Keeping it Fresh with Febreze Fabric Spray
Febreze Fabric Spray is a household staple for many, keeping fabrics fresh and smelling great. But with so many ways to use it, it can be tricky to know what it works best for. Here, we’ll dive into some key tips and common questions on how to use Febreze Fabric Spray effectively and store it properly, making sure you’re getting the most out of it!
How to Use Febreze Fabric Spray
First things first—Febreze Fabric Spray is only for fabrics. This means it’s not designed for hard surfaces like door handles, desks, or even your hands. It’s also best not to use it on disposable masks. When spraying fabrics, hold the bottle about 20–30 cm (around 8–12 inches) away from the item, and spritz just enough to make the surface slightly damp. For example, if you’re freshening up a men’s jacket, about 5–6 sprays should do the trick. Since Febreze is water-based, it’s okay to dry it in direct sunlight without worrying about damage.
Different Types of Febreze and Other Key Tips
There’s a special version called “Febreze Alcohol+” with a higher alcohol content, which helps fabrics dry faster and acts as a preservative in the formula. While it’s great for regular fabric freshening, keep in mind it’s not a substitute for disinfecting every virus out there. Febreze does offer some virus removal effects on specific types, but it’s not a certified sanitizer.
Also, if you’re refilling a Febreze bottle, it’s best to stick to the same type you had before for the best results. And while it may be tempting to use a different spray bottle you have on hand, Febreze’s bottles are designed to control spray amounts and mist quality, so try to avoid switching containers if possible.
Storing Febreze and Shelf Life Tips
For storage, make sure to turn the nozzle to “Off” and keep the bottle standing upright in a cool, dry spot. Avoid places with big temperature changes (like on top of electronics) and always keep it out of reach of little hands. While Febreze doesn’t have a strict expiration date, it’s recommended to use it within a year for the best results. Once you’ve opened the bottle, try to use it sooner rather than later to keep it effective.
Conclusion
Febreze Fabric Spray is perfect for keeping fabrics fresh, as long as it’s used as intended—only on fabrics, not hard surfaces or masks. Spray from about 20–30 cm away, just enough to lightly dampen the surface. For added freshness, try the "Alcohol+" version, but remember, it’s not a complete sanitizer. Stick to using the same type when refilling, and store upright in a cool, dry spot with the nozzle set to “Off.” Use within a year for best results. With these simple steps, Febreze helps keep your home smelling inviting and fresh every day.
