To start telling people that 'sprayed with febreeze' isn't the same as CLEAN..

[LizaTarbucksAuntie]

Why do people think it smells good? It smells like you've sprayed chemicals all over yourself....

If you insist in dousing yourself and your clothes with it, please keep a decent distance away from me in the supermarket. don't follow me around wafting your manky unclean chemical covered clothes at me.

Serves me right for going to a different supermarket to usual I suppose.

People use Febreze on their clothes?

Grim.

I'm not familiar with this phenomena but it doesn't sound good.

I only used Febreze when dd has weed on the carpet and I have extensive sponged it first with warm soapy water. I have never sprayed it clothes.

I've done this. Only on my coat though. Sometimes my DB will start frying food late at night and not close the kitchen door. So when I get up for work and put put on my coat it smells of grease. I think febreze smells better than drowning the smell with perfume.

Coats I sort of understand, but if people are spraying into armpits and crotch areas of clothes, t-shirts, jeans etc. to get another wear out of them...

She the hell were you shopping?! Pls don't say waitrose. Febreeze does not mingle well with hummus and Sancerre.

sorry to say it didn't look like it had been done to 'freshen up' a coat, it was pretty ingrained.

I thought it was more for use on carpets...tis a hideous smell though.

you'll all be on the sniff for it now though right?

coraltoes....Morrisons...

Febreeze mings mightily. It smells of chemical unclean, you're so right. I think that smell-association your brain does (the one that makes baby wipes smell faintly of shit) has made Febreze smell of unwashed crotch, faggy old furniture and musty chemicals to me forever.

dont persil (or some washing powder) have febreeze added to it as one of their flavours? Maybe its that you can smell

yes you are right though its horrible

I used Neutrogel in my car after I gave a 'lift' to a little cat that I saw knocked over by a car.
On the way to vets it died and voided it's bladder

Smell association now Neutrogel= tom cat wee.

70 :(

Oh 70, thats so SAD!!

I febreeze my teen sons bedroom. the carpet the curtains , even one mattress. because they stink.

am grateful they wash every morning, but they are filthy creatures.

i love them dearly, but when i venture in to their bedrooms i wear gloves, and arm myself with anti bac wipes, febreeze and large rubbish bag. its all very grim....

I use it if people turn up unannounced, no idea why as my house isn't smelly... I prefer jos sticks but one mum told everyone in school I was a hippy. Maybe I am, but I'm a bit too aggressive.

Weird that people spray it on themselves though, if they washed and used deodarant they wouldn't need to. To REEK of it, sends the message to me they are otherwise gopping.

Like a man I used to know, he smelled so nice when I met him, but I soon discovered the pattouilli (sp) oil was to mask the cheesewaft.

I spray my clothes and my stuff with febreeze because it smells nicer than the smell of damp so yabu.

Molly - sorry but why do your clothes smell damp? can't you get them dry?

My point was that fabreeze isn't the same and clean and you've sort of just proved that..

Do you always sniff random people?

no, was definitely not sniffing on purpose more being overcome by wafting...

Febreeze is the devil's work!

I always think it's main use is to cover up fag smoke smells - and it's pretty good at that.

When I was a smoker I used it on my clothes occasionally . I was gopping - now non-smoker and smell bee-u-ti-full

urgh. gross.
