glade plug-ins?

Question

Can anybody still smell them after 1 day? I can't. Is there anyway to get them to last longer?

Answer 1

I don't know if Glade Plug-ins actually last for sure, but I do know that usually once you become acustomed to the smell, it's harder for you to smell it. I hope that made sense, lol. Ask someone that doesn't live in your home if they smell it when they come over.
If it is in fact that the Glade Plug-ins don't work well, try the Febreeze plug-ins. They cost a little more at $8 and the refills are around $4, but they work really well and last forever. Hope this helps. Good luck!

Answer 3

NO-YOU CANNOT REALLY. ALSO- mY uNCLE IS IN THE U.S. ARMY-knowing we recently bought a house- sent us a lovely house warming package- including a news article about a housing unit n his base that was a "total loss" for 5 families (no deaths thankfully)-anyhow-in the article it stated that from the get go- the investigators were "suspicious" of the fires origin. After a week the determined the cause- one of these plug in types. Apparently-after being plugged in-it melted down into the electrical outlet-and caused the fire. It took the investigator a bit of time to figure it out- they had means to show it started "outside" the outlet (burn patterns??) but pictures from a b-day party 5 hours prior showed no lamps, tv etc plugged in- and after a few days the wife remembered knowing the party was coming wanted all to be nice and clean- had purchased on these things and that it was plugged in the morning of- (also shown in the photo as the only thing plugged in) and it was determined to be the cause. Here's the clincher- the home insurance will not cover the damages- because it was not supposed to be in the plug- had it been a lamp,tv etc- would have been cleared- not this thing though. Now -dont go and freak i am just passing on what i have read/been told. Personally-i wouldn't use them ever.

Personally, I'm not crazy about sprays or plug ins that don't work. I have the perfect solution that i use myself for getting rid of smells and not just covering them up. It is a product called FRIDGE IT odor absorbers. It is a little purple cube with an activated carbon filter inside that is really great. It works so much better than baking soda and all those sprays and plug ins. Just place them around your house. No messy pieces or carbon powder to worry about. The carbon filter in this product literally eliminates the odors and works for a long time. I use this product everywhere including my fridge and freezer and also under sinks, near trash, closets, drawers and have friends that use it on cat litter box and also diaper pails - it's that good. I really recommend it and it's not expensive. You can buy it in kitchen gadget sections in stores like walmart and linens and things. I also think camping world sells it. Definitely worth trying. It's the best product for any odors around the house.

I quit using those things a long time ago for the same reason, the smell just doesn't last. I actually order tarts online now, and I burn them when I'm home. Much cheaper, about 50cents per tart, and they last for days. And the tea lights are very cheap too, can get these at the dollar store.
If you're comfortable with burning candles when you're home, I would try that. I order mine from www.missystemptingtarts.com she is very affordable and the scents are great!

Oh, the fire thing with the plug in's have been proven an urban legend. You can check that out on snopes.com

Hope this helps!

Answer 7

Yah, I stopped using them because I couldn't smell any fragrance. The Fabreze plug-in thing works pretty good--it alternates between to scents, so you don't get so used to one smell. If you really want to fill your house with an aroma, buy a Yankee candle and a warmer and use that. The candles are kind of expensive, but with the warmer, they don't burn down. The wax melts and then hardens up again. I think some of the smell is lost, but it's still works better then those darn plug-in deals.

Air fresheners consist of chemicals that can cause headaches and allergic reactions, but they typically don't put out a very large amount of chemical. Since its winter, its also possible that carbon monoxide is leaking into your house - the most common symptom is a headache that seems to occur only when you are in your house. It wouldn't hurt to make sure you are not getting poisoned by carbon monoxide. Ace hardware and Walmart sell carbon monoxide detectors for $30 - $40.

Answer 9

Mine last about 2 weeks or so..they dry up pretty fast..and they are so damn expensive..
I had one in my new apartment and it smelled pretty good ,so i went on a buying rampage of about 6 or 7 of them and put them in every room .
I change mine every 2 weeks.
You can notice the smell if you walk in from the outside ,but if you are in the house,you cannot notice the smell,because you get used to the smell.
Maybe that is the reason.
I noticed the strawberry ones seem to last a little longer.

Answer 10

Glade plug-ins suck. I have the same problem. Maybe try another brand?
