The real focus of this discussion shouldn't be about whether fabreeze is a
poor substitute for actually cleaning. The real focus should be to try and

I was wondering--exactly how would someone clean that football
uniform's shoulder pads/helmet/etc.? Or do most moms and players
leave them out to air between games or something...? :)

I can smell it on your clothes when you wear them (assuming you don't
wear some stronger brand of stench)

i seriously doubt you can smell it on my clothes. we're probably
not even in the same city, you demented lump of flea-bitten sinus
drainage.

Not with that arsenal of cologne you pour on.
David RL Gärtner, RMT...

that's exactly what i was expecting from you. this isn't fun
anymore. you're no challenge. buh-bye.

I can smell dryer sheets on your clothes. When there's no other smell
to conflict with them, and they don't smell exactly like laundry
"fragrance," dryer sheets frequently smell like a candy I used to eat
called Sweet Tarts.

Me neither. I thought this board was about celebrating the good commercials
out there and not so much about knocking the particular product that's being
advertised.

I would love to celebrate good, clever, commercials, but I live in the

It's called soap, water and a sponge. If something has an odor, you
clean it- you don't spray something on it and pretend it's clean so you
can go watch Oprah "empower" you.

Actually, spritzing with a very dilute bleach/water solution might
help.
Or if bleach would bother you, use vinegar or (I have heard) peroxide.
John Baker...

Thanks for the suggestions; bleach or vinegar would be horrific but
perhaps peroxide would fade quickly enough that we'd be able to use the
car again the next day... maybe. OTOH Febreze is practically
instantaneous; y'all who were criticizing it do know it does more than
just mask the odors, right? It actually neutralizes them exactly as the
vinegar or peroxide would. Except without the vinegar or peroxide smell.
And after 24 hours or so, the Febreze smell fades away too.

You can make your own, cheaper and without the smell. Mix cheap vodka &
water about half and half in a spray bottle.. that's it. Neutralizes
odors and evaporates, and doesn't leave behind a telltale "scent".

I used some laundry spray to get ink out of a shirt once, and the smell
never went away. I would never use anything that smells again.

inform febreeze users that the stuff smells worse than rotting garbage. it
doesn't smell fresh or clean by any measure of the word...and the stench it
leaves behind lasts forever. If you go to someone's house that sprays the
stuff on their furniture, the only thoughts going through your mind are:

And isn't there something called redneck TV?
Obveeus...

Yes, but those guys want their homes to smell like oil (engine block project
in the livingroom) and beer (empty 12 pack on the coffee table). I have a
feeling that they would be much more likely to make fun of Febreeze users
than be Fabreeze users. That standup stuff they do is much better than most
standup I've seen on TV.

1. How do I get out of here?
and
2. They really need to throw this furniture away.
and
3. Why don't they just volmit all over the house it they want this odor?
It is a real shame that the truth in advertising laws have been all but done
away with in this country.

4. What were they doing to/on this furnature that made it smell so vile that
they needed to spay it in the first place?

Well, seeing as how it is the 21st century and all, perhaps we could
speak in terms of lazy homemakers--which is not gender-specific.
|
And those ads are sickening. Smelly, sweat-soaked clothes in the
closet and floor are left there, simply because they were sprayed with
a perfumed chemical & water mist.
WCJ...
|
I totally agree. It's really pretty repulsive when you think about it!
|
Only in America is this type of behavior condoned and enabled.

Created, even.
Alan Pollock...
|
Nope, it was created in France, where odorific armpits and clinging crotches
add to the general joie de vivre. A little spritz here and another spritz
there are all zat is needed to menteyn la civilisation. Nex

That product wasnt created in the USA,,theres alot offrench -spanish
wording on it.

Isn't that a NAFTA thing, for products sold in the US, Canada, and Mexico?
Unless the manufacturing run is large enough to label stuff specifically per
market, many products are labeled tri-lingually.

I just checked the official Febreze website. It has both English and
French versions. They have local versions of their website for:

I always knew the Bloc Quebecois stunk.
This confirms it.

That makes him a typical child his age. I remember as a boy having to
act as interpreter between adults and the really little kids.

Some of that stuff can't really be thrown in the wash. And why shouldn't a
shortcut be used? Sheesh. Its not the 19th or early 20th century.

Which explains why we bathe more often now than once a week.

I'd be more concerned with the teenage boy that has to go around
smelling like perfume after Mom gets done spraying his stuff.
