Febreze NOTICEables – also known as the Miracle Worker




This is a compensated review from BlogHer and Febreze NOTICEables

When I was given the opportunity to review Febreze NOTICEables, I did have one question.  Have the people at Febreze been to my house?!  Seriously.  I have a twelve year old and fourteen year old son, and a very large dog, and a husband.  Can you think of anyone who might need help with ODOR more than me? No. You can’t.

Nothing says “homey” more than a fresh smelling house, and I rarely never have that.  Remember when your kids were babies and you loved to sniff their cute chubby necks and breathe in their baby deliciousness?  Well, that does not last, let me tell you.  I am constantly trying different things to eliminate odor all over my house, and until recently, I never found anything that really worked.  Candles do not really help, they’re just not strong enough.  Sprays only last a short time, and believe me, we need something long lasting.  So I was thrilled to get my box of Febreze NOTICEables in the mail.

Before I ever opened the box, all three of the men in my house commented, asking “What smells so good?”.  Before I even opened the box, people!  Febreze NOTICEables is a scented oil warmer that you simply plug into any outlet and enjoy for thirty days.  Instead of one fragrance, NOTICEables alternate between two complimentary scents.  I tried Autumn Spice/Harvest Festivities,  Warm Celebration/Pumpkin Harvest and Morning Walk/Cleansing Rain. They are all so yummy, but my personal favorite is Morning Walk/Cleansing Rain.  I just love that crisp clean scent.

Now, how did they work?  I put the Warm Celebration/Pumpkin Harvest to the true test of odor elimination – it went in the boys’ bathroom.  Two times the boy, two times the smell.  I had given up on that room and resorted to keeping the door closed.  But no more.  Febreze NOTICEables worked wonders in that room and in my bedroom by the dog bed.  I was able to keep their bathroom door open; in fact, I purposefully walked by there more often to catch a whiff of the lovely fall scent.

Febreze NOTICEables will freshen your air for thirty days, so I am still enjoying my sweet smelling home.  If Febreze NOTICEables can work in my house, they can work anywhere!

      On pleasant cool days, I open the windows to get some fresh air inside the house. On other days, we just have to rely on Febreze to keep things smelling clean and fresh!

      I vacuum regularly, which really helps with two indoor dogs. I also use Febreze spray on our couches and rugs.

      Kimberly on September 28th, 2009 1:22 pm

      I think the most important thing I do is to clean really frequently – and if I get the chance I love to open the windows, even if it’s just for a few minutes. Febreze helps too!!

      Emily Warne on September 28th, 2009 2:39 pm

      I have a regular cleaning time at my house that the kids pick up while I wipe down/do deeper cleaning. It keeps things live-able, barely.

      shel on September 28th, 2009 6:34 pm

      I love a quick wipe-down with a lemon-scented cleaner; it gives my house a fresh, clean scent. I also try to crack a window every few days to bring some fresh breeze through the house.

      I am obsessed with making my home smell good! I am constantly burning scented candles and use febreze alot!!

      I also do regular cleaning of course and use bleach to sanitize! I also love FALL because I can open the windows and get fresh air in!:)

      Lots of vacuuming, fresh air and wiped clean window screens make for a good smelling house and a much better house for my asthmatic son!

      Those sound great! I think I will go out and buy some. I have two children, three cats (don’t ask….it’s a long story) and a dog. I need any help I can get. I love the smell of fresh rain.

    17
      Linda Stewart on September 29th, 2009 8:30 am

      I clean my bathrooms each and every day. For me the bathroom is the one room that, if not kept clean, can affect the smell in the entire house. I also use candles, unless I’m cooking something that smells really good then I let the smell of home cooking flood the house.

      Selene M. on September 29th, 2009 9:00 am

      I love to open the doors in the fall to let the fresh, cool breezes in. Seems to make the house look cleaner, if it isn’t.

    20
      Marie on September 29th, 2009 9:02 am

      We open windows whenever possible to let the fresh air in and I used scented candles in those rooms that need it most. I use fabric refreshers too on the sofa and the curtains all through the house. :-)

    21
      kasey on September 29th, 2009 9:18 am

      We have dogs, and it sounds crazy but keeping them bathed and fresh smelling makes a world of difference. I also love to vacuum and I think that helps as well.

    22
      SANDRA MAIN on September 29th, 2009 1:24 pm

      I EMPTY MY TRASH CANS REGULARLY. I ALSO KEEP THE LAUNDRY DONE AND VACUUM.

