The smell is a bit strong. I don't like being in rooms where one is plugged in.

Almost all air freshener products bother me, including Glade plug ins.

I'd rather open a window and/or burn Mothers Fragrance (low smoke) incense.

I volunteer in charity shops and I've had to make a point of asking that nothing is sprayed around before I come in or while I'm there. Febreeze is nasty too.

Febreeze is nasty stuff! It claims to take away odors, such as pet odors, but it really only masks them, and does a poor job of it. The smell of that stuff and cat urine combined makes a particularly noxious smell.

A brand called "Ozium" seems to work best.

Glade plug-ins don't bother me.

The smell of tobacco smoke, kennels, and litter-boxes can send me out of the area.

I don't use Glade Plug-ins. I need the outlets for electronics a lot more. I did, however, once use these mentholated versions of Plug-ins to help me breathe easier at night when I had a cold, but that was years ago.

I have this can of Glade apple cinnamon air freshener spray, and I really like it.

I generally find scented products disturbing. My apartment building cleaners stink it up pretty bad. When people do laundry the smell of it gets in the hallway. When I wash my clothes I first wash the wash machine with cold water. Cleaning products aisle in the grocery store is horrid. People and their cologne and stinky scented cars.

Yes. I find most things that are supposed to make things smell good disturbing. My mum used one once (my sister

had told her her house smelt like an old persons) I hunted it down behind some curtains unplugged it and told my

mum either it left the house or I would. I told her I pointed out that if her house smelt like an old persons house I

would have told her so. I think she was relieved. My sister's house smelt of dogs, horrible, but still better than air

fresheners.

I can't be around chemical fragrances. I can taste those heinous plug-in things and the equally horrible heavily scented air freshener candles as with most chemical fragrances. My nose starts to run profusely. I can get headaches from them and if I'm in a room long enough I have an overall feeling of malaise and fatigue. It's far worse than: "I don't like the way they smell..."

They're too strongly scented.
They give me a headache.
What someone said about laundry products too, my nose (and skin) seems very sensitive to it.
I'll only use natural washing soda and even then not a lot of it.
I do like some scents though, natural oils like lavender, geranium or eucalyptus are nice.

I dont really like them, but I dont really like anything artificially scented. Gives me headaches. (and drives me nuts!)

Those Bounce pads they use to freshen the laundry are awful.

Most cleaning products also smell horrible.

Our rabbit got sick & died of a respiratory infection shortly after we started using a glade plug-in by her pen cuz her litterbox stank. We're not sure how she got the respiratory infection but my girlfriend kinda wonders if it was the glade & she feels guilty for using it even thou we really do not know what caused her infection. Does anyone here suspect it could of been the glade :?:

After some research I'd say it perhaps isn't great for a rabbit, and I'd avoid doing so in future, just to be safe, but there are other more likely options, viral infection the most likely, stress from lack of companionship and unclean surroundings and tumours are all more probable.
