"Fresh" scents in cleaning products

That pet fresh shit is just that. Shit. It’s absolute overkill with whatever perfumey nastiness they put in it. 
Add that stuff to the reasons of why I don’t own a cat or, dog. 
My wife used it once when we had a dog. Whole house smelled like a Bed Bath and Beyond had a baby with Western Exterminator

Look up "odor eliminator". The lab rats where I used to work made one that worked.

The stuff we made wasn't retail, but surely someone else has it sorted.

I couldn't figure out how to spell odor yesterday...

Probably depends on which end of the dog, no?

Fake scents are terrible. Instant headache from a lot of them. Fortunately my wife is even less tolerant so we're on the same page about it. Even finding damned cat litter that doesn't stink to high heaven of chemicals is tough. And animals have way more sensitive noses than us, think they want anything to do with any of this crap? 

Not quite on topic,... maybe?

So mid November of 2023 my nose became sensitive to soaps. Shampoo, hand soap and clothes detergent. They all had a strong perfume/chemical smell, like poison being masked with a flower smell. I was certain my wife had gone to a different laundry detergent but it was the same brand we had always used.

I would put on a pair of socks and the friction on my skin as i was putting them on would release the chemical/flower scent. After about 6 months it started to go away and a year later it was 99% gone but i still to this day will get hints of the distinct smell. 

I don't know if it had to do with the fact I had Covid a couple months earlier? Nothing was wrong with my sense of smell or taste during or directly after i got over it, but 2 months later things sure changed in about a weeks time.

To answer the question, yes, carpet sprays for when your dog goes piss on it have a unique gross smell.

I know so many people that had a change of ability to smell. The first time my wife got covid, she couldn't smell scents for at least a year before her sense of smell started coming back. Her most recent covid changed her taste that she could not eat cilantro. While that subsided after about 6 months. Those are just 2 examples of many I'm personally aware of.

Most mainstream chemical-based cleaning products are poison. I try to use the hippie natural stuff as far as soap, laundry detergent, cleaning supplies etc. I also hate when I'm at a restaurant and they come around spraying some nasty crap on the nearby tables.

About a month ago I was overnight in Harrisonburg,VA and the sheets in my room smelled so strong I couldn’t sleep with them pulled up. 

Yes, I griped about it when I checked out. 

I think they had spilled something on them…

The next time I stayed there they were fine. 

Before I get a migraine, I get sensitive to smells.

There is an odor eliminator that works well on organic odors. Pooph . It doesn't have a smell and it is supposed to be totally safe.  

I've found it works amazing on everything I've tried it on so far. You clean up the thing that smells and then put it on after. 

I use the original formular. They have a bunch of them now, so there may be some that have a smell now. 

I've used Odaban  and it works well too, but has a strong smell to it that lasts forever.  I used it to get the cigar smell out of a house that a cigar smoker lived in for 30ish years! It worked really well and is not that expensive. I got a gallon of it and still have a lot left over. House was about 2ksf.  The Pooph is a little on the expensive side but I like that it has no smell of its own.

I hear you man, wife and daughter both use a "dry shampoo" spray for their hair and it stinks up the entire house. And I mean the ENTIRE 2,800 SF and lingers for about an hour or so. I will be sitting on the couch, far away from any of the vanities and I know exactly when they start using it. But it's not just the scent, it's like a thickness in the air and I feel like I am being poisoned. It pisses me off honestly. 

Also, FYI don't use those carpet "deodorant" powders, they are terrible products. They leave residue behind in your carpet and can actually trap the odors into the floor. They will also wear out your carpet fibers from the abrasiveness, not to mention they will f*** up your vacuum.

Just got a bottle of Purex fragrance booster crystals. They were on BOGO👍
