By Jana Serrano


Every person wishes to have a place with smells clean. Tackling bad smells can be challenging sometimes. It is during such moments that home air freshener becomes important. It is a perfect fighter of all foul smells. Air fresheners are classified under domestic consumer products used to release perfumed scents. Fresheners are used in several places including homes where they are placed in restrooms to cover up the smell.

There is a wide variety of products such as gels, potpourri, candles, plug-ins, and aerosols. Most homes have at least one type if air freshener, most likely aerosol sprays. They are a good cover for cigarette smoke, pet odors, bathroom fouls, leftover cooking smells, and bad bathroom smells. Manufacturers of these products are still coming up with new products and concepts to win customers.

Plug-ins fresheners are a type of plug in products that rely on electricity to function. Gels are made in form of scented petroleum jelly. They emit odor into immediate air once their cables are connected into electrical sockets. Any person keen on environmental or health repercussions of aerosols or plug-ins are advised to buy potpourris. Potpourris are a form of dried scented materials. Perfumed candles usually release fragrances as it melts.

Natural fresheners do not contain many ingredients. They usually contain natural emulsifiers or citrus oils. They are not aerosol. Reed diffuser is categorized under freshener products. It comes in form of a tiny bottle or vase containing perfume oils. It has a thin bamboo reed, which acts as wick to diffuse the perfume into the surrounding. They are good for application in all parts of the home.

There are two main principles that these products work on. The two are instant action and continuous action. Instant action products as suggested by the name they deliver results quickly once put into use. They are typically atomizers or aerosol sprays. Continuous action air freshening products do not fade away but rather tend to maintain their scents in the air for long. Some are fragrance free, hence meant to neutralize odors.

Every design works better in varying types of places like cabinets or drawers. Some are used in a vacuum cleaner to refresh rooms and mask odors from carpets. The market also has fabric refreshers meant for use on window treatments, chairs, carpets, sofas and carpets. Those with citrus oil formula can be used in gyms, retail shops, casinos or other places of work. Both genders find then pleasing.

There are features to consider when purchasing refreshing products. Those bought for use in business places should consider their budget, wanted scent, and purpose of perfume. It pays to go for those that last longer since they cut on expenses. Potpourris are preferred because they do not cause allergic reactions. The buyer must also have in mind the purpose of getting the fresher. It should be clear whether bought to give pleasant scent or mask odors.

In conclusion, as much as they provide several positive attributes, fresheners have some drawbacks. They range from health, finance, to environmental effects. Some contain phthalates, which may cause low sperm count and low level of testosterone. Phthalates get their way into the body via the nose or skin. Some ingredients are carcinogenic in nature. It must be understood that fresheners only cover the smell but do not address the source of the smell.