    23
      Carol on September 29th, 2009 1:50 pm

      I open the windows and let the fresh air in, during seasonabley mild weather, and during colder weather I light candles.

      main entry: well we use to keep everyones shoes in there room by beds etc. But now we keep all shoes in the laundry room on a rack shelf to house them where they are gotten & removed to stay and I keep an air gel freshner there that i have to change when it dries up but I’d much rather try the febreze noticeables so thanks for the chance to win it!

      Keep your trash emptied and the trash basket clean. Open windows to air out. I use Febreze and love it.

    28
      Cindy B in Montana on September 29th, 2009 6:49 pm

      The smelliest place in our home is near the kitchen trash if we don’t take it out often. So we do that every day. And we open our windows, too…whenever we can!

      ShootingStarsMag on September 29th, 2009 10:44 pm

      We should do more…we use sprays for the bathroom when it needs it and we do use some plug-ins. The ones you are talking about sound awesome though.

    31
      Kimberly on September 30th, 2009 5:18 am

      I open the windows every day if it is not too hot outside. I love the fresh breeze blowing through the house.

      liz on September 30th, 2009 12:05 pm

      I think vaccumming everyother day and cleaning the counters with bleach.. I try to keep a febreeze at all times plugged in .
      Also leave the door open and locked when we are home for fresh air

    35
      Mami2jcn on September 30th, 2009 7:07 pm

      I use deodorizing spray on the diaper pail to help freshen the baby’s nursery.

      Mfalcon13 on September 30th, 2009 7:08 pm

      We make sure to vacuum the high-traffic areas often and air the rooms out.

    38
      Kari on September 30th, 2009 7:35 pm

      I think opening the windows on cool, breezy days is a great way to air things out around the house.

      Thanks

      Nicolle B. on September 30th, 2009 10:06 pm

      To keep my home clean & fresh I vacuum alot. We get tons of crumbs on our carpet. When the air is stale & stinky, I spray Febreze air effects. We could really use some candles though :)

      Amy on October 1st, 2009 6:42 am

      We vacuum every other day (mostly because of our dog) and also make sure that the dishes are done and the trash taken out! I would love to try this!

    42
      Christa on October 1st, 2009 4:02 pm

      We also have a very large dog, an English Mastiff. We just made a new rule, when someone lets him outside they have to wipe the walls down with a disinfectant wipe, and sweep the floor. It takes maybe 2 minutes tops to do, but it really helps keep his smell and hair under control. We also have a Febreeze NOTICEables right beside his “room” and I love when the smell changes and I… NOTICE it!

      good smelling candles is what i use!

      Lost Girl on October 2nd, 2009 11:13 am

      My roommates and I each take a room. One gets the bathroom (sucker) one gets the living room and I get the kitchen. Having one person maintain one area is so much more manageable.

    45
      Anna on October 2nd, 2009 12:20 pm

      I love it when my house smells fresh and clean – consequently I love Febreeze especially their allergen reducer as many in my family struggle with allergies. I can attest that it truly does work and I am a big fan!

    46
      Stephanie on October 2nd, 2009 1:45 pm

      I clean a little each day to keep it from smelling and don’t leave dishes in the sink!

      Val G on October 2nd, 2009 6:18 pm

      To keep our home smelling fresh, we take the trash out right away and keep the dog off the furniture and on her own little beds with washable covers throughout the house.

    50
      mary on October 3rd, 2009 4:51 am

      I try my best to maintain a clean house with 2 dogs and a cat and a husband, lol ( is it even possible when you have a husband?) Maybe with dogs , but… oh well, I try at least. If I have time to light a candle and enjoy it, i do that before anyone comes in the room to spoil the tranquility. The smell of the candle is calming. After you blow it out the small bit of smoldering it does also removes odors.

    51
      Emily N. on October 3rd, 2009 7:11 am

      open the windows to let fresh air in, take the trash out frequently

    52
      Keely on October 3rd, 2009 2:26 pm

      keep the dishes from piling up

    53
      JC on October 3rd, 2009 10:25 pm

      The most important thing I do to maintain a clean fresh home is to make sure the air is circular no matter what. There are so many others I do to make our house is fresh and clean. Air refreshers are always must haves plus never leave dirty dishes overnight, pack trash daily, vacuum daily and mop/dust regularly. I dry clean my rugs and bleach towels to sanitize regularly as well, these really help!

      Carolyn G on October 4th, 2009 9:01 am

      The most important thing is to open the windows up as much as possible whenever possible to let the fresh air in. THe next thing is to Febreze the sofa, rugs, chairs etc. to keep them fresh smelling.

