Concerns raised about costly problem with popular air freshener | Globalnews.ca

I was thinking about trying one.......until i found this!

I had found many years ago, that even the Little Tree Air Fresheners can damage a Dashboard if the come in contact with plastic parts.

Had that happen on my 1994 Lincoln Town Car, was hanging one from the Headlight Knob, and it did eat up-dissolve some of the faux walnut grained trim on the left side of the dash in just a very short time.

From then on in, if I use the Little Trees, I hang them from the emergency brake release lever, or some other place where they will not contact any plastic parts.

cg scents are but I just clean my interior with 1z, always smells amazing after. Option 2 is Yankee candles, the midnight summer smells amazing, card or jar.

I put air fresheners inside trunk compartment. Does a great job without overwhelming.

The wife prefers her air freshener under the passenger seat. Works well there too.

No damages done.

Gonna go take mine out right now! Thanks for the heads up

I had a new one ready to put in this weekend, but after reading that i returned it. Why take a chance? When i clean my leather seats with the DP foam cleaner & conditioner, it leaves a really great leather scent!

A little off subject but the air freshens for your home that have the oil and wooden sticks in them, be careful with those too. I have two end tables that little drips of the oil got on and ate the finish off all the way down to the wood.

Love that smell. Just used some this weekend.

Also heard many times, a dryer sheet under the seat does wonders. Now for the home, the febreez plug in noticables i find great!

I have 2 of these in my vents and the older ones in my center console and glovebox. So far haven`t had any issue. I got the Island one(not sure on specific name) and it makes my car always smell amazing. Always the first thing people notice when they get in. might have to examine them good though.
