Air Fresheners & Deodorizers

Air fresheners available at Staples can boost the feel of any space with a wide variety of scents. Learn more below!

How Do Air Fresheners Work?

Air fresheners are liquids that evaporate under pressure when sprayed into the air, spreading their fresh scent throughout the room. Some room air fresheners also provide a disinfectant component, ridding an area of bacteria and providing pleasant ambiance simultaneously.

What Are the Benefits of Using an Air Freshener?

Air fresheners eliminate odors and deodorize large and small spaces. A variety of styles are available, such as plug-ins and sprays, to neutralize odors in cars, homes, schools and workspaces.

Disinfectant deodorizers help eliminate viruses and bacteria from soft and hard surfaces, leaving a pleasant scent behind. This is useful in high-traffic areas to help reduce the spread of germs.

Like office decor or wall art, air fresheners are important to create a pleasant atmosphere in a space. Choose from a wide variety of room freshener scents to match the mood you want to encourage. Some even include a soft light that adds a sense of calm to everyone nearby.

What Types of Room Air Fresheners Are Available?

Air fresheners are available in a variety of styles with specific uses. Find out which one is right for you below.

Spray Fresheners

Bottled spray and aerosol fresheners are great for spaces that don’t need long-term scents and steady release. A quick spritz will brighten up the room and give it a clean scent. This air freshener’s small size means it can be placed anywhere, like on a window sill or on top of paper towel holders and dispensers.

Spray air room fresheners are the most common type to contain disinfectants, allowing users to target zones that need sanitizing. They’re also suitable when you want a concentrated area of effect without overwhelming the whole room.

Automatic Room Fresheners

Automatic room freshener dispensers release bursts of refreshing and invigorating aromas throughout the day. The convenient fresheners use refillable cartridges that are easy to install. Each cartridge lasts for up to three months when placed on a low setting.

Durable and lightweight plug-in models have combination scents for day and evening use. The wall units switch between two scented oils and provide alternate aromas for you to enjoy.

Bead Air Fresheners

Decorative jars of plant-based gel beads neutralize airborne odors with essential oils for up to 60 days. The gel beads are usually safe to use around pets and children, but always read product labels to ensure safety.

Alternative Space Fresheners

Consider compact, lightweight, 2-ounce adhesive discs that secure to flat surfaces easily inside mudrooms, bathrooms, laundry bins and other tiny spaces for freshness that lasts for up to 30 days.

This kind of air freshener is available in a variety of applications for small areas such as closets and laundry rooms, but also works well inside vehicles for a long-lasting and pleasant aroma that complements any road trip.

How Do Room Fresheners Prevent the Spread of Germs?

Disinfectant sprays kill germs on contact and work on fabrics, hard surfaces, furniture and more. Use them to help prevent the spread of infection in homes, offices, schools and high-traffic areas like gymnasiums and cafeterias. Health facilities and hospitals purchase disinfectant air fresheners and multipurpose cleaning wipes in bulk to promote a clean and sterile environment for patrons and patients.
