Breathe easy with this guide to the best eco-friendly air freshener brands, that will banish bad odours, but won’t fill your home with noxious chemicals.
Whilst nothing beats opening up your windows and letting a fresh breeze in to clear any stale or lingering smells, sometimes you might want something a little more to clear the air. Particularly if you live somewhere where your bathroom has no window, or you have a stinky shoe cupboard. Sometimes you do need a little something extra to freshen things up a bit.
Before you reach for that can of air freshener under your sink, take heed. Many conventional air fresheners do contain a litany of dubious ingredients. In fact, public health researchers have found that a chemical compound found in many air fresheners – as well as toilet cleaners, mothballs and other heavily scented products – may be harmful to our lungs.
The good news for your nose (and lungs) is that there are many eco-friendly air freshener brands out there. These can help to mask or remove bad odours naturally without harmful ingredients. I’ve rounded up my favourites for you to help you out!
The Eco-Friendly Air Freshener Brands To Know
Here are some top natural picks to try in your home – including the plastic-free options.
Fais Botanicals
Naturally refresh your home and textiles with Fais home and linen mist (£15 for 50 ml at Etsy). From relaxing ylang-ylang, bergamot and cedarwood; to refreshing geranium, lemon and clary sage; to energising sweet orange, palmarosa, and rosemary, there’s a scent for every mood.
These blends, available in a variety of essential oil-based scents are vegan and cruelty-free and hand-blended in small batches in the Fais studio in London.
Presented in an amber glass bottle, this can be reused or recycled when you are done.
Waft
Waft (£5.02 for a 100 ml bottle at Ethical Superstore or Big Green Smile) is a more budget-friendly brand of eco-friendly air freshener for a sustainably fragranced home.
Made in the UK from pure and organic essential oil blends, Waft comes in a variety of delicious natural scents. These include Lemongrass, Lavender, Peppermint, Geranium, Orange and Rose. In fact, each air freshener is made from 98.5% organic ingredients.
Whilst not plastic-free, the plastic bottles are fully recyclable. And sustainability-wise, the brand has a lot going for it. Aerosol-free, vegan-friendly, cruelty-free, palm oil-free, and free of genetically modified organisms, it’s clear that Waft has put a great deal of work into minimising its environmental footprint.
Piglet In Bed
Whether you want to freshen your air, or naturally refresh fabrics, this eco-friendly air freshener from Piglet In Bed (£19 for 100 ml) is one to try. Available in three different scents – invigorating, calming or reviving – you can pick a scent to suit your mood.
Naturally scented with essential oils, this paraben-free and artificial fragrance-free formulation, will banish bad odours.
Simply generously mist the air freshener throughout the air and onto linens to enjoy the fresh natural scent.
Sodasan
Sodasan’s organic air freshener (£8.49 for 50 ml from Big Green Smile) is another room spray to check out. Made from sustainable and eco-friendly ingredients, this air freshener is 96% organic in origin.
Coming in a variety of scents – including lavender, fresh orange, and woody-smelling sandal – these essential oil blends are a great way to naturally cover bad odours in your home.
This vegan-friendly blend is also free from synthetic nasties. These include dyes, preservatives, synthetic fragrances, petrochemicals, microplastics, and genetically modified organisms.
What’s more, it comes in a recyclable glass bottle and a plastic-free beech wood cap.
Valentte London
My sister bought me a Valentte London gift set for Christmas, and it contained this delicious-smelling organic room spray (£7.20 for 30 ml at Valentte London). I’ve found it makes my house smell naturally amazing, without a hint of anything synthetic or artificial.
Valentte London’s entire home fragrance range is based on a range of aromatherapy oils carefully blended to deliver different therapeutic qualities to help your health and well-being. As such, this spray is fragranced with pure organic essential oils.
What’s also to love is that the bottle is made of glass and the atomiser is made of metal, making it more eco-friendly. It’s also made in England, so doesn’t travel far to reach you.
Bramley
Finally, Bramley’s eco-friendly air freshener (£18 for 100 ml at Bower Collective) is scented with delicious sweet orange, geranium, and spearmint essential oil, for a natural and refreshing-smelling scent.
Made from 100% naturally derived ingredients in the UK, this room spray is vegan-friendly and cruelty-free. It also comes in a recyclable glass bottle, making it it’s plastic-free apart from the atomiser.
Not only does this room spray smell good, but it does good too. This is because £1 from every sale goes to support the work of Plantlife. This British-based conservation charity works nationally and internationally to save threatened wildflowers, plants and fungi. Their team of conservation experts work with landowners, businesses, conservation organisations, community groups and governments, to ensure rare and threatened flowers and plants continue to thrive.
