Febreeze

Living in a box room, in a flat full of Sporty boys at University has its downsides. The smells for instance - the toilets stink and they leave their dirty, muddy washing everywhere (apparently they have no idea how to work a washing machine!) So in this situation my saviour comes in the form of a small blue spray bottle. WHAT IS FEBREZE? Procter and Gamble, the makers of Febreze, date back to 1837. The men behind the name - William Procter and ...
...candles and have come a long way since, making a big name for themselves with well known brands such as Pampers, Ariel, Always and Pringles. P&G describe Febreze (brought out in 1999) as a 'fabric refresher', for use when you want that little bit more freshness in your home. It can be used on rugs, clothing, bedding, curtains, sofa's, chairs and in the car to give the fabric a new lease of life and a fresh scent. HOW DOES IT WORK? Well, in Procter ...

...cost around £3.29). You use Febreeze by spraying it over the fabric you want to remove the smell from, keeping the spray several inches from the fabric, until the surface is damp. The Febreeze then soaks into the fabric, and is supposed to clean away any lingering smell as it dries, leaving a dry and fresh smelling surface behind. Now, while nothing specifically recommends this spray for smelly carpets - it is generally used on clothes, stinky shoes ...
...is actually quite impressive, as Febreeze is not intending for such industrial strength usage, yet it still worked. The smell from Febreeze is surprisingly pleasant as well, I must say. When I first used it, I rather expected a heavy, chemically type scent like you often get from air fresheners, but it is actually a much lighter smell and extremely fresh and clean. I suppose the nearest you could get to describing the smell would be if you could ...

Review of Febreeze

In today’s modern world and busy lifestyles there are a vast range of convenience products to make life easier and Febreze is just one such item. It claims to safely remove odours from various fabrics, upholstery and surroundings. I first came across this product almost 2 years and during that time have been able to thoroughly test, establish its efficiency, value for money factor for the consumer and hopefully form an opinion on the product ...
...launch back in 1998, I like many other consumers was intrigued by its claims that it can remove lingering odours from cooking, smoke, pets, or musty smells from clothes, sofas, carpet and so on. I was curious whether this new product would actually work? In a short answer, yes it works! I was curious about what it contains, how it acts and had many other questions. As one can imagine since the last 2 years there are other products on the market that ...

Review of Febreeze

My bottle of Febreze is 500ml of odour neutraliser. So if your kitchen’s nearer to your living room than you might like, or if you love your dog/cat/lizard but can’t stand the stink they trail around the house, then Febreze is for you. I’ve seen the 500ml bottle retail from between 99p to £2.79 so shop around and don’t ever buy anything other than fags and the paper from Dillons the extortionate newsagent. On the back of the ...
...actual written instructions, so don’t use Febreze on silk, suede or leather but definitely use on checked rugs, ladies blouses, curtains, car seats and old fashioned 3 seater sofas. Also, keep out of the reach of children- where Febreze wil metamorophose into a square on a high shelf- spray 30cm away from the fabric, and it turns out that the pic of a tap under a big eye means 'If it gets in your eyes, wash with cold water'. Duuh... Febreze ...

