Would this remove febreze perfume odor from a couch?

Febreze is a highly toxic product (I ended up nearly dead from this class of chemicals) The pharmaceutical companies make many of these products (most all and from industrial to household, persona) Here is the MSDS and other information. One way to remove this as another suggested is a professional cleaner that extracts such molecules with some form of oxygen or ozone (they "adhere" for a long time, including in the brain and other areas of the body - the body can not synthesize them nor break them down so they are stored in adipose - fat, tissue and other areas) "Fragrance" usually means left over petroleum sludge (what no body else in industry wants, see any plant such as Valero energy and see where the oil goes - "fragrance industry" so it's like splashing gas on your person or in your air - slowly poisoning you. Febreze is classified as an air freshner, created by Proctor & Gamble. It reports to work by "trapping" odor molecules in a donut-shaped chemical.The first thing that is really important to understand: the product does not remove odor molecules and it doesn't clean the item it comes into contact with.The odor molecules are still there. Your nose just can't perceive them because you smell the chemical product instead.That alone should be your first warning. We know inhalation of any chemicals is dangerous, and several of its ingredients listed below are known to irritate the lungs...but this is a chemical whose entire purpose is to be inhaled!Unfortunately there is not much data being shared on Febreze and their many products, but the Environmental Working Group (EWG) did conduct a test for the ingredients of one of their products, Febreze Air Effects.Shockingly, P&G only disclosed THREE ingredients in this product, but the EWG...they found 87 chemicals in total!Now this is just one Febreze product, but the fact that only 3 ingredients were disclosed and that so many undisclosed ingredients are dangerous, it's safe to assume that their other air freshners are just as dangerous.Febreze IngredientsGreen Your CleanBelow you'll find a list of just some of the 87 chemicals found by the EWG in Febreze Air Effects, listed in order of their toxicity to humans: BHT - Known as a neurotoxin, endocrine disruptor, immunotoxicity, non-reproductive organ system toxicity, skin eye and lung irritator Acetaldehyde - Known to cause cancer, toxic to reproduction and development, immunotoxin, non-reproductive organ system toxin, skin, eye and lung irritator "Fragrance" - One of the three ingredients actually disclosed, it's a neurotoxin, immunotoxin and allergen Propylene Glycol - Causes cancer, allergies, toxic to immune system, accumulates in the system, non-reproductive organ system toxin, is classified with "enhanced skin absorption" and irritates the skin, eye and lung 1,3-Dichloro-2-propanol - Carcinogenic (causes cancer) Limonene - Allergen, immunotoxin and skin, eyes and lung irritator Methyl pyrrolidone - Toxin to reproduction and development, allergen and immunotoxin, non-reproductive organ system toxin and skin, eyes and lung irritator Alcohol denatured - Also disclosed in the ingredients of Febreze, it's linked to cancer, developmental/reproductive toxicity, organ system toxicity and skin, eyes and lung irritator Butylphenyl methylpropion al - allergen, immunotoxin and and skin, eyes and lung irritator Ethyl acetate - linked to developmental/reproductive toxicity, neurotoxicity, organic system toxicity and and skin, eyes and lung irritator Geraniol - Linked to allergies, immunotoxicity, organi system toxicity and and skin, eyes and lung irritation Linalool - allergen, immunotoxin, and and skin, eyes and lung irritator Benzaldehyde - neurotoxin, and skin, eyes and lung irritator Diethylene glycol monoethyl ether - non-reproductive organ system toxicity Ethylhezanol - developmental and reproductive toxin and skin, eyes and lung irritator Hexyl cinnamal - allergen, immunotoxin and skin, eyes and lung irritator And way too many more....You can find the EWG's full report on the dangers of Febreze and other common cleaners here.

what are the ingredients?

it is all natural stuff. The tubs contain a citrus/pine resin and water. This results in a clear slightly sticky to the touch Jell-o like cubes. These do not stain, but if some falls in your sink while doing dishes, they expand to epic proportions (but still maintain the jello-like consistancy) and are non-toxic (a bonus because i have a dog) a total spill of contents can be resloved with a dust pan and a damp cloth. The spray is similar in composition but I think the ingredients read 'essense of' the same citrus rind/pine resin. it does neutralize odors very well, I had some smokers visit and couldnt get the smoke smell out of my closets, I threw a tub in there and closed the door. 3 hours later I checked and the closet was good as new. If inhaled up close has a very fresh woodsy smell, but this product does not 'generate' odor. it is truly a neutral element in the room.

Does this remove the smell from my shoes? Cause that smell is...pungent.

Not really, for shoes you want an antibacterial spray, something to kill the underlying source of the odor. This product is better for temporary smells.

Will this product eliminate - completely cigarette odor from car?

Nothing will 'eliminate-completely cigarette odor from a car'. Even this excellent product will only mask such (imbedded) odors. You may be more successful creating an acceptable environment by using a Fresh Wave time release product like their beads.
