#9: More Than a Perfume
Febreze is one of the most common household items. Many of us assume that the product is simply a synthetic-smelling perfume that covers up odors in our homes. However, there’s science behind the product that actually makes it neutralize odors instead of just masking them. According to The Washington Post, Febreze used cyclodextrins to trap odor molecules.
Therefore, Febreze literally neutralizes odors instead of simply masking them. The perfumey scents that many of us associate with Febreze were added later on because market research discovered that consumers preferred synthetic scents. If you buy the original unscented Febreze, it works exactly the same way. Either way, your pesky odors will be eliminated.
