Yesterday I added twice as much Febreze to the Swamp Cooler...
water reservoir (approx. 2/3-cup this time) vs. the amount I used the first time. The smell was a bit more pronounced, but not overpowering. Unfortunately it did not seem to last any longer the second time than it did the first, so I'm going to mark this as a bust...works temporarily, but doesn't last any longer than if the product was sprayed indoors, as it was intended to be used.
It was worth a shot, sounded like a good thing to try.
ReplyDeleteYes, I was surprised that it did not last any longer than it did. When I mix up Lysol concentrate in water to make a spray cleaner it uses 1-2 teaspoons in a quart of water, and the Lysol smell is very strong in that mixture in a spray bottle for a month or two -- so I was hoping the smell of the Febreze would remain in the swamp cooler for at least a few days at a time before needing refreshing...oh well, no big deal.
