febreeze antimicrobial?

Does anyone know if Febreeze Antimicrobial is actually disinfecting? It says it kills "99.9% of odor-causing bacteria"...but what about 99.9% of bacteria in general?

    Yes I do know.

    It does not do any disinfecting.

    Now I'll give you the resources to understand and check these things for yourself:

    an easy, but rather complete short course can be found at Wiki:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disinfectant

    Then when you want to know the ingredients list, safety of, and compare products - The National Institutes of Health "Household Products Database"; I think it's consumer friendly.

    Now how's that for an answer.

    May I please have a treat?

    Hmm, you are just creating a survival of the fittest with antimicrobial products. They kill all bacteria indiscriminately, including the good helpful ones. So, probably they kill 99.9 percent of the bacteria, but do you really want that .1% that hasn't been killed? Survival of the fittest.
