Being very sensitive perfume scents, I agree wholeheartedly about
the stupidity of adding perfumes to household products.  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!
