Febreze ONE was created for those who typically don’t consider air fresheners while shopping either due to unfavorable past experiences or because of a desire to avoid items with harsh chemicals and overwhelming scents. But with no aerosols, no dyes and no heavy perfumes and with the same odor elimination power as other Febreze products, Febreze ONE enables even the most sensitive sniffers to breathe happy. The product’s unique two-in-one formula gently cleans away odors in the air and on fabrics with nature-inspired, single-note scents in Mandarin, Orchid and Bamboo and contains a misting sprayer technology that leaves behind nothing but a light, simple freshness.

“Everyone is faced with odor problems in their home, but at Febreze we recognize many folks haven’t been able to find an air freshener that works well for them,” said Guerin McClure, Associate Brand Director, North America and Global Air Care at Procter & Gamble. “When we developed Febreze ONE, we knew we wanted to provide those people with a high-quality product that they would enjoy using in their homes. We are honored that Febreze ONE has been selected as a 2018 Product of the Year Award winner by those for whom we developed it – consumers themselves.”

For over thirty years, Product of the Year has guided consumers to the best products on the market across 37 countries, while rewarding manufacturers for quality and innovation. Each year, Product of the Year takes entries from new consumer products launched within the previous year that demonstrate advancement within their industry. Product nominations are placed into categories including beauty, personal care, household essentials, food and beverage, pet care, etc., and are assessed on seven key measures. One product is named the winner of each category, based on the results of the consumer survey.

“In a saturated landscape filled with so many product launches and claims, Product of the year aims to guide consumers as they seek out the best items on the market. This year, a record number of products entered to compete for the winning spot in their respective categories. With the help of 40,000 consumers nationwide, we are excited to honor these winners,” said Mike Nolan, CEO of Product of the Year. ”Product of the Years’ distinctive red seal of approval, continues to help shoppers find the best new products on the shelves and give the winners a well-earned competitive advantage. We congratulate Febreze as Febreze ONE takes the top honor in the Air Care category.”
