1. An air treatment chemical dispensing system, comprising:
a first substrate bearing a first volatile air treatment chemical capable of being dispensed from the first substrate when the first substrate is heated;
a second substrate bearing a second volatile air treatment chemical capable of being dispensed from the second substrate when the second substrate is heated;
an indicator unit holding a volatile indicator chemical separate from both the first volatile air treatment chemical and the second volatile air treatment chemical;
wherein the second substrate is in a form of a porous structure stacked over the first substrate and has an opening in the form of an axial pathway;
wherein the indicator unit is stacked over the second substrate; and
wherein the dispensing system is configured such that heat from the first substrate is able to pass through the axial pathway of the second substrate to the indicator unit.
