The ones that irritate me the most are tissues (Puffs are the worst offenders), detergents, and fabric softeners (the ads may claim to make your clothes smell "April Fresh", but I call it nauseating). The scents in cleaning products are not only unnecessary, but downright dangerous. Crystal toilet bowl cleaners like Vanish have a too-pleasant, mint candy smell that might easily convince small children to taste the stuff! So I say "Down with perfumed household products!" Not only would unscented products be more pleasant to use, but they'd probably cost less, too! E. Rieback
