I have a traditional office with a door, and no windows. Well, sitting around all day filling a cloth chair with various kinds of farts over a perioid of months has led to a lingering odor in my office near my chair. I have a bad sense of smell, so once I detect something, I know I must be offending people when they come in my office.

I'm asking if there are any good ways to freshen up the air in my office? I can't burn candles or incense, and I hate chemically-smelling things. Plus I don't want an overwhelming scent, and definitely not ultra flowry, I'm a guy for god's sake, and I'm not littering my office with potpourii or however the hell you spell it.

Oh also, I'm out of electrical outlets anyway, so don't say glade plugins

Ah, good one, but no good, there is no ventilation in my office, the only air vent is taped up.

I call it a bear cave cuz when I open the door in the morning I detect a dank odor not present in the hall

hhmmm...welllll...i'm not an HVAC tech, but i'd think that having the air vents TAPED UP wouldn't be all that good for removing smells.

why dont you try getting some FRESH AIR in there, first?

no dice, my chair is an awesome ergonomic deal that very few people have. I was lucky to get it cuz I had back pain and i knew people who helped me get an awesome chair.

It's no wonder the place smells if you have no windows and no ventilation! Geez, I couldn't stand sitting in a place like that all day. I would go insane.

yes, that stuff works. i've had my daughter spill pretty much everything on the couch/chairs and i use that stuff every time and they don't smell at all. it's amazing.

Before you leave for the weekend, spray the cushion w/Lysol or some other unscented oder-eater :)

I recently saw a pic of an air freshener hung inside a PC case or put a Stick-Up on the inside of the side cover.
Citrus is not too girlie..
