Clean Doesn’t have a smell

Tuesday, July 7th, 2009

Those smells that are artificial are not good for us.  Clean has no smell not lemon, not mellon  fresh, not forest breeze.  Most of the chemicals used to create these smells we have grown to love are considered “neuro-toxins:

You use the towels and wear the underwear;  a -terpineol ittitates mucus membraines and damages the central nervous system.  Benzyl acetate effects the eyes and the respiratory system.

Fabric softener irritates the eyes and respiratory system.  The petroleum based stuff stays in the fabric and can cause irritated mucus membranes and damages central nervouse system.  Not to mention the toxic chemicals rubbing on your skin.  So you use dryer sheets, except they are filling up land fills and their smell is also very offensive to some.  I like to refer to the fabric softener on the market as the alphabet soup of toxins all over our body.  The point of fabric soften is that it stays in the fabric, thus the fumes are being released into the air, especially when the person wearing the shirt perspires.  ( in some cases causing people around them to experience tightness in their lungs)
