I was reading a book about habits and came across the bit about Febreeze (summarized by the author in wired: https://www.wired.com/2012/02/your-habi ... l-know-it/) originally not catching on because it killed all odors but had no scent of it's own.

Today I wanted to kill a funky smell from one guitar I grabbed. Febreeze killed the funk. And because it has no odor it doesn't smell like I'm trying to cover anything up.

Good article. So, all this info, all these internet and social media places collect, they will be able to make you spend money on their product and you won't even know you are being manipulated. Well, they are doing this now. I watched a guy at work looking at Amazon (prime days) and he was just browsing, ready to buy something that he didn't need.

I've always thought Fabreeze smelled similar to dryer sheets.

I always had Febreeze for my hockey gear.

I also used it to get rid of cigarette smell from a gig bag that came with an LPJ I bought from Guitar Center used.

It works wonders.

@Flatline The book says it was originally scentless and didn't catch on. As an air freshner it's becomes a habit for some users (e.g., perhaps something they use periodically). I bought the no scent version because I have allergies to some scents and because I don't want to make a guitar smell like perfume.

@mozz I buy pedals from you that I don't "need". LOL. I did actually grab a mini desktop from a lightning deal. That I do actually need (for work no less!).
