THIS IS WHAT YOU ARE PUTTING IN YOUR LOVELY HOME FOR YOU, YOUR FAMILY, CHILDREN, AND PETS TO BREATHE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Find out about J&R Air Systems all natural hypoallergenic fragrances that not only DESTROY odors, allergens, and chemicals at the source, but last up to 8-10 hours and WILL SAVE YOU MONEY instead of constantly buying these harmful chemicals!
Febreze is classified as an air freshner, created by Proctor & Gamble. It reports to work by "trapping" odor molecules in a donut-shaped chemical.
The first thing that is really important to understand: the product DOES NOT remove odor molecules and it DOES NOT clean the item it comes into contact with.
The odor molecules are STILL THERE!!!!!! Your nose just can't perceive them because you smell the chemical product instead.
That alone should be your first warning. We know inhalation of any chemicals is dangerous, and several of its ingredients listed below are known to irritate the lungs...but this is a chemical whose entire purpose is to be inhaled!
Unfortunately there is not much data being shared on Febreze and their many products, but the Environmental Working Group (EWG) did conduct a test for the ingredients of one of their products, Febreze Air Effects.
Shockingly, P&G only disclosed THREE ingredients in this product, but the EWG...they found 87 chemicals in total!
These are some ingredients reportable from EWG in febreeze, glade, and other home aromatizing remedies including scencey, in order by the toxicity levels:
