Air Fresheners
Neutralize Odor On Contact
Let's face it. Life can be
smelly! Cooking those delicious down-home meals of freshly
caught fish in the summertime can leave an unpleasant odor
wafting not only in the kitchen, but also in other parts of your
home. Maybe that garlic pasta you made impressed your guests
that evening, but the odors that follow aren't so appealing.
Pets are lovable companions, but your wet dog can produce an
awful smell strong enough to make Fido persona non grata in the
house. Bathrooms are not immune to their own unpleasant smells,
when someone throws a damp towel in the laundry hamper which
begins a life, and odor of it's own.
Our cars also accumulate odors in the course of daily life.
Kid's sports equipment, family car trips with Fido, and all the
other little odds and ends that find their way into your car are
sure to leave their smelly mark.
Luckily, we don't have to go through life with a clothespin on
our noses. Air fresheners can be a godsend. Shelves, indeed
aisles of the grocery are filled with products to freshen the
air. There are a variety of fresheners to deal with odors. If
you haven't bought any lately, remembering the overwhelming and
sickeningly sweet sprays which used to be your only choice, you
need to check out what's available today. Many air fresheners
are so perfectly balanced that you can't even detect an unusual
smell. Neutralizing the odor on contact is what these guys do
best. There's one to eliminate every odor.
There are the standard and popular little dome shaped
fresheners, in various scents, some subtle and others like 'the
super odor killer' for tough jobs. Set on the windowsill or end
table, they're attractive enough to blend into your decor. There
are utilitarian spray fresheners, which can be sprayed directly
on a surface with immediate results. Best of all, spray air
fresheners can be applied to upholstered surfaces, to ensure
maximum coverage and odor-killing effect.
Candles are one of the more artful mediums in air freshener
products. Scented glass votive candle holders can be
strategically placed around the room, and no one would ever know
that it's an air freshener. Candles and cleverly shaped designer
air fresheners can even spruce up the look of the room.
Perhaps you want more fragrance than smell. The plug-in type of
air freshener emits a steady but subtle fragrance. Some smell
just like a succulent home baked dessert, like apple or pumpkin
pie,a good choice in the kitchen. Other have smells found in
nature, like Mountain Mist or Pine Forest Fresh. If you prefer a
more flowery and perfume-like smell, then try air fresheners
with real botanical ingredients like essential flower oils.
If you enjoy potpourri, little pots placed around the house are
both attractive and provide a nice fresh scent. Incense is
another alternative. For the most basic air freshener, don't
forget baking soda! This is great in the frig.
