I can't even begin to imagine how many smells and scents we encounter on a daily basis. As I sit here, I wonder what my guests smell when they walk through the door. After all, I'm used to the smells in our home - I'm #Noseblind!
Did you know that noseblindness is a nasal condition where you become accustomed to the odors around you over time? Perfect (but gross) example: a couple of weeks ago there was a skunk in our neighborhood, and the odor was very strong. About 3o minutes later, we no could no longer smell the skunk. We ran into town to run errands and when we opened the door upon returning, it smelled like the skunk was still in our house! Yuck!We live on a dirt road, have two big dogs (mastiffs), a son that wrestles, we bbq on the front deck, and we love to have bonfires in our back yard. Does our house really smell as good as I think it does?
I have always been a fan of Febreze products. Not only do they leave every room in my house smelling fresh and clean - these products truly eliminate the odors! Febreze isn't only for the house - I use them in our camper and all of our vehicles too!
The last thing I want to do is "mask" or cover up odors in our home. I want to be confident that when others walk through our front door, that they won't be hit in the face with unpleasant odors. I want my home to feel fresh, clean and inviting - not only for my own family, but for anyone who visits.
To test our theory, I took the Febreze Noseblind Test and invited a couple friends over for a fun, family movie night. Of course, you can't watch a movie without fresh popcorn! We began our evening by taking individual #noseblind surveys, keeping all of our answers secret.
We each took another online survey after the popcorn had been popped and served. Then another one at the end of the evening after using a variety of Febreze products. I had used a few sprays of Febreze Air Effects and had lit my Febreze candle.
In the end, we all agreed that Febreze left the entire house feeling fresh, clean, and welcoming. The scent was not over-whelming and was very pleasant. What about the popcorn smell that typically lingers for hours... GONE!
I'm confident that Febreze is going to leave my house smelling its best, and that I don't need to worry about welcoming guests with embarrassing odors.
There is a variety of great Febreze products to choose from for every room in the house, and even products made specifically for your vehicle! I guarantee that you are going to find more than one that you love and can't live without.

I learned about adaptation, habituation,and infestation. We live in a small home with two cats. I worry that,even though I can't smell it, others might notice the litterbox.

I have not used Febreze lately but have used it a good bit over the years. It works really well to not just cover odors but to really make the room smell fresh.
I've definitely become noseblind to my husband the plumber, our 3 boys & our cat. We need help! :)
Oh yeah & one thing I learned from the website that's really random is that Febreeze comes in TONS of scents. I had no idea!
The first step in noseblind diagnosis is symptom awareness. If you’re familiar with any of these warning signs, seek treatment immediately.
I learned about odor ODOR INFESTATION. I cook with a lot of spices, so I'm being judged. I need Febreze.
I Learned The Definition Of Noseblind: The gradual acclimation to the smells of one’s home, car, or belongings, in which the affected does not notice them (even though their guests do).

scientifically, going noseblind is 100% real.

i have used Febreze products for many years. My favorite product is the Febreze fabric refresher. i love to spray it on my curtains
Noseblindness is scientific fact (I used to live on a cattle ranch, I didn't need science to tell me you stop smelling it after a while)
The noseblindness concept is so funny! I had never heard of ODOR HABITUATION!! But it probably occurs in our house with 3 dogs. I'd love to try their wax melts in my scentsy

Scientifically speaking, noseblind is 100% real and I must say I really agree! We get used to the smells around us and it becomes our normal.
I use Febreze fabric refresher, I am not even sure of the scent. I think it is original scent.
I think it's a funny name but I have been aware of the fact that we just get used to smells. If I am cooking all day my husband can come in and say it smells good but I can't smell it unless I cleave for a while and come back. I worry about pet smells too because my dogs are smelly.
Yes, I use febreeze. I use the air effects, the candles and the fabric refresher.
I learned that Set&Refresh is good for refreshing small spaces.
This blend of physiological (what your body is telling you), psychological (what your brain decrees), and sociological (what makes your guests judge you) all adds up to one thing: You might just be noseblind.

I Learned The Definition Of Noseblind. It is the gradual acclimation to the smells of one’s home, car, or belongings, in which the affected does not notice them (
Their spray is awesome to use on our dogs beds and furniture. With 3 dogs you have to constantly tackle the animal smell
I'm so afraid my house smells like dogs. The Noseblind site had a lot of interesting information. I didn't know that scientifically, going noseblind is 100% real.
I never heard of being noseblind to certain odors in your home and how it can effect guests. Like I'm sure I'm noseblind to the damp basement odor.

I LEARN ABOUT ODOR INFESTATION. LOVE FEBREEZE
A good way to figure out how your home smells is to see what it smells like after you get back from a vacation.
I have used Febreze fabric refresher. It helped but wasn't overpowering, which was great for us!
My favorite Febreze product is their Air Effects in grapefruit fizz. It always makes my house smell so much better!
I am definitrly noseblind. Ive lived around my boyfriend's cigarette smoke for so long that im blinded to the odors
