Consumer Critique: Febreze Sport

I recently received a sample of Febrezer Sport Extreme Odor Eliminator and a branded gym bag in exchange for a product review.

First off, I have never been terribly impressed with all Febreze products. My impressions of it were that it was too perfumey and a product more for older people, not me. However, I was willing to give this a try. My husband works out frequently after work, and it's hard to wash the bag that he carries his stuff in, so it has pretty big odor potential. So do our skates and other workout gear.

I was pleasantly surprised by the scent. I thought it would be overpowering - after all, it is designed for major odors. But instead of smelling perfumey, it was actually pleasantly fresh. It had the same type of odor as a citrus cleaner, although it wasn't really a citrusy smell. It does seem to do more than just mask the smell, too. I work part-time at an ice rink, and I can definitely say that there are a lot of hockey players there who would benefit from this product - and so would any of my readers, if they have problems with stinky gym apparel and gear.
