Air Fresheners are Toxic

Chemical air fresheners are toxic. The fumes pervade the atmosphere of the home, even if they are only used in the 'smallest room'. The chemical air-fresheners are usually made from petro-chemicals, which are able to cause toxicity and potentially able to be carcinogenic. The 'plug-in' electrical type appear to be even more capable of pervading the atmosphere. Some scented candles are also made with petro-chemical aromas. The toxicity potential of these things applies to the whole household, including children and adults, not just to the family pet.

Advice: Always check ingredients. If you are not clear what the ingredients mean, don't buy!

Half a raw onion is a very good natural air freshener, as is pot pourri, made with flower petals and aromatherapy oils.
