What is that SMELL!
Dan: I am a college student, and even though I try as hard as possible to stay clean, neat, and organized, sometimes it simply does not happen for me. Between all of my classes going into full overdrive, missing classes for economics team due to traveling, and socializing; carpet soaks and dusting do not make it in the schedule. So, to take care of the problem I continually gift myself a bottle of febreze. It is a great cleaning gift idea because it does not just mask smells that are embedded in clothes, bedding, and carpet but it lifts them out.
Proctor and Gamble has many different products out of the febreze line (there are febreze candles, detergent, spray, aerosal, etc.) and all of them help to freshen up your life a bit. There has been some controversy as to the overall “wellness” factor associated with febreze. Containing many artificially inseminated ingredients it is not exactly “green”. If that is something important to you than do not buy febreze.
Grace: This is definitely a great gift idea for a college student. My room gets so messy and whenever I want to clean it, I have to ask around and literally beg people to borrow their cleaning materials. In addition to febreze products, I would definitely recommend either a broom, small vacuum cleaner, or a swiffer, and probably some anti-bacterial wipes. Even though I don’t spend much time in my room anymore, it’s still nice to come back to a clean living space!
