[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wealthier people like myself tend to favor unscented products. This includes detergents.

I suspect part of the reason is that we can afford professional cleaning services, so we tend not to have odors in our day-to-day lives that require ,asking by perfumes.

You don’t see a lot of Glade Plug-Ins or Yankee candles in finer homes.[/quote]

My eyes just rolled out of my head. What a window into the psyche of privileged know nothings. This person actually believes that poor people smell because they can’t afford to be clean. Jesus.[/quote]

DP. It’s more that throughly cleaning your home regularly requires either a lot of time (which the working poor don’t have) and physical exertion (which the working poor and the disabled can’t spare) or outsourcing to others ($$$). I can pinpoint when my mom’s cancer treatments kicked in because my childhood home started to smell. First like cooking and then, just an overall    dusty, greasy bad smell. I tried my best to clean and nothing was “dirty”, but my mom used to wet mop the floors every night and air the house out for hours on Saturday. We had floor to ceiling windows but she would wash the curtains once a week. And beat out the rugs weekly. I couldn’t do all that and we didn’t have the money for decent food, let alone a cleaner.

Later, as a poor adult, I lived in an apartment building where everyone’s odors of daily living were inescapable. Not just smoking and stale beer. If someone had cabbage or fried fish for dinner, we all smelled it for days. There were garbage, cat pee, and dog poop smells wafting up from the alley. I felt like these smells clung to my hair and clothing all day.
