what is the best air freshener??

[anawhatsme]

what lasts a good amount of time and adds a nice scent, but isn't too strong?
we're cleaning out our storage/rec room this weekend and i want to freshen it up.
i like fruity smells and soft smells.
no flower or strong scents.

advice?
thanks!

Me too, Coupe! I found 2 duo packs of it for next to nothing in January. I love that stuff!

I haven't found a scent I like for my Glade automatic spritzer thingies yet. I did pick one of the new Glade expressions today with a FPC, it looks like a fruity smell, hopefully it'll be good.

I LOATHE their 'linen' scent...makes me nose feel like its going to bleed.

hmmm guess i won't be getting the cranberry thing since it's seasonal.
too bad - i like cranberry scented things usually.

The Glade Expressions I got today smells yummy, its a tropical fruit scent.

I avoid artificial air fresheners. When they combine with natural ozone in the air they form formaldehyde which is an airway irritater, bad for asthma and other things. Also, can cause it after a while.

You might be surprised at how cleaning something up makes it smell way better. You can add things like crumpled up lavender, cloves and other nice smelling seeds and herbs.

I have also co-authored an article to be published on the www.lesstoxicguide.ca site about getting rid of really tough odors. If anyone wants some info from that I can send it along.

I'm sorry. I keep restraining myself from talking about how toxic Glade and Febreeze are. I will not say any more about it because I don't think most people want to hear.
