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.

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

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.

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.

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

When vacuuming I place a couple of drops of vanilla essence on the filter. The whole house smells nice and fresh John

Reminds me of a story my stepdad told me. His first wife told him that she would be good in one room of the house. Kitchen, living room, bathroom, bedroom. They went out a lot and hired a maid.

My wife does that as well but she just sucks up a fresh dryer sheet into the vac.

Since I'm a bachelor, I can get away with a drop or two of my Old Spice after shave lotion on the bag. Another way is with a few drops of essential oil (lemon, lavender, whatever ya got) in an old, rinsed Febreeze bottle filled with water. 20 drops makes a quart of nice, non-chemical air freshener which doesn't leave a buildup on furniture, clothes, floors, or carpets.

Email your idea to Johnson's Way in Racine. I'm sure we'll one day see such a product.

I wish I'd gotten the same offer. I'd have made the same choice.

I know folks who buy the hang from the rear view mirror in the car air fresheners and hang them in front of the furnace filter
