You know that smell that wreaks havoc on every nose in a five mile radius? You know, after you prepare egg salad? Or that mystifying stench in your car. How about a kitty box, wet doggy smell or worse yet – stinky bathroom visitor number 253?
Odors are everywhere, some good and some bad. Some very very bad. “A test of air freshener products recently conducted by the Natural Resources Defense Council found that 12 out of 14 popular air freshener products contained a chemical known to be harmful to the health of humans. Neither the FDA nor the EPA conducts any safety testing or spot checking of toxic chemicals in air freshener products. Essentially, consumers could be exposed to any number of toxic airborne chemicals from air freshener products, with no warning whatsoever.” Natural News
Fortunately, we do not have to rely on toxic chemicals to “mask” unwanted odors. We do have options! One such option is a company called Fresh Wave. Their products are biodegradable, non-toxic and made of natural odor-eliminating ingredients made from plant oils, making them safe for our home. Not only do they have a spray but their products also include gels, candles, pearl-packs, vacuum pearls, carpet shake, and a multi-purpose additive to be used for anything from musty laundry smells, liquid carpet cleaner machines, or to scrub and freshen the mats in your car – you name it!
Fresh Wave attracts, captures and neutralizes all kinds of pesky odors and I was happy to put their laundry additive and room spray to the test in our home! FYI, I think it has a pleasant pine smell but a neighbor boy swears it smells like Coca-Cola??? Though I think he might have just been thirsty, but whatever.
The science?
1. Freshwave molecules enter the air
2. Each Fresh Wave molecule’s surface film carries and electrostatic charge that attracts malodor particles
3. Ecosorb molecules remain airborne until they become saturated and fall to the ground, thus achieving 100% efficiency
Can I say that this happened? I don’t know? Because I am definitely no where near being a scientist….unless you count the fact that I have indeed used the word hypothesis in a sentence. Which is really a pretty big deal considering most of my mommy vocabulary typically revolves around the use of words that describe body functions. But what I can tell you that I used the spray on a not-so-pleasant odor that someone left in the bathroom, shut the door and ran for it. When I came back – I could breathe! It really smelled much better – and not like covered-up better, but actually FRESH cleaner smelling air.
Fresh Wave is a good product for a natural green home and they are getting their smiley’s for:
Natural plant based ingredients
Healthy and safe for us and for our environment
Reasonably priced for most budgets

I became a fan.(Me: Cathy Morse-Herard) On a side note, I am a fan of you, too….SmilingGreenMom!
I love a fresh scent in the house but refuse to ever use candles or air fresheners. I like the idea of a non-toxic air freshener. VERY necessary for my mud room! PEW!
I became a fan (and I really want to win!)
Just became a fan!!!
We just got a new dog…and my Marcus can’t stand the smell of a dog! I see that there are smelly shampoos and such to use on pets, but not sure how safe that is….this would be a better option!
love their products! thanks for this. i am now a fan on facebook.
Fb fan of theirs! I found you thru their page.
I’ve been using Fresh Wave for years and LOVE it! Travel spray is great for musty hotel rooms and rental cars when I’m traveling, crystals work great in my kitchen in-cabinet trash can as well as the musty coat closet that has access panel to crawl space. Pearls are awesome in my hubby’s stinky tennies. My only problem is I just moved and can’t find a local retailer, so I have to orde ronline and pay shipping as well as sales tax. Whaaaaa! Hope to win me some Fresh Wave…
That is so awesome how many places you are using it! It is great huh?
Good Luck!!
Yay! I am so glad that you found me and came by for a visit
Come back again soon okay!

I bought a great old house with terrible old urine smells that seep up from basement and from newly sanded refinished heart pine. Fresh wave unfortunately did not do the job…any other recommendations?
Thanks
