| CyndiA's Full Review: Febreze |
I started using Febreze spray about five years ago. A kid in class did a speech on this product and sang the praises of this freshener for fabrics and general household use. I thought perhaps she was exaggerating a tad, but I determined to give the product a try. My students are always surprised that I do follow up. Whether it’s a recipe or a recommendation on a product, I’m really likely to try the things covered in speech class. Then, I let them know I took their advice.
About a week after the speech, I was at the grocery and looked for Febreze. It was bit more expensive than some of the other fresheners, but it was only one of two on the shelf that mentioned fabrics. I tossed the spray bottle in my cart and checked out.
I didn’t know where to start. I have two boys, two birds, two dogs, a cat, and a fish. I cook from scratch all the time including good old southern dishes. I smoke (lord forgive me) and burn wood for part of our heat. You can imagine that my house is warm and homey but with some smells from time to time.
After I cleaned up a bit (uh-huh—I’m a bit anal about spraying my nice new scents over a dirty house), I spritzed the couch and the beds. Uhm. This did smell good. So, I continued to use it in the house and then bought a bottle for the car too. This comes in especially handy after Boy Scout camping trips. I can also lightly spray my clothes too if I want with the car bottle.
The boys hardly notice Febreze, and if they comment it’s to ask if I just cleaned. Most times I have but there are times I cheat and just spray. Everything smells cleaner even if I didn’t do the whole routine. I’d still rather clean first, but life goes on.
One day I used a little Febreze on my shirt before going upstairs to work. One of my students said I smelled like his Grandma. Oh. I wasn’t sure that was good so asked. He said she dried her clothes on the line and always smelled like outdoors, so it was a compliment. Good thing I asked.
I don’t want a spray that overpowers and stinks. Febreze does have a light scent, but it’s a nice clean smell—outdoorsy. It gets a thumbs up around here from the family and from students. So, I keep two bottles stocked. Since it only takes a little tap to do the job, the bottles last a long time between replacing.
Febreze spray is one of a few home products that I always keep on hand and use regularly and religiously. I’m glad my student did the speech and glad I checked out her suggestion. I get a lot of good ideas from my students, and this is one the best.
