The Bzz about fresh air
>> 29 April 2009
We live on a dirt road, so opening the windows is a costly luxury. Honestly, I've never seen so much dust accumulate so quickly! I'm not a big fan of air fresheners, but Duller is constantly bringing them home. Here's the thing... I have a big nose. It's the Cherokee in me. One friend in law enforcement used to threaten to hire me out as a drug sniffer. Seriously, if we're in a parking lot and someone lights a cigarette on the opposite end, I know it before the first puff becomes visible.
All this to say, it was with no little skepticism I agreed to test Glade's new Sense & Spray. It was a relief to open the box and find they had sent me Clean Linen scent. (Floral scents are totally banned from my house). The first thing I noticed was a scratch & sniff sticker on the box. Ingenius! Nothing worse than opening the box and finding the scent wasn't as pleasant as it sounded.
This baby was so easy to set up. Lift the front, snap in the canister and you're good to go. Batteries included. I set it in the bathroom where its motion sensor won't be set off quite as ofen. (Yes, I was still skeptical about the scent). At first, I was a bit annoyed that turning off the light set it off. The 'motion' it senses is in the form of a 'shadow'. But once it sprays, there is an automatic 30-minute lockout.
The Clean Linen scent is quite pleasant, even for my overly-developed nasabilities. And it does a nice job 'freshening' the air in an otherwise not-so-fresh setting. Other scents available are Apple Cinnamon, Powder Fresh and Country Garden. The Country Garden is a definite NO for me, but I WILL be trying the Apple Cinnamon... if the current canister ever runs out! It's been more than the promised 30 days and it's still sprtitzing. 8-]
Duller is happy to have found an 'air freshener' that will actually be used. And my nose is happy that Duller will no longer be assaulting it with unpleasantries. This is the first product of this particular type I've ever actually recommended. However, if you have pets or small children who will inevitably become fascinated and go out of their way to make it spritz, be sure to place it out of shadow range. 8-}