      Melissa @Mel4Him on October 4th, 2009 9:40 am

      The most important thing I do to maintain a clean, fresh home is to keep it clean. Vacuum, wash the floors, keep the sink free of dishes, empty the trash, and open a few windows to let the stale air circulate out.

    60
      Michelle on October 5th, 2009 3:36 am

      I just found your site and it looks great! And I love Febreze!

    61
      Nancy on October 5th, 2009 5:23 am

      I live where it is warm a lot of the year so I open my windows whenever possible. I love having the fresh air inside especially after cooking something that has left a strong odor.

    62
      katmagick on October 5th, 2009 8:13 am

      Having 7 indoor cats means having to keep the litter boxes clean. I also use a high quality litter and keep plug in’s in the litter box room. Thats how I keep the house fresh smelling.

    63
    64
      Anita on October 5th, 2009 1:06 pm

      I think what’s most important is that I try to make sure no one leaves wet towels or other linens lying around, the trash is taken out regularly, and the dishes are clean. (I know, you’d think those are obvious things… but sometimes the most obvious are the ones most likely to be forgotten or neglected.) :)

      Melissa on October 6th, 2009 8:53 am

      The most important thing that I can do to maintain a clean, fresh home is lock my four sons out of it! Seriously, if I could just keep them in the basement, the rest of my house would stay clean and fresh. : )

      Actually one thing I do every night to enlist help from the boys before bedtime is we have a 10 minute clean up and we race around the house cleaning up as much as we can in 10 minutes. Since they view this as competition, they’re into it and actually pitch in without me nagging.

    71
      Holley Berry on October 6th, 2009 9:02 am

      I am the only woman in a house full of 1 husband, three soccer/football playing, hygienically challenged teenagers, 2 cats a dog and 1 grumpy old-man (father-in-law). My house needs to smell better or I’m going to go insane. I would be happy to be the new Fabreeze poster family “Fabreeze…better than Prozac”

      As for my cleaning tip…I should probably clean the house and then change the locks so that the problem can’t keep coming back into the house.

    72
      Linda on October 6th, 2009 11:45 am

      I pick up a little every day so that clutter doesn’t pile up!

    74
      claire on October 6th, 2009 1:07 pm

      I try to reduce clutter by regularly donating clothing and books and just reducing shopping in general. This makes it easier to clean. I really do use Febreze and it was once the only thing that helped a really smelly situation in my car…. hot day, cold milk spill… ew! But Febreze to the rescue!

    75
      Stephanie J on October 6th, 2009 1:57 pm

      I clean surfaces with clorox wipes & swiffer the floors!

    76
      Lia on October 6th, 2009 5:07 pm

      I wish I could pretend that I have a clean fresh house. The best I can do right now is to keep the kitchen sink empty.

    77
      jen b on October 6th, 2009 7:34 pm

      I keep the kitchen counters and floors relatively clean and keep the garbage can lid on. Of course, usig air-freshener helps too!

    78
      Ironsnider on October 6th, 2009 8:21 pm

      I vacuum regularily and keep the windows open when the weather is nice.

    79
      Aimee W. on October 6th, 2009 9:54 pm

      I like to sprinkle plain baking soda before vacuuming. It gets rid of odors without bothering everyone’s allergies — like some of the scented vacuum powders can.
      Thanks!

    81
      Lisa A on October 6th, 2009 11:26 pm

      I like to use room freshener sprays and also open up the windows and air out the house, when possible. I like to clean with bleach for that fresh-cleaned smell.

    82
      Teresa Burger on October 7th, 2009 3:51 am

      Clorox Wipes! My children all know how to ’swipe’ with these wipes and quickly freshen a space. We also actually use Febreeze and one afternoon chore is to do a 3 second spray in each room. It all helps.

    83
      Charity on October 7th, 2009 8:50 am

      Having quadruplets that are still in diapers (ugggh!) — It is a MUST that the dirty diapers go outside IMMEDIATELY!!! lol!

      Katrina on October 7th, 2009 3:20 pm

      I think that the most important thing I do to keep my home clean is use a ton of bleach wipes – seriously, on everything! Helps keep the place pretty clean and germ-free…

    87
      Gretta on October 7th, 2009 3:47 pm

      I mop the floors every other day. As a Mom of 4 kids, it is amazing how dirty & sticky they can become in just a few days. This seems to help combat odors & grime in our home. Thanks for the chance to win!

    88
      Jaime on October 7th, 2009 4:27 pm

      most important thing for me is opening the windows, even is just for a few minutes every day.

