 Since I have a couple of turbopowers I bought these "vintage" Hoover air fresheners off eBay in the "Spring Bouquet" fragrance, as you can see they originally sold for £1.49. The guy who sold them to me sent me three packs of the disk air fresheners (I only expected to receive one disk pack.) He also sent me free of charge (not including the three Hoover disk freshener packs) five packs of Electrolux "perfumed air conditioning tablets" which was very nice of him. Both the Hoover fresheners and the Electrolux fresheners smell like the 90's, my mum did have a Hoover turbopower freedom and Electrolux contour in the 90's so maybe that is why I remember the sent. Like I said, I chose the "Spring Bouquet" Hoover fresheners but I am not sure what the Electrolux tablet sent is, it smells like roses, or old ladies perfume.

Ahhh spring bouquet! my nan had a Hoover Compact in the 80s and 90s. Brings back so many memories when I get a whiff of them. Amazing how many of them have survived so long after they stopped making them. | ||

I got some of these as well. He had a listing of one of each for £3, bought 4 lots! The flat has never smelt so clean! | ||

These fresheners are much more efficient than the tabs you put into the bag because the ones in the bag get covered with dust and dirt and lose the ability for any air borne fragrance to get to the outside world.
With those ones they go into the exhaust grille and as such remain clean and able to convey a lovely scent. As I said, I should really buy some. | ||

I imagine they are becoming rare now, I'm certainly going to leave some of mine sealed up | ||

Electrolux Air fresheners The original UK ones were apparently, a stiff circular, white plastic grid. Then they became sachets of granules, like a small teabag, with "Gardenia" fragrance. | ||
