I wouldn't use a candle, but Febreze has an allergen reducer spray that also works well for removing odors even though there's no long lasting lingering scent to it at all.. As a pp mentioned, if someone used Lysol, I'd be in a world of trouble..
We just stayed at ASMo the end of October and our room smelled fantastic! I would love for my whole house to smell like that but the cleaning woman I spoke with told me it was a commercial cleaning product and I wouldn't be able to find it.
I would never use anything in a hotel room that would leave a lingering scent that may bother another guest. Please be very considerate of other people, even if there isn't an allergy issue, they may not like the same scent that you do, and wouldn't appreciate their room smelling that way.
Please, please, please, don't use any of this stuff in your hotel room.
You may not notice any lingering scent, but if you use these things all of the time, you WOULDN'T notice.
I have severe allergies and asthma. Anything like that can make me have a severe attack.
I have never felt the need to fresh the smell of a hotel room but I AM glad I read this post because I would not have thought about it negatively affecting others. So thank you for posting about the issues that fresheners/sprays can cause. I will always remember what I read here
If you really want to freshen the smell of your hotel room, please use a air spray or one of the solid room scents. Open flames are a fire hazard. Please don't use candles.
