I agree totally with you on that and on fragrances and smoke as well. I live in an allergy free home and love it but this last round robin I joined evidently had 2 members who use a lot of scent in their homes. One was so scented I really had a hard time working with it and I aired it out for several days before going near it. I know it's not from the person who preceded me and suspect it came from the originators house. Some use so much fragrances in their homes that we can smell them from the road when we drive by in our golf cart and their sliding doors and windows are open - that's strong. I like a home that smells fresh and clean but some of these potpourri fragrances just don't work and they will travel in packages as well.
