Peckish, you bring up a good point about concentration. After a while, the impact of many sheets could be too intense. (I put bounce sheets in my car to prevent mice while it is stored for the winter, and in spring...whew! I smell like a laundry mat when I drive it for a while!)

I would think the poster is hopefully talking about the used ones? That way the smell is a non-issue?
Unsure....

Well. By the 10th or 11th leaf, the scent from the used dryer sheets was making me nauseous, and I am not sensitive to chemicals and scents. I abandoned the dryer sheets and went with a wash-away product.
