Is Febreze (and its ingredients) safe for my family, environment, and pets?

Is a safe home a Febreze home?

I have asked myself this same exact question and guess what I use in my house now…yes Febreze. I have kids and a dog, so of course, I’m not going to use a product that will do my loved ones any harm.  

Want to know how I decided that Febreze was the brand I trusted to use in my home? Well, I had the opportunity to attend the very first Febreze Safety Immersion at Procter & Gamble’s headquarters Air Care facility in Cincinnati, Ohio. Experts walked us through P&G and Febreze safety requirements, details surrounding inhalation, the science of scent, and then we got to go to the lab. What a fantastic day we had learning about Febreze.

Febreze Safety Priority

Febreze’s number one priority is to ensure the safety of all their products. After speaking with their scientists and seeing the lab, I have NO DOUBT that they do just that and much more. Our safety is critical and listening to all the science behind making a Febreze product rest assured they value consumers’ health and welfare as much as their own health.  

P&G (the makers of Febreze) have been keeping families safe for 180 years so yes I trust this brand. Their general rule of thumb is if they wouldn’t use it with their own families, they won’t put the product for sale. Everyone that I spoke with used the product in their home, around their kids and pets so knowing that makes me feel relieved.

Febreze is at the forefront of leading industry change and wants to ensure their products are safe, but also provide the needed education to consumers on ingredients, usages and more to give us a peace of mind that allows us to make informed decisions about the products we put in our homes.

To make it easy for consumers to look into their products, you can find ingredients of all Febreze’s products HERE.  Also, there is a cool app you can use on your smartphone called SmartLabel to easily pull up any P&G product ingredients.

Reasons Why I Use Febreze

I love when my house smells good. It’s that simple! Everyone’s home has an odor to it, and I don’t want people walking away from my house telling others we stink. EWW! I want my friends to step in and smell fresh scents and feel good about being in my house. We all have walked into a house and wondered what that foul odor was and want to never go back. That is not happening in my home.

OdorClear Technology

Febreze eliminates odors instead of just masking them. There are 500 trillion odor molecules in our homes that we can’t even smell so it’s essential to clean out the ones we can smell. Febreze OdorClear Technology cleans odors in two simple ways. It will seek out that nasty smelling odor and cleanse it by deactivating and replacing it with a light, fresh scent － cleaning away tough, lingering odors better than ever before.

Don’t Be Nose Blind

I learned so much about SMELL when Dr. Pamela Dalton from Monell Chemical Senses Center spoke about the Science of Scent. She talked about how smells trigger memories and yes they sure do. When I think of growing up I remember the farm smells, popcorn from the fair, and then my grandparent’s house smelling like mold.   

My grandparents were NOSE BLIND because their brain tuned out the smells in their home. We would tell them every time we walked in, but they never believed us. Now I know why.

Every home has their own signature scent, and you might not smell yours since you are in it every day, but when someone comes over they will smell it. Or when you leave for a couple of days and come home, you then will smell what your house smells like － good and bad! Even if you are noseblind in your home, you can and should get rid those malodors and truly clean your home by using Febreze.

Is Febreze safe for cats or dogs?

Heck Yes! When we got a puppy last year one thing that worried me was am I harming him with cleaning ingredients in my home? Yes, I did have to change up some products, but not my Febreze. Go ahead check for yourself the ingredients in Febreze products are safe for everyone in my house.  

Please before using any product go to ASPCA database this can help you figure out whether or not a product will be harmful to your pet. According to this article, Febreze is safe to use around your dogs and cats.

Every day when I get up, I spray my couch, rugs, and spray the room with Febreze Fabric Refresher. Smelling clean and fresh scents make me happy and is a pleasant start to my day.

Of course, I hit my dog’s bed after he has gotten up for the day. Dog smells are the worst, and when I catch a whiff of him, I grab my Febreze ONE Fabric & Air Mist which gently cleans away odors from my fabrics and air without the use of aerosols, dyes, or heavy perfumes.

A Safe Home Is A Happy Home! A Happy Home Is A Febreze Home!
