I've recently made the switch to buying air fresheners from GLADE, and I'm really happy with my decision. The brand offers some amazing products that are free from harsh chemicals like phthalates and CFCs. I used to grab cheaper sprays, but they were loaded with chemicals that made my nose feel stuffy. One of those 'Magic' air fresheners from a local brand caught my eye, and I loved the coffee scent. However, I was disappointed to find that it didn't do a great job of eliminating bad smells.
I'm not even going to mention those cheap air fresheners that cost 30-40 rubles. They're just not worth it, and they leave behind a weird residue after use. Now, I'm not even looking in that direction because GLADE offers a much better value for money.
So, GLADE is now my go-to brand for air fresheners. Plus, the price of one air freshener is up to 200 rubles. I recently got one on sale at МАГНИТ for 139 rubles, and I think it's an amazing price for such a product!
It's definitely the number one brand in my book. I used to buy Аир Вик, but now it's way more expensive. They're pretty similar to GLADE, though. My new favorite scents are Lazur Waves and Magnolia.
GLADE offers a long-lasting clean scent that really works. I'll tell you more about it below.
I have to say, there's a lot of text on the bottle, but I'm not exactly a fan of reading labels.
I've been checking the ingredients on my kid's products lately, but with GLADE, I didn't have any issues. No allergic reactions whatsoever.
The precautions on the label are a must-read for little ones, but my toddler is still too young to understand. I make sure to spray the air freshener high up so my son can't reach it.
I'm really enjoying the scent of Lazur Waves and Magnolia - it's so light, gentle, and floral.
The dosing mechanism is super convenient - it's never broken on me, unlike those cheap air fresheners for the bathroom.
The expiration date is clearly marked at the bottom of the bottle.
I've found that 300ml is enough for a family of three, including a toddler, to last a month. But let's be real, it depends on how you use it. I don't spray after every bathroom trip, thanks to the exhaust fan. But I do use it 1-2 times a day. And when something's burning on the stove, GLADE definitely comes to the rescue. I love that one spritz can knock out a nasty smell.
Yes, I've got a whole arsenal of air fresheners. I'm not going to go into details, but I'm showing you my favorites. However, I wasn't a fan of the 'fresh laundry' scent from GLADE. At first, I liked it, but then it seemed like the smell was stale. Next time, I'll stick to a different scent. You can probably tell it's been sitting under the sink for a while.
But I do love the GLADE (Indonesian sandalwood) air freshener. This one doesn't contain phosphates or chlorines.
I also really like the GLADE (ocean) air freshener. It's a great scent!
I like to mix up the scents to avoid getting bored. When one starts to feel too familiar, I switch to something else.
I've got to say, the 'After the Rain' pink scent from Glade is a total winner for me. I use it all the time. There have been times when someone's been smoking in the hallway and the smell wafts into my apartment. A quick spritz and it's like a breath of fresh air!
Unfortunately, I didn't spot it on the shelf this time around. I would've grabbed 5-6 of them if I had seen it. This scent is so homey - it's perfect for the bathroom, bedroom, or even the whole house! It's got a light, perfumy quality to it, which makes it a great alternative if you're tired of strong-smelling products. Of course, it doesn't smell like rain, but it's all about the floral notes. It's a fun twist, right?
I'm really loving the design, nozzle, and scent of this product! What more could you ask for? And let's be real - I'm not looking to break the bank on air fresheners. For me, anything over 200 rubles per can is a bit too pricey.
Of course, scent preferences are subjective, so I've shared my own favorites. If you're still unsure about which scent to choose, these reviews can definitely help you make up your mind. I tend to trust Arreykomend reviews over other websites, to be honest.
So here's the lowdown on Glade's 'After the Rain' and 'Lazur' scents:
Fresh scents that really work;Erases stinky smells like a pro;No allergic reactions to worry about;No phosphates in sight;Just 1-2 spritzes to banish that musty smell;Great value for the price;Easy to find in any store;Awesome selection of scents to suit any taste.
I haven't found any downsides. I've used it, I'm still using it, and I'll keep using it as long as the quality stays this good.
I'm a big fan of the Glade air freshener in 'Sea Breeze' and 'Magnolia' - I give it 5 stars and I'd definitely recommend it!
