I'd look at essential oil, reed diffusers as an alternative. I never really got on with the plugin ones, but I'm paranoid about plugging things in that heat up. |

My main concern is with pugged in fresheners filling the air with potential carcinogens. |

"Which is the best?
Wouldn't prefer to burn essential oils instead "
I am clumsy and unattended fire on the hallway floor seems like asking for trouble :p
In the rooms i use the cheap Primark diffusers as they smell good.
Bur the hall and landing sont have any tables/furnature so a litrle plug in would be ideal |

Its fine the illegal in most industries carcinogens i work with will overwhelm the airfreshener.
Thats if the heart attack from my high colesterol and blood pressure doesnt get me first.
Or an unobservent driver on the school run.
Does the fabreese one work like the spray and take odour out too?
The carpets are quite thick pile and i notice if i cook something like a slowcook curry the smell can hang around for ages |

"I once saw a dado rail that had the varnish stripped away by the plug in air freshener just below it. The chemicals caused it, not the heat.
Put me off them tbh, plus they make me sneeze."
You can take the paint off a new build with water and a sponge, doesnt mean water is poisonous means its water based paint, just like that dado rail was oil based paint |

If it was just oil in them you MAY have a point. There is formaldehyde and a plethora of other less than pleasant chemicals used in them. The ones that striped the paint where likely the industrial solvents such as toluene and xylene. I'm not particularly worried about the chemicals as I come across the same or worse on a regular basis but that doesn't mean I want them pumping into my house 24/7. Nor do I want them stripping the paint of the woodwork. I fucking hate painting  |

The plug in ones make my head ache and my throat hurt. If I go to a house that uses them I have to ask the host to turn them off.
I can tolerate diffusers and I like essential oils and scented candles. |
