Febreze

Spray away smells

Febreze is a brand of household odor-eliminating spray, used on fabrics, upholstery, and in the air.

The name has become somewhat generic for any fabric freshener: Just Febreze the couch before they get here.

As a verb, to Febreze something is to spray it to mask or neutralize smells rather than clean properly.
