The Febreze Air Mist uses a nitrogen-based propellant system, which is a non-flammable alternative to traditional aerosol gases. The seamless aluminum chassis is designed to house a cyclodextrin-based formula that neutralizes odor molecules in the air. This "Heavy Duty Pet" variant contains a higher concentration of fragrance oils specifically for homes with active pets.
Practical Safety & Usage
To maintain the pressure inside the can, it is important to avoid shaking the bottle, as this can cause the nitrogen to escape prematurely. For consistent performance, the trigger should be used while the can is held upright; tilting the unit more than 45 degrees can lead to nozzle blockage or propellant loss. The polypropylene trigger is designed for an ergonomic grip, delivering a fine mist that covers a wide area quickly.

Specifications indicate that the 8.8 oz capacity is intended for room-wide refreshing. Because it uses a natural propellant, it is a preferred choice for indoor air quality compared to butane-based sprays. The fine mist is designed to stay suspended in the air longer, allowing more time for the neutralizing agents to interact with airborne odors.
If you prefer a continuous, passive scent without the need for manual spraying, the Febreze Small Spaces unit provides a consistent release for several weeks.
