Fabreeze

Fabreeze’ et al:
So after a day or two that fresh smell left by the ‘Bomb’ had gone, and the smoke smell seemed to be present again! After reading another review I decided to optimistically try Fabreeze.
Yes the household brand that is fabreeze – quite a few people seemed to think this worked well at removing the smell and leaving something nice in its place! Well it did at first, but then it came right back again after using the car.
I decided to dowse the seats, carpets, infact everything in fabreeze and leave it over night to see if this helped increase its potential…well yes and no.
I could still smell smoke when I opened the door, but once inside it seemed to smell of…well fabreeze, but then I put the heaters on and bang! Smoke!
I read another method where you put the car blowers on ‘re-circ’ so that it is re circulating the air inside the cabin – and then begin to spray the car with fabreeze or other; here I used fabreeze again on seats and carpets, but also began to spray some aerosol based ‘Oust’ (same sort of thing), and this seemed to get sucked through the system a lot better with it being a finer spray, so I emptied half a can and left the car running for a little while to get it worked in.
After this, the smell of smoke seemed to be gone! Wow, could it be true…NO…it couldn’t!
Well worth a shot! – It did actually seem to help the smell coming from the blowers (something I will tackle in another section), and left fabrics smelling better for a short while, but again after a day or two it seemed to be back to the smokey after smell.
Fabreeze Rating: 3 – gave a nice smell, covered the smoke for a short time, but no real impact.
Cost: £2 a bottle (Oust-£1 a can)
