Something you can plug into an outlet or set on a table is arguably more convenient than having to spray from a pump bottle every few hours. Gels and sprays can also be dangerous if ingested, so make sure they're stored accordingly.Ĭhoosing a type also means choosing how easy to use or customizable you want your air freshener to be. If you have small children or pets, a plug-in might not be the best option unless your outlets are high enough that they're out of reach. There are various types of air fresheners, including sprays, gels, diffusers, and automatic misters that plug into the wall, like the Glade Automatic Spray Kit.
GLADE AUTOMATIC SPRAY REFILL CRISP WATERS MANUAL
If you're interested in a manual spray, go with Caldrea Linen & Room Spray. For something more affordable, consider Glade PlugIns Scented Oil Air Freshener. This plug-in device syncs with your smartphone or tablet, allowing you to switch between scents and adjust the settings from anywhere. The best air freshener for homes is the Pura Smart Fragrance Diffuser. Type: Oil diffuser | Amount: 0.7 ounces | Scent Duration: 45 days The manufacturer lists the ingredients, which include "fragrance," indicating the possible presence of phthalates. This product uses three AA batteries, which die pretty quickly, so make sure you have plenty on hand. Refills change easily by inserting them into the bottom of the unit, and you can purchase refills in any of five fragrances. You can set it to deliver mists over different intervals as well: Low (4-second mist, 17-minute pause), Medium (5-second mist, 12-minute pause), and High (6-second mist, 10-minute pause). The scent lasts the entire time it's powered down, but you can adjust the intensity if needed. It runs for 8 hours, then switches to standby mode for 16 hours. Since it's cordless, you can take it anywhere you might feel a need to spruce up the air, such as a hotel room.
GLADE AUTOMATIC SPRAY REFILL CRISP WATERS PORTABLE
This essential oil diffuser is portable and cordless-no outlet required-and each refill cartridge lasts up to 45 days.
The Air Wick Essential Mist is another freestanding unit we like. Type: Plug-in diffuser | Amount: 0.7 ounces | Scent Duration: 60 days When we looked to see when "fragrances" weree listed as ingredients, we were directed to the manufacturer's website, which lists many chemicals under "fragrance component." The refills should be compatible with any similar Air Wick warmer. To replace a cartridge, you simply insert a refill into the plug-in until you hear a click. It's super budget-friendly, too-the starter kit only runs you a few bucks, and the refill cartridges are even more affordable. The scent-which the manufacturer describes as "aromatic lavender essence rounded off with gentle chamomile and precious woods"-is somewhat strong, but you can choose from five intensity settings. For maximum scent distribution, make sure you plug this in with the product facing upright. The diffuser uses little essential oil cartridges, warming the scent and releasing it upwards and outwards.
