One of the latest ubiquitous fragrances added to cleaning products—from Mr. Clean floor cleaner and counter spray to Downy (and some store brands ) fabric softener and laundry detergents and air fresheners-- is Febreze—which seems to have become the name of the fragrance itself..
But it is the brand name of a particular range of fragrances.
Once the most popular scent in household products was Lemon. Green Apple had a turn around the fragrance merry-go-round, as did, and Vanilla. Now it is Lavender. Or Lavander with Vanilla.
What is the next scent waiting in the wings?
Why aren't more makers of cleaning products "going green"? Artificial scents not only cover up the source of odors, they can cause breathing problems. And what about the cumulative impact of chemicals?
