One of the ingredients [in K-Mart's knockoff Febreeze] is denatured ethyl alcohol. Denatured ethyl alcohol is EXTREMELY flammable, so PLEASE don't spray throw pillows, etc., and then place them in the clothes dryer, as I was prepared to do this morning!

I think this is a precaution that should be written right on the package.

I called the 1-800 number on the bottle to ask this question, and the operator didn't know the answer, and even though she promised to call me with an answer, it's been 2 hours...I figured I'd better look up the possibly flammable nature of this chemical. Thank goodness I wasn't in a real hurry cleaning, or my clothes dryer might've looked like a lit Sterno.
