Man, Febreze Can't be good for the lungs if it does this…

 My oldest daughter Betsy was on the third floor with a big ole can of Febreze™ and I suspect she was trying to hide the fact that she was partying. She sprayed that stinky assed shit on the sheets.

Then she went home to Frederick, Maryland, where Ron and I used to live for 8 years and where her dad and grandparents live.

Anyway, Alex got a hold of

There is only 1 Fabreeze that I like, it's the pet dander one and I'm not sure it's offered anymore.

It didn't smell like the old ones (and certainly not like the new horrid AIR FRESHENER version), and it did do wonders for my allergies to my dog.

The air freshener one is what Alex used to set off the alarms.

Oh, that kind is like toxic allergen in a can.

So is the 'plug into the wall' kind.

we call it instamigraine spray for a reason. it is nasty. my mom loves it, which is a reason, among many, we do not let her clean our house. i think she thinks if it stinks it cleans better. ugh. that stuff is just foul.

[cartoonmayhem]

That's what I find too. "Instamigraine" is DEFINITELY what that stuff is.

I love the original Febreze (the kind that comes in a bottle, not a can). I don't really care for any aerosol air fresheners, they all do that to me. But the liquid bottle Febreze smells really nice and isn't all toxic fog like the canned stuff.

ugh, even the bottle febreeze kills me. we bought one bottle way back when that claimed it was unscented or lightly scented, and nope, it is enough that if we open that closet it is enough to make me ill. but if my mom notices it is gone, she freaks out and buys more stinky stuff. drives me nuts.

The canned air freshener stuff is what Alex sprayed. It was frightening.

There was an original one that smelled fairly benign, now the new ones kill.

I've REALLY been getting into natural stuff, and am going to make my own. I tried Caldera, which was AMAZING and expensive, and Mrs. Meyers, which was amazing and still pricey, and then bought the essential oils and basic ingredients so I can replicate it myself. Looking forward to this!

I love the essential oils. There is a wonderful tea tree oil based air freshener I use to clean my mat. It's all natural and anybody can make it. It's great.

I hate that commerical where the real estate agent uses that stuff to "freshen" every house she shows. If somebody did that to ours, I'd be chased out in 2 seconds flat.
