Product Review: Gain products for a fresh scent!
+2
I am a big fan of Gain products.
I put fabric softener in warm water, equal parts, into a spray bottle and spray around my rooms. My curtains, carpets and bedding, anywhere you' d add it to the wash. I use the Gain fresh beads in my candle melt machine. I toss some beads in inconspicuous places too! Those things last so long!! I love that the scent last so long, it's about time a product stands up to its name! On laundry day, it's the best!

Oh I'm going to try it!!
I noticed a film left by the spray. I went back to Febreze.
I love that fresh smell too! I can't wait to try some of your ideas....thank you😊
The main ingredient in Febreze is called cyclodextrin, and as chemicals go, it's not that scary. It's basically a sticky ring -- I like to imagine it's a very, very small donut. It's made from corn, but in the same way that ethanol is made from corn; it's refined and very far removed from the source. Each element in the ring is designed to grab on to different kinds of molecules associated with odor. Once that happens, the ring becomes too heavy to float in the air and it falls to ground, where one of those sticky elements in the ring latches it on to the carpet or bedspread that you're freshening. So: Febreze works by making things dirtier! Your nose smells the cyclodextrin instead of the odors as they are now sealed in the chemical. Aside from that, Febreze is loaded with other chemicals in its ingredients that do more harm than good. From allergens to carcinogens, the health risks are too numerous as proven by a study done by the research organization Environmental Working Group (EWG). In fact, the Febreze products rank C, D, and F (from a ranking system with A as the highest and F as the lowest) in EWG’s website. I use essential oils and Vodka in a spray bottle. The vodka evaproates, leaving the essential oil.
