Air fresheners are consumer products that typically emit fragrance and are used in homes or commercial interiors such as restrooms, foyers, hallways, vestibules and other smaller indoor areas, as well as larger areas such as hotel lobbies, auto dealerships, medical facilities, public arenas and other large interior spaces.
Air freshening is not only limited to modern day sprays, it also involves the use of organic and everyday house hold items. Air fresheners for non-food areas in homes and offices are designed to mask unpleasant odors and refresh the air. They generally contain chemical reactants which combine with and neutralize odors, plus a separate, mild, aroma ingredient. These products are also suitable for use as general cleaners in welfare areas such as locker rooms, rest rooms, hallways and offices.
