What is the best home made natural air freshener?
Thanks to our job, we meet around 100 different lovely families in several areas of GTA every month. They are all friendly and welcoming, making us feel at home. While they watch our air duct cleaning technicians perform their job, they come up with several questions regarding indoor air quality. We always encourage our clients to visit our indoor air quality blog on a regular basis to educate themselves on improving the air they breathe.
One of the most frequent questions we get asked is: What is the best home made natural air freshener? So we decided to dedicate a blog post to address many people who ask us this question. But before we go ahead and write about this topic, let’s take a quick look at what air fresheners are and what they do.
Why are air fresheners harmful?
It is shocking to say that air fresheners are more harmful than cigarette smoke. Contrary to popular belief, the cleaning industry is self-regulated, meaning they do not have to follow a series of guidelines before they put their products on a shelf! Air fresheners mask odors but are linked to lung cancer and genetic disorders. They may cause sick building syndrome. The average household spends around $150 annually on a product that harms rather than helps. Air fresheners contain harmful chemicals like aerosol propellants, petroleum distillates, and dichlorobenzene.
What is the best natural home made air freshener?
The best natural home made air freshener is as simple as burning orange peels. That’s right!
There are two ways to do this: you could either place orange peels directly on top of the stove for a maximum of 60 seconds. This will freshen up the air in your home. Never leave the orange peel on the stove unattended due to the flammable oil inside the peel. You could also boil the orange peel. Method number 2 will have the same effect as method number 1, though it will take longer to freshen up your house. On the bright side, you can let it boil without standing by the oven.
Bottom Line:
Air fresheners are dangerous, expensive, and most likely ruin the indoor air quality of your home.
Burning orange peels is much cheaper, natural, and frankly, the scent is amazing!
