We don’t doubt for a minute that you keep your home spic-and-span. But even the sparkliest of clean homes is subject to a rogue odor every now and again. There’s been a veritable explosion of air freshening products in recent years, many of which boast their ability to ‘neutralize’ or ‘remove’ odors altogether.

But before you go on your next Febrezing frenzy, consider that the pleasing scents some of these products leave behind have the potential to significantly reduce your indoor air quality. Common ingredients like phthalates, volatile organic compounds, and ethylene glycol have been linked with reproductive health problems, lung irritation, and cancer.

So how to get rid of household stenches without worrying about safety? Enter Method’s Aroma Pill, $9.99. We’d expect nothing less than the sleek, streamlined look of the plug-in from the ever design-conscious folks at Method. But the real perks of this air freshener aren’t its looks, but its contents – the Aroma Pill relies on a blend of natural essential and safe synthetic oils to create subtle fragrance.

The plug-in uses a negligible amount of energy, but if you’d like to steer clear of using a socket, we’ve got a few alternatives. Check out the brand’s Aroma Ring, which is discreet, minimalist, and plug and battery-free. We’re also fans of Method’s Aroma Sticks and Diffuser, which not only look good, but contain the most natural ingredients since they don’t require any stabilizers, thickeners, or color.

Whew! Breathe easy.