Review of Febreeze

~~~~Why I bought this~~~~ I am a big advocate of trying to discover what is causing the odour and cleaning it or getting rid of it to solve the problem. This is not always practical, or even possible in some cases. My first experience with Febreze came when we moved into rented accommodation. We were not allowed to paint, and the bedrooms and lounge had been freshly wallpapered anyway. Unfortunately, someone who lived there previously had smoked ...
...the still nice to look at carpets causing that familiar smoke odour. I put Neutradol on the carpet to no avail. We then shampooed several times and while the water came up less pitch black each time, it was obvious there was no WAY we were going to get all of the smell and its cause out. Friends and neighbours commiserated over our plight, swearing only a new carpet would do. This the landlord would not do. It was then that I saw an advertisement ...

We moved house in June and it is only in the past couple of months that I have started unpacking the bags of non-essential things. These included several bin bags full of my cuddly toy collection, particularly my TY beanies. In total, I have around 375 TY products and they are valuable to me, in both monetary and sentimental value. As I unpacked one bag, I was greeted by a horribly familiar whiff of cat pee! On further examination, I discovered ...

This wasn’t really an option with these though, as the water would irreparably damage the tags and as any collector ...

...still smelled fresh. The faint Febreeze smell had gone, but there was no beer smell, no smoke smell, and definitely no hint of the spicy curry or the anal eruptions caused by it. Since then, its been used on a variety of smells - from getting rid of cat sick smells, to de-musting the winter coats, and even as an emergency freshen up of clothing before a job interview. Its coped well every time, although stronger smells need a few more sprays. I ...

It's easily available in supermarkets and in many corner shops and they've added a few other scents now, although I prefer the original - not too overpowering, not particularly floral, and rather neutral. There is one thing that may be a drawback for some people - this ...

Review of Febreeze

***The most common stenches*** Have you ever left a pub after a long night of partying and drinking, to find that your favorite coat just reeked of cigarette smoke and pub food?

Have you ever been out for a curry and felt your entire wardrobe had become a dish of chicken tikki masala? ...
...yourself unable to get rid off the smell of sweat from your gym clothes, even after several washes? Then Febreze may be the answer for you! I've been on a quest to find a good way to remove odours from clothing. Partially I want to be prepared to have a 'smell buster' in the house when I start working and when I will be wearing a suit on a daily basis that will be liable to attract one or all of the above stenches some time during my career.

Febreze has to be one of my favourite air fresheners. I love to use Febreze everywhere I can which is why I have such a strong opinion over this product. I have been using Febreze only up until recently but have used it many times since, as this is such an amazing product. What is Febreze? Febreze is much more than a poxy old air freshener as this product can be used on so many different things you find around the house. Febreze is a fabric and air ...
...What can you use Febreze on? I have used Febreze on many items such as carpet, fabric settees, car interior trim and even cloths. Basically everything you can think of which contains cloth material etc. This product is especially good at removing tobacco smells of cloths and the car interior, where smells linger. Where can you buy Febreze? Febreze can be bought in all good supermarkets and nearly all general stores. It’s worth shopping around. ...

Review of Febreeze

Febreeze antibacterial spray is an amazing product that makes any room smell gorgeous at the flick of a spray nozzle. It is great to use when you are cleaning a room or to target something that smells nasty and works straight away. Febreeze is much better than an air freshener but its use is for fabrics and it does the job perfectly. I like to use this in my house especially as the smell of cigarette smoke is disgusting especially when it has gone ...
...people to! Febreeze can be used on all sorts of things – clothes, curtains, carpets, furniture, bedding, trainers and loads more. Basically, any fabric can be sprayed, although if you are in doubt, I check the packaging recommendations first. The product claims to rid the smells of cooking, smoke, pet odour, body odour and stale smells. To be honest, it really does work on all of these, but I don’t know about body odour as I wash my ...

...of extra help. Enter Febreeze spray, a freshener for fabrics all around the home. It comes in a white plastic bottle with a blue spray nozzle at the top. It comes in three flavours, these being original, anti-bacterial and extra strength, and costs around £2.40 for 500 ml. I usually buy the extra strength, but have also used the original, and to tell the truth there's not much between them in terms of effectiveness. Febreeze is marketed as a ...
...you've sprayed, the scent of Febreeze lingers for a good few hours, settling into a very subtle 'cleanness' and 'freshness' after about the first fifteen minutes. Of course, Febreeze only masks smells and is no substitute for washing or dry-cleaning, but for those days when you're just not up to housework, or when you've got visitors coming at a moment's notice, it is a real help. Compared to lots of other air fresheners you can buy it is expensive, ...

I shall start this op at the very beginning. On Monday I decided to take our dog for a walk down the river. This is unusual for me as I usually just take him in the field behind our house. Anyway, the dog thoroughly enjoyed himself, jumping in puddles and a little paddle in the river. After around an hour I decided to head back home and what happened, the heavens opened and I got soaked and the dog was not just a little wet but a very soggy doggy. ...

I sent my oldest to the shop for an air freshner and to be double quick as ...

When I first went out and bought febreze I was very sceptical as to whether it would work or not, but I`m willing to give anything a try as my house can sometimes get a bit pongy. There are several reasons for this, firstly being that hubby is a mechanic, and with dirty oily overalls coming home every night and being thrown down on the floor in front of the washing machine, the smell of oil and grease does tend to linger. Secondly, I also have a ...

Anyone who has a bedwetting child will know that however much you wash, and no matter how many plastic sheets you have or how overboard you go with the air freshener, it is a very overpowering smell. It will just keep coming back to haunt you. So, when I bought my trusty bottle of febreze, the first thing I did was ...

Review of Febreeze

**UPDATED** Fabrese Freshener is a useful product that can freshen up a household, a car or clothes. Most people use it for furniture and do not realize that it can be used elsewhere. (It is particularly useful for shoes and trainers. Fabrese is a liquid that is sprayed onto fabric thus removing any odours and smells that can linger such as animal smells, smoke, food etc. It is very easy to apply. It leaves the fabric damp for several ...
...It works by neutralizing the chemicals that produce the odour, but it does not deep clean the fabric. The chemicals that are in fabrese will probably corrode the fabric effectively thus adding a hidden cost to the cost of fabrese (i.e. replacing the fabric). For most household smells Fabreze is very good and leaves a nice pleasant smell for several hours. It does not eliminate the smell forever but can be useful if you have visitors. ...
