Febreze vs Perfume

Febreze wins.

Regarding my previous post 'Deperfuming Helmets' I can now report that
Febreze does pretty much mask out perfume smells in Jackets and
helmets.

Personaly I prefered them smelling of perfume but the Febreze is much
more anonymous. Now they smell like the house of a compulsive
cleaner...

Cheers,
Duncan.

Whats the active in Febreeze?

Hammo

 

According to http://www.ciao.co.uk/Febreeze__Review_5142664:

WHAT?S IN IT ?

This appears to be a closely guarded secret! Looking at the bottle in front
of me it doesn?t list any active ingredients or a patented formula name.
The product label just says ?contains amongst other ingredients,
preservative?, P & G appear to be deliberately vague about the contents of
this magic concoction! The only information P&G mention in their literature
is that it contains some sort of proprietary active system in a water
solution that is designed to clean away odours in fabrics.

Upon further investigation I have found the active ingredient of Febreze to
be a cyclodextrin, that?s often used in cleaning supplies and helps reduce
unpleasant smells. Cyclodextrin is a sugar like compound that traps the
odour molecules. The odour molecules would still be present in the fabric
but you wouldn?t be able to smell them, they would be masked. Once the
molecules are trapped your noses will not be able to smell any further.
Please do understand that these odour causing molecules are still present
within the fabrics, it?s just that they are masked, Febreze is not intended
as a replacement to cleaning.

P&G infact appear to have a few series of cyclodextrins that they have
patented for use in this area of home fabric freshening and cleaning
especially with home dry cleaning kits, which do not use toxic agents such
as Perchloroethylne, which is used in conventional dry cleaning. So more is
yet to come....

So Hammo - is this "cyclodextrin" likely to eat our helmets faster than boat
load of starving asylum seekers can polish off a 5 course Chinese banquet
at the local "Peking Moon"?
