Air freshener is designed to coat the air and to coat anything that comes in contact with the air - ie clothes turning said clothes into huffing rags. There must be an easy way to get the stuff off of clothes. ```` —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.77.75.185 ( talk) 04:44, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
Current version states "Simple cleaners such as white vinegar and baking soda are effective at removing odors naturally." I dislike this formulation. What does 'naturally' mean in this context? What qualifies these chemicals as natural versus the (implicitly) unnatural air fresheners? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eudoxie ( talk • contribs) 17:38, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
Air Wick should not redirect to here, it's a brand name and this article is useless to people like me trying to research the brand! -- 71.75.142.141 ( talk) 17:05, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

This article states that air fresheners are "Composed mostly of ingredients such as carcinogens and acetone...".
The MSDS for Air Wick Air Freshener lists ethanol 2.5-10% and sodium tetraborate 0.1 - 1.0% as hazardous ingredients. Sodium tetraborate is commonly known as borax. Neither of these isted ingredients is acetone or a suspected carcinogen.

In view of the listed ingredients of this popular air freshener and the official government policy it does not appear that the statement is accurate. 66.8.208.238 ( talk) 01:49, 5 June 2014 (UTC)Gary Baker
I seriously question the focus and tone of this article. I would say more than half of the article is dedicated to raising questions on the safety of "air fresheners" using un-cited and extremely broad statements like "Many air fresheners employ carcinogens, volatile organic compounds and known toxins such as phthalate esters in their formulas." First, and most importantly, the statement doesn't even offer a source. Second, the statement pairs two absurdly broad statements into one statement so laughably broad that it might as well read "Things contain stuff."
Let me explain:
So, basically "Things contain stuff."
Unless there is some serious objection I will start editing some of these sections to provide what I feel is a more thoughtful and neutral tone.

Opening summary says,
There is no detail in the rest of the article. Summary should summarize. "Multi-phasing" is simply one commercial design which has 2 emitters which change over time https://www.vectairsystems.com/innovation/multi-phasing-sub-micron-fragrance-technology/v-air-solid/. For neutrality, it needs to be dropped until an editor adds a section describing multiple designs from different companies. Numbersinstitute ( talk) 21:56, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