    93
      Meg on October 7th, 2009 8:37 pm

      We open the windows every day, and I have scented diffusers in nearly ever room to keep our space smelling fresh and clean! I also try to use “green” products to avoid harsh-smelling odors when we clean.

      Cleaning – not so much. I AM a candle fanatic, however! The issue there is that my husband is worried I will one day burn down the house by forgetting how many candles I lit and where. I love the idea of NOTICEables as I’m pretty sure they won’t burn down the house.

    98
    99
      Dee on October 10th, 2009 7:25 am

      I think a clean home smells fresh, but with snow and a furry Old English Sheepdog it is not easy. Oh and the two boys smell it up pretty good themselves. I do laundry all day and that keeps the house smelling fresh. A clean and dry dog helps to.

    100
      Tamara B. on October 10th, 2009 12:53 pm

      I vacuum three times a week and make sure the kitchen garbage is taken out before the odor starts setting in.

      A clean home is love to me. Three boy and a girl ,its fun! Animals added to my group and it could be a smelly house and has been many times!Keeping germs away ,keeping my family healthy by vacuum,mopping and wiping down surfaces. Sitting back ,I know it clean but I want more!I want it all a clean house and a wonderful scented home. I want the scent of a clean house, making it a home. I have faked the kids out,they though I was baking and looked for food,oops and thank you Febreze!!

    103
      Marissa on October 12th, 2009 6:48 am

      I am known for being a bit of a ‘neat-freak’. It’s a title I am learning to embrace!!! I’ve always been a bit obsessed with my home not only being clean but smelling clean! It’s my home’s ‘first impression’ to guests. I swear by carpet deodorizer (my fav is arm and hammer country rose scent) when I vacuum and febreze everything! I’ve got the noticeables, candles and fabric spray. When I don’t have time to clean (with 4 kids and a soldier on his 3rd tour-it happens quite a bit) I know that my house can at least fake it-and smell clean!

    104

      JMom on October 12th, 2009 9:04 pm

      My husband does most of the cleaning in our house so if I keep him well fed and motivated, I can maintain a fresh clean house :)

      The most I do is maintain and pick up every once in a while.

      Kelly Ann T. on October 18th, 2009 1:59 pm

      I wash the sheets and bedding every week. I also vacuum and mop often. With two big dogs and an active family the floors need to be clean.

    111
      Alexandrea M on October 18th, 2009 6:15 pm

      I use a hepa pet hair specific vacuum cleaner in conjunction with febreeze to deal with pet odor, it doesn’t help with the litter smell but everything else in my house smells great!

    112
      Buggys on October 19th, 2009 8:29 am

      I use a febreeze diffuser in the bedrooms for a very pleasant and relaxing scent.

    113
      Buggys on October 19th, 2009 8:30 am

      I have smokers in my house and they smoke out in my garage but at times the odor seeps in so I use the warming oil near the garage door to eliminate (and it works!) any odor.

      Allison on October 20th, 2009 2:07 pm

      Trying to keep a house clean with three boys AND a husband can be hard so I try to take out the trash daily, keep the floor swept and the dirty, stinky dishes clean!

    115
      Anne on October 21st, 2009 11:58 pm

      I keep air fresheners in the bathrooms and near my kitchen garbage can! Even if my house isn’t spotlessly clean, it will smell fresh!

      I vacuum the couch and spray it with Febreeze to remove cat hair and the dreaded feet smell.

      I clean on a regular basis. By clean I mean more than just a pickup. I deep clean. I also keep the trash emptied. With a baby and toddler in the house it’s imperative that the trash get taken out daily. I also refuse to allow laundry to build up. I do, on average 2 loads every day. I also keep plug ins in the higher outlets so the boys can’t reach and/or I burn nice light smelling candles.

      I love citrus cleaners, and air fresheners, the scent seems to last longer than than most other scents

      The most important thing I do to keep my home fresh is make sure my kids keep up on their chores. If they take out the garbage and clean the cat box things stay pretty good.

      I try to spray the kitchen sink & the toilets daily with clorx, take out the trash and if its not too cold open the windows and doors and let in some fresh air

      Vent my electric dryer into the laundry room – heat and good scent at one

      I love to open all of the windows and let the fresh air in. I also like to use febreeze on all of the soft furnishings. Dishes need to be done promptly and garbage taken out as well. Of course vacuuming, dusting and all other routine chores need to be done as well. I also LOVE scented candles.

      The most important thing I do is keeping the kitchen clean and the trash under the sink emptied since it is often the source of odors in our home.
