The Bottom Line

Febreze is a light and airy spray refresher that can be used on carpets, bedding, clothing, upholstery, rugs, and more. Febreze works well in the home or car. No matter where you find musty or smelly fabric, Febreze can eliminate the odors quickly without leaving a heavy residue of its own scent.

Guide Review - Febreze Fabric Refresher

Febreze passes the three most important test questions I use in determining if I will reuse a product.

1. Febreze is easy to use. Spray Febreze on your fabric and odors disappear.

2. Febreze works well without added side effects like overbearing smell or skin allergies. I've used Febreze in closets, on carpets, on beds and mattresses, on clothing, and in the car. Even in my family, where we have numerous skin reactions to most soaps and detergents, there were no problems with Febreze.

3.Febreze saves me time and energy. If the carpet doesn't need to be shampooed, and the upholstery isn't ready to be cleaned, Febreze can help refresh and renew without all the extra work.

febreze is toxic, Member PamelaSimpson

My dog and I have become sick from febreze from visiting a freinds house that uses this product and is the only fragrance product that is used in his house because he knows I am allergic to toxic chemicals. Fragrance is the second ingredient on this product and all of Proctor and Gamble.s scented products are toxic. They are owned by the Koch Industries where there business is petroleum and chemicals. I am not for sure what happened to my new puppy but they sprayed some fragrance in his flying container because he pooped. He has a serious respiratory problem which has been on antibiotics for over a week and I am renewing his prescription because he is not well yet. the owner wrote no chemicals or fragrance on the carrier and they ignored it. He was so stinky from fragrance I had to keep giving him a bath and the fragrance did not come off until the sixth bath I used dish soap (fragrance free). Most all fragrances are toxic except some of the real expensive perfume,cologne or essential oils. But I am talking 200.00 an ounce or so. I really get sick from downy softener comming out of my neighbors dryer vent which is 12 feet high because of the two stories and am looking for a lawyer to help me sue the Koch brothers for their products they own. I am not the only american with MCS and when in public where a half gas mask.
