From the AEGIS e-Journal, Volume 14 Number 4, April 2011
Febreze. An odd review – agreed…. One weekend we went camping and all of the food waste was dropped into a Glad ForceFlex 13 gal bag with OderShield with Febreze freshness. There was significant waste in the bad from several chicken dinners – bones, paper towels loaded with chicken fat from cleaning up the dutch ovens, etc… The bag, with all of the waste, was tossed into the back of the SUV. One young boy commented – I can smell Febreze – a young man with a good nose no doubt. When we retuned home the bag of waste was placed at the back gate to take to the dumpster in the alley – and was left their all night. In the am – there was significant damage to the bag from the neighborhood cats – but no penetration of the bag. So on the scenting – fools humans noses but not that of cats, but it did – for awhile – foil the cat’s claws. Note, the litter on the ground by the bag are leaves not contents… Well- done Glad. 7.
