I no longer use any fragranced body products or laundry detergents or softeners nor candles or incense or room sprays or fabric sprays - it’s all an insult to your precious lungs.

Vinegar is a great natural deodorizer and the actual vinegar scent quickly dissipates. Washing soda is excellent to deodorize and soften laundry. For really tough bathroom odors a medical grade deodorizing spray like ByeByeOdor is best.

This is some serious health anxiety, and should be dismissed as such.

Do 10 minutes of research and let us know if you still think that.

Have you been living under a rock?

Get the oil of the scent you like and dab it on your home air filters. It smells great and you don't have the risks or maintenance of the "systems" you could buy. You do have to do it about once a week.

This is incredibly bad for you. Do not do this.

Yuck! Don’t do that. Can’t stand these fake smells. Just keep your house clean, air it out, etc.

As a migraine and allergy sufferer, I would hate that.

No, it is not. You are apparently unfamiliar with the yearly death rate from air pollution globally including significant numbers in USA. Our lungs are constantly under assault in most USA environments even some rural places you’d think would have clean air do not. Adding assaults to the lungs indoors beyond the ones present via offgassing from textiles of various kinds and shedding microplastics from our clothing and bedding and furnishings is just foolish. Fragrances are largely unregulated because they are proprietary and so we have no idea what we are slathering on our skin and breathing into our lungs when we use scented body products or laundry detergents that leave residue in fabrics that touch our skin all day and night.

There have been actual extensive clinical studies on the effects of these products on breathing both in folks with no diagnosis and folks representing the large number who have asthma and other lung issues.

A home can smell clean and fresh without use of scented chemical crap in the air and on the textiles. A regular cleaning regime keeps odors from happening so heavy perfumes are unnecessary. Such a home is also much more inviting to the great many people who suffer scent sensitivity due to breathing issues, neurological issues, migraines, etc.

Not sure why you are so befuddled by this. It's not a terribly uncommon thing. Not OP.

Would you even smell it, once olfactory fatigue sets in?

Good lord no. I wouldn't want extra toxins in the air.

Just keep a clean house and then there is no need for trying to cover up smells.

I posted about this about a month ago and didn't get much info other than to use room diffusers.

Just bought my first home and I’ve always wanted to get one of those and have it smell like a Maceys. However, Im doing research before I take the plunge has anyone done it? And also what are some other things I should look at for my first home?
