What to be aware of
- Fragrance is central to the range and individual components are not fully listed
- The products add fragrance to indoor air rather than removing the source of an odor
Editor’s note
There is no non-toxic use case for Febreze. The fix for household odor is ventilation, washing fabrics, or baking soda. Not a fragrance spray.
