Febreeze's downside?
Question:I've heard that Febreeze does have antibacterial stuff in it to kill the bacteria that causes some scents, but it simply covers others and slowly wears off to loose the scent back into the air even worse than before.
I kinda doubt the legitimacy of this claim, does anyone know more about the way Febreeze works and doesn't work? Or can anyone point me to a good honest "how it works site" that includes Febreeze, or a good review? I haven't been able to find one.
Answers:
The product's active ingredient, cyclodextrin, binds or entraps various hydrophobic compounds that cause odors.[2] This mechanism of action is unlike that of ordinary air fresheners, which simply add their own scent on top of the malodorous ones. While Febreze and other products based on cyclodextrin reduce odors successfully, they are not replacements for actual cleaning or fresh air, despite popular belief.
An additional feature of all Febreze bottles is that they all come with a Good Housekeeping Promises logo, which is a limited waranty for consumers to get a refund or replacement if the product is defective.
febreeze is just chemicals, your probroly are doing more harm then good by using it. Small particals are bad to breath. And besides your just covering up oders, just like lysol does. Eventually the smell comes back.
