I'm surprised

That no company (yet) has embedded an air freshener in a furnace air filter.



My wife if company is coming and the house smells like last nights dinner sprays air freshener or perfume on the furnace filter before they arrive. Even in summer, she just turns on the fan.


You want us all to have to put up with homes that smell like walking into Yankee Candle? It would cause the biggest wave of mass suicides the world has ever seen.

HEY, if that happens consider yourself lucky, my home smells like cheap perfume, with a hint of burnt cabbage.

Stop hiring polish prostitutes!

How about Ode du Brewax with a hint of WD40?

GROSS!...If I want my home to smell like a w**re house, I'd just go there. Why not get your wife to make fresh bread or buns. Burning a few scented candles work good also...but spraying perfume?... Gross!

LOL! My wife is of Eastern European decent. If she ever see's this thread I'll be sleeping on the rec room couch for a month...and it smells like wet dog.

Hmm. Perhaps you should be giving her better perfume. :-)

You let a dog into the house? A wet one, yet?

I agree, but it isn't that bad, Soft Shoulders or some damned thing, sorta baby powdery. Sometimes she sticks a fabric softener dryer sheet in front of the filter. They smell quite nice. But even so, I will be sitting watching TV, minding my own business, when I'm suddenly attacked by an unseen and previously un smelled odor. It can be quite disconcerting. Women eh!

You can buy one at Home Depot to put on your furnace filter.

They work for a few hours and then that is that.

With women, and construction crews, you can't have it all ... and that is that.

All dogs are wet on the inside.

A lot of them smell like couches too.

I've never known anyone to spray a filter, but I do know people that attach laundry dryer sheets to their filters to accomplish the same thing.

My wife lights scented candles to get rid of food smells, especially garlic or fried fish or chicken. I can't convince her that the food smells are preferable :-).

LOL... I am betting that none of the women in your family were looking over your shoulder while entering this response.

I find those braided armpits so sexy!

I thought that couches smelled like dogs????
