3. Natural vs Synthetic Air Fresheners

If you prioritize sustainability or health, go natural. For fast results and convenience, synthetic options are effective.

4. Factors to Consider When Choosing

• Room size: Large spaces need stronger or automatic options.

• Ventilation: Well-ventilated areas disperse scent quickly.

• Scent type: Floral, citrus, woody, or neutralizing (e.g., activated charcoal).

• Longevity: How long you want it to last before needing replacement.

• Health: If you have pets, kids, or respiratory sensitivities, go for non-toxic options.

6. How to Use Air Fresheners Effectively

• Don’t overspray – especially in closed rooms

• Use a combination – spray for quick effect, gel for lasting freshness

• Replace regularly – especially gels and reeds every 30–60 days

• Keep away from kids/pets – especially plug-ins and open diffusers

• Clean surfaces – a freshener only masks odor, proper cleaning is still needed
