What might be the consequence of over-fogging petroleum-based deodorants in a confined area?

Over-fogging petroleum-based deodorants in a confined area can lead to the fallout of oily residue. This is primarily because petroleum-based products are designed to coat surfaces with a thin film, and when they are excessively applied in an area with limited ventilation, the oversaturation can occur. As the fog settles, it may leave behind an oily residue on various surfaces, which can attract dirt and dust and create a sticky environment. This residue requires additional cleaning efforts to remove and can lead to persistent odor issues if not addressed properly. Understanding the behavior of the materials used in deodorization is crucial for effective and safe application, especially in confined spaces where ventilation is compromised.
