🧽 Cleaning sprays, fabric softeners, and dish soaps.
🚗 Car fresheners and dashboard sprays.
What You Can Do
📦 Choose products labeled 'fragrance-free' or 'unscented' (not just 'natural').
🌿 Use essential oils cautiously, as they can still trigger sensitivities.
🪟 Ventilate your home regularly to reduce buildup of indoor pollutants.
🧼 Opt for simple, non-toxic soaps and cleaning agents.
🚭 Advocate for fragrance-free workspaces and offices.
