Fabric softners in air vents?

Question

Can you use fabric softners in the air intake of your home to have a fresh sent in all the rooms?

Answer 1

You can if you want, and then you can tell other people they can too.  Let's see what happens.

Answer 2

Um, well, though I'm not as passionate/alarmist as the poster above me...I must agree with the final recommendation -- especially for the purpose you're suggesting.

Many fabric softeners are synthetic made with a chemical that causes allergy and asthma symptoms to worsen, even among those who do not typically show sensitivity.  While there are plenty of alternative uses for dryer sheets (someone posted about 50 uses for Bounce recently, lol) I'd stay away from using any liquid laundry softener as an air freshener.

It's pretty cool though that your mind works that way :)  I never would have thought of it.

Answer 3

Fabric softeners do not only contain a scent ("sent"???), they contain CHEMICALS that should not be breathed.

Furthermore, the falacious advertising that there are "air fresheners" is totally a hoax that can and often does cause resperatory problems in many people.  Those air fresheners are merely chemical dissipators that put chemicals in your lungs that you really should not be breathing.

Remember the recent popcorn scare?  The workers in the factories who make artificial buttered popcorn products for microwave ovens were coming down with serious lung diseases!  And that was what people were eating and breathing in their own homes!

If you want a REAL air freshener, there is only one kind, and that is the AIR FILTER air freshener!  As for putting odors in the air, you can be really flirting with your bad health by breathing vapors and chemical scents into your system!  In this Republicommunist mafia cult political system we have today, there are no controls to keep manufacturers from producing harmful products nor to be able to sue them when they make you ill !!!!  That's what people get for voting Republican!
