The air fresheners industry is huge now due to the demand for this toxic filled smell good feel nice products. Americans alone expected to spend billions of dollars on these products, which in essences are a danger to their healthy and well-being. Therefore, while the sales for these products have soared the complaints are plenty too. From headaches, diarrhea in babies to asthma attacks

Common sense will tell you the air we breathe. Just watch someone with asthma encounter a smoker, you will an instant reaction same to the chemicals in air fresheners although no one is telling you.
In fact, most people suffer from headaches or respiratory problems due to the air they breathe. The worst affected are those who suffer from chronic bronchitis, asthma or emphysema because they react to anything in the air.

Most of those air fresheners we are obsessed about show some fruits on the containers so why not buy this fruits. You can buy lemons, cinnamon or ginger and make your own air freshener.
