I have learned that the amount of toxic chemicals used to make things flame retardent are extremely dangerous and are absorbed through the skin. My son had a blood test done showing the amount of toxic chemicals and when I asked the doctor how he got some of the chemicals he said it is from the absorbtion of the chemicals of flame retardent fabrics. Many of the chemicals are neurotoxins and have severly damaged many individuals including my son who has autism.

Fabric softeners may not be your favorite solution, if you are sensitive to the chemical compounds in softeners or if you simply don't want more chemicals floating about your house. I do, however, find that baking soda, herbal extracts and oils and other organic/innocuous materials work as well as any Glade or Renuzit product. I also find that it is nearly impossible if not totally impossible to prevent exposure to these chemicals, and clothing is flammable anyhow. Don't test that statement, please! :) I do understand, however, minimizing exposure, and I totally second saving money on little frou frou things like air freshners, which I enjoy, personally, but hate to waste 4 or more dollars buying.

THANKS!!!! I really didn't want to use fabric softener and your vinegar mix was just the ticket. Now my family room smells much better. Robin, I used your deodoriser on my sofa and it worked great.
