Household Fresheners - Aspirational fragrance or faking it?
More than four in ten adults have an air freshener on hand in the bathroom, but there is a strong preference to open the window rather than use air fresheners.
Households with cats, dogs or caged birds are significantly more likely than average to use household fresheners or scented candles in order to mask unpleasant pet smells.
17 million homes use household fresheners although the recession has seen people cut out spend on unnecessary items and household fresheners were used in 300,000 fewer households in 2009 compared to 2007.
