Every Sports Household Needs This Game-Changing Product For an Instant Refresh
Youth sports are awesome—kids learn teamwork, hustle and how to lose without crying (well, mostly). The games are fun, the jerseys are cute and hey, they're off screens! But it's also a part-time job for parents. There's the endless driving, not to mention the mystery of where the other field is (why is it always so hard to find?). And let's not forget the sports stench.
Because, yes, sweat is a real thing. And sweat combined with grimy practice uniforms and mud-covered cleats is a really gross cocktail of odors. Seriously, no amount of cleaning can completely get rid of the youth sports smell.I've been hesitant to use a fabric spray during even the gnarliest of soccer seasons because I always worry it will blend with the existing odors, not actually take care of them. And then you basically have perfumed sweat stank, which might even be worse than the original odor problem. But then I finally waved the white flag, surrendering to the pull of the fabric spray shelf of the cleaning aisle.
Honestly, I wish I hadn't waited so long. Febreze Touch Fabric Spray has really been a game-changer in my house. I use it on our couch, the kids' soccer bags and pretty much anything upholstered in the bedroom that my teen sons share. It isn't overpowering at all, which I like. But it does smell fresh and clean (I've been using the Ocean scent) without seeming like its trying too hard.
And if an Ocean fragrance isn't your vibe, there's also Mountain (with notes of alpine, wildflower and cedar) and Fresh (think crisp and airy) available.
Apparently I'm not the only person who has gone all-in on this spray. Every review on of the product sounded like it could have been me. I see you, fellow Febreze family."I like this fabric spray," said one Walmart shopper. "I feel like it's a more lightweight and less headache-inducing version than the usual fabric sprays. Sometimes they can give a bit of an allergy because it's strong. I like this because it gives you the scent, in a less intense version. I love the ocean scent, it's unisex but very watery, crisp, fresh, airy, etc. The touch version is a more 'comfy' version than the plugin I have of this scent."
So, there you have it, you don't just need to take my word for it. And, for the record, I already have another bottle for our minivan because that poor car takes a beating going to and from games and practices. Now it can smell just a little fresher.
