I just saw a commercial for room freshener which has the scent, as a mist floating through the house. I wonder how this would affect quilts hanging in the area.

Has anyone used the kind that sprays every once in a while? Do you worry about fabric (quilts and other things)that it gets on?

I consider air fresheners, air pollution since I have allergies.

I don't use air freshners either. I burn scented candles occasionally but that's about all.

I have asthma, so I do not use any.

I have used air fresheners/febreeze for yeas and have not noticed any problems with quilts or afghans etc.

As I age, I don't tolerate odors well. That short burst of spray is there for a few minutes and then gone. The ones I tried years ago weren't very effective. I found Odoban concentrate in the original Eucalyptus scent and have loved it ever since. It works to "eat" odors on fabrics and carpets and is a disinfectant. I use about a Tablespoon in every wash to get rid of my husband's sweat odor that won't come out of his old work tee shirts. It's amazing. Somehow, without really having an odor, it makes a house feel & smell clean. The first thing I tried it on was hubby's truck. I took a 125 pound dog that had not had a bath in a couple of months to the vet. The dog managed to get the blanket off the seat and put his stinky odor all over it. Once I got him out, I sprayed the truck seats down really good...choked me up, it was so wet....opened up the windows and let it dry. Several hours later, you couldn't smell anything. I LOVE Odoban...found at Home Depot in the cleaning supplies area.

I have sprayed quilts and never had any problems.

I burn candles and when I cook fish or eggs or there is an illness, I spray Lysol....different scents. I have quilts everywhere and never noticed any lingering issues.

I do not use air fresheners, smelly fabric softener sheets, etc. Not sure if there would be any lasting effects from them.

I would think if you consider air sprays, you'd also have to consider things like grease from frying foods, candle/cigarette smoke, and Obnoxious Husband Poots.
