Haha. The original Febreeze was unscented and marketed to REMOVE odors. Then they added perfume because people complained that they couldn't smell anything so how would they know it was clean without a scent? So stupid. I read somewhere that they started remaking the original unscented odor remover (claimed to even remove skunk odor). Pretty pathetic if you have to buy one Febreeze product to remove the odor of another. Frankly, I hate that stuff. It should be banned from the planet.

If it is anything like the "new and improved" Pinesol, you will be suffering with that stench for at least a week.

What's your weather doing? I'd open windows, start a fan. I had a chimney cleaner who sprayed the fireplace after cleaning one time with something that I swear smelled like bubble gum. Sickly sweet and lingering. I opened the front door, locked the screen door, and let a fan blow scent up that chimney all day long ;0)

Actually I've had the windows open for a few hours. Seems a bit better. (Eau de bubble gum would be even worse, I think!)

Jellytoast is right. It took a lot of experimenting to come up with a scent strong enough that the Febreeze couldn't remove. It says the scent lasts approx. 3 days. I would open windows with an exhaust fan going. I'm sensitive to scents so none in my house.

I wonder if something like Fresh Wave would help.

A spray of just plain alcohol and water will help rid the air and neutralize the odors. I keep a spray bottle handy for that and to clean my quartzite countertops .

Maybe spritz vinegar & water where she Febreezed everything? That is a good odor remover and the vinegar smell dissipates very quickly.

After DH came into the house with the dogs after they got skunked, we cleaned the dogs and then had to deal with the house. They got hit on the driveway, so I couldn't open up the windows. I did turn on the kitchen vent hood and I lit several candles and burned them for a few hours. I may have repeated the next day, but that took care of it. Might help with Febreeze.

I honestly can't think of anything to add, other than wiping down surfaces like walls, furniture & floors &/or carpets w/ alcohol, vinegar or even soapy water, if possible, to try to physically remove the chemicals.

And that's interesting about the original Febreze being unscented. I had a bottle of unscented, allergen reducing Febreze & when it finally ran out I tried to find more, but have had no luck @ all, so far.

I believe the people at Febreeze have become "nose blind" to their own product.

FWIW, according to my allergist, Febreze is extremely allergy-enhancing, even when unscented.

I HATE THAT STUFF! And yes I'm "yelling"!

Still going strong 30 hours later. Good grief.

Febreeze sets me to sneezing every time. It's evil.

Now laundry detergent companies are bragging about how long their scent lasts. I'm in despair.

I can't stand Febreze. Maybe try placing bowls of vinegar or activated charcoal around to neutralize it.

Who are they marketing this stuff to? I only wish I could go "nose blind"!

Open as many windows as you can and run any vent fans in the house. Be sure to replace the filter to the heat pump or whatever you heat and cool with.

Get out the crock pot— fill with a quart of water, 1/2 C white vinegar, two cinnamon sticks OR 4 Tbls ground cinnamon, and sliced lemon or orange. Leave lid ajar and place on HIGH for several hours i left mine overnight. it worked gof our new home drenched in fabreeze We also changed the air filter afterwards

I had sombody leave my Airbnb a week ago. There was an empty bottle of Febreeze in the garbage. The room smells really strong of the Febreeze. I have had the window and door open and the fan on for a week now. I have washed everything, I've even shampooed the carpet and there is still a strong smell. I am now trying water, vodka, and orange essential oil as suggested on another site. If that doesn’t work I guess im washing all the walls next, poss possibly a repaint, althou although that will really suck. Any other suggestions?
