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.

FEBREEZE, Member ChrisJanetJones

Take a can of Febreeze, air freshener, spray it into the the air (towards a light) and watch the spray/mist slowly fall to the floor, then after 10 seconds, walk over and slide your shoe across the floor. You will see a wet film of residue left by the spray. This sticky wet residue, falls onto the hard surfaces of my home, collects on the carpet and furniture. Once the Febreeze is on the carpet and furniture, I cannot get it off. On hard surfaces, like hard-wood floors, lino or tile, only scrubbing with a high quality cleaner will take it off. The Febreeze spray-can even has a warning on the label ""some hard surfaces may become damp when sprayed, avoid slips and falls"" I will never buy Febreeze and would not recommend this product.
