my nose runs off my face. All those air " fresheners " & cleaners do. At the store we call that aisle the stinky aisle and DH has go fetch anything we need from there but the other day I had a nice experience. I was waiting in the natural foods section for the nice lady to bring me a case of soy milk when I noticed I'd been standing by the cleaners for 10 mins without any nose running or anything. They actually smelled good -- like real lemons and rosemary & other fresh scents. They were a Mrs Meyer's brand - pretty expensive but I will try them. Does anyone on here use them? Are they effective? We got the toilet bowl cleaner & it works well. The air freshener in the bathroom at work has an acetone base -- how healthy can that be?

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Mrs. Meyer's? I think I " ve seen that somewhere before, have to check it out. I try to avoid smelly because I have birds and their respiratory systems are so much more delicate than ours. (But I have to have a little bit of bleach in the bathroom, it just smells cleaner to me! I air it out well) I use Method (Target has it) " naked " I think is the scent -- it really has no smell at all, and I have a pretty good sense of smell. The Method cucumber scent isn't too bad. Method is not tested on animals. Audrey S.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Nice too hear the recommendation on Method, Audrey; my fred meyer has that too & it costs less than the Mrs Meyer's line. Mrs. Meyer's is not tested on animals either so that's a good thing. Peace, Diane , Audrey Snyder <AudeeBird wrote: > > Mrs. Meyer's?

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 I think it's $2.99 a bottle at Target. I use the dish soap, glass cleaner, and all-purpose cleaner. I have the wood wipes but have not tried them yet, they're supposed to be almond-scented. I don't use anything but vinegar and water or a particular brand of cleaner made for birds on my bird cages, but I use the other stuff in the same house. Audrey S.
