Fragrance-Free Cleaning & Laundry

If you’re sensitive to scent, start by removing fragrance from high-contact products first (laundry, dish, body).

Cleaning starter guide Best fragrance-free detergents

Start here

Switch laundry detergent first (it touches your skin all day).
Then dish soap + hand soap.
Only then: sprays and cleaners.

Avoid

“Natural” products with lots of essential oils (still fragrance).
Overdosing detergent (residue can irritate).
Masking smells rather than removing the source.

Quick win

Wash towels and bedding with fragrance-free detergent + an extra rinse. It’s a comfort win for many people.
