Thank you for the advice. I have major scent--issues and more allergies than I care to comment on. I could not even use the phone books because of the ink. My mom washes her sheets w/bleech as do many folks. I cannot sleep on them or the pillowcases. The scent has me gasping for air. She does not notice but I can. I always carry my own bedding and pillows. So yes scents can be a problem to some of us and others not even know there is a scent. So again thank you for sharing this information. Teresa
