Effective Air Oderizers ??

[James]

Does anyone have a recommendation on a good air freshner for the home? I
don't mean those little plug-ins, which are nearly worthless in my
experience.

Some time ago, I tried one of those battery operated units that use a
cannister to freshen the air every 1/2 hour or so (adjustable), but I found
they didn't last and were noisy at night.

I have also tried those small cans with wicks, that you set out around the
house, but I don't really like them. When you first put them out, they are
too powerful, and then they degrade quickly and require replacing too often.

I just thought some of you might have had good success with something that I
haven't heard of before.

Thanks for any tips !!

What stinks so much you need to use these things?

The human mind learns to ignore things like strong smells once you get used
to it, perhaps you have desensitized yourself to air fresheners. ANything
with scent will need to be replenished often. Manufacturers depend on these
things to sell more air fresheners.

To save money try growing some aromatic herbs in your garden . Rosemary
grows fast and is very powerful for example

I just bought a packet of that "volcanic rock" stuff. You put it in a return
vent and it's supposed to get rid of odor. It has no scent of it's own. I
figured when I bought it that it'd be $10 down the toilet but it appears to
be working. Maybe it's just a placebo effect.

An open window does wonders.

So true; I call this the "old lady" syndrome. I've been in close proximity
to old ladies whos perfume was so strong I almost puked, but I'm sure they
could hardly smell it anymore so they douse themselves in it.

good suggestions in this thread: open window; grow aromatic herbs

devices which put scents out only mask the odor, go to the source and stop
it there

a good electric hepa air filter unit should work if it persists (or central
air or heat unit)
