PG,
I remember the post, and I promptly when out to investigate these so-called \"fabric freshners\" -- the spray on kind.
What I found was a plethora of different \"spray this on smell clothing, beds, etc.\" and they\'ll smell just like they\'re freshly laundered.
Initially, I though this a good idea, but upon examining the list of ingredients on a number of these products, I found that most had a \"oder neutralizing\" agent of some kind.
Since pheros work both at a consious level (e.g., the BO or cat pee smell) and unconsious level, I concluded that the neutralizing agents might break the pheros active components for the unconsious level as well as the consious level.
To test this, I took a shirt that my wife easily detected PI on and sprayed it with one of these \"fabric freshners\". After a couple/few hours of drying, my wife could no longer detect the PI oder, but also she didn\'t really react to the shirt\'s \"new smell\" either.
Also, since washing clothing can destroy pheros, I figured that the \"neutralizing agents\" could also.
Just my thoughts...
