I will eventually wash my quilts and any odor or smell would probably come out. I do like a clean smell so I will use Tide with fabreeze. I burn candles sometimes and I have spay air freshers in the bathrooms. I use plugin air fresheners throughout the house including the quilt room.
Since i don't have any problems with smells or allergies I love to smell the Jasmines outside my bedroom window and the orange blossoms in the yard but my DD avoids going outside because she is very allergic to pollen.

I use air fresheners, if needed. Not paranoid about what's left behind. I do like to use the scented wax melties. As far as burning candles, no way! The smoke from candles do rise and can permeate things...and stain celings.....

In the past I used plug in air fresheners, until I noticed they were leaving a sticky residue on the unit itself and on the windowsilsl above them. Figured if there was a sticky residue there there would also be residue elsewhere. Now don't use anything but cloves boiled on top of stove for a few minutes.

All those grocery store air fresheners and scented candles are toxic. We are exposed to so many toxins we can't avoid, I certainly avoid the ones I can. A diffuser with GOOD essential oils is my chosen method. The only trouble with that is with the rising popularity of essential oils, there are many adulterated ones on the market. I have one going right beside my design wall and don't worry about the fabric.

I have allergies and occasionally shop in thrift stores and pick up fabrics while shopping. From personal experience, I can tell you that perfumes and air fresheners penetrate fabrics, even if they are in closed cabinets. At the very least, I have to wash those fabrics twice to get the scent out.
