If a person has sensitivities to fragrances will the carpet cleaning fluid be a problem? Has anyone tried an alternative that's perfume free?

I have children with sensitivities and have to use fragrance and dye free clothing detergent. Saying this, the use of this product did not bother anyone in my home. In fact, after it dries and you vacuum, you barely smell it at all as it only seems to smell 'clean'! My boys play video games and are right on the carpet with no skin irritation noted. I se this product once a month. I suggest trying a 5 ft square area only to see if it will bother your sensitivities. If so, and you bought it from Amazon, they will send you a label and return shipping is free!

The pretreatment solution has NO phosphorus; however, the washing solution has an English lavender additive which, I personally feel, is not overpowering or annoying.

I always have a box of Odormute in my cabinet. The back of the box says "may be used in carpet cleaning equipment, sprayers, and washing machines". However, I have only added the product to the rinse cycle when doing laundry. Its not a cleaning product, it just eliminates odors. When I used it on my dog's kennel I would wash it first, then pour a bucket of water with Odormute to remove all scent. It worked, and it worked in the laundry when I was a caretaker for my mother after her stroke.

I appreciate where you are coming from. People act like you are crazy or just overly sensitive. I am shopping for a filter for the same odor problem. The building management sent someone over who could not smell anything. I could not smell the original odor over "her perfume". Managed to offend one more person. Hard to work with a headache and itchiness. Anyway, thanks for your question and the reply of D. Cunningham. This has been a tremendous help to me. Think I am going with the rabbit. Good thing the boss is buying.

I didn't notice any odor when I used it for an entire day at the Mall of New Hampshire a month ago nor in my room I store it in. I'm pretty sensitive to scents, fragrances or odors of any kind, because I get a migraine, but it seems good to me. However, you might be sensitive to something that I am not. I do use this stuff called "Zero Odor" to get rid of scents on things. Their web site is www.ZeroOdor.com and phone 800-526-2967. Hope this helps.

Not for me and I am also very sensitive to perfume. It has a short lived rubbing alcohol smell that dissipates quickly and no residue odor.

I would prefer for it to be fragrance free. I am very sensitive to fragrance. The product works, but in my overly-sensitive opinion, the fragrance does linger.

Hi Laura. I'm quite sensitive to most perfumes - almost any cologne, perfume or scented product, including scented candles, makes me nauseous, triggers headaches or can even cause anxiety/rapid heartbeat. I find the scent of Nature's Miracle to be light and pleasant. It's noticeable, but not overpowering. I would compare it to baby powder, nothing very perfume-y. Since we all have different sensitivities, it's possible you could have a reaction, but my guess is that, unless your allergies are extremely severe, you can probably safely and comfortably use this product.

Not too bad. The scent doesn't linger on your hands, but it is noticeable especially if the bag is freshly unrolled. I am sensitive to perfumes, my wife doesnt wear any at all, and the bags don't bother me.

Actually, it all depends on the person's sense of smell. To most (like myself who do not have a sensitivity to fragrances) I would answer no, there is no smell. However, knowing someone had asked this question, the next time I used it I double checked and there is a slight scent (that may bother some with a strong irritation to ANY aromatic scent). But does it "stink"? NO! Would someone be able to detect (smell) that you had this on? Absolutely not!

I'd suggest calling them. As the owner of two of these, my guess would be that if the odors are just in the air, then, yes, If the smells have been absorbed by carpets, furniture and so on, probably not. I find these units do give the air a bit of a smell but it's mild and certainly not perfume.

There is a comment in a customer review which says "Product is as good as or better than many of the very expensive products. I noticed changes and have been using it for years. Highly recommended for those who need hypoallergenic products with NO fragrance." So I think it doesn't. =)

I've purchased the sensitive skin and the baby varieties and both of them are fragrance-free. To my understanding, these two varieties are identical. My husband and I really like them.

Good question. I do not like how it smells. But to be fair - I'm extremely sensitive to certain fragrances. And the added benefit with this product is that the fragrance is not at all pungent to the extent that it overwhelms. It's light and dissipates very quickly during the course of the day - to the point that my nose has adapted by not noticing past the first wiff. Hope that helps.

Debbie, I don't know if there is a fragrance to this additive, but if there is, I did not notice it at all - and normally I would. Don't count mine as the last word on this because I am out at the moment and can't go to the laundry room to check it, but I would say it is most likely fragrance free.

This is not highly fragrant which is the reason I use it. I also have allergies to many scented products. I have used this for many years and I do not have any sensitivity to it. Good luck.

I am very sensitive to smells and to answer your question I literally had to get up and go smell a bar. It's a natural smell from the ingredients, that isn't very strong at all. It does say it has fragrance in the ingredients but I really couldn't detect a perfume scent.

I switched to this because of the excessive dust with other litters for the health of my family and cats. There are no chemicals, perfumes, or silica dust. Anything else is extremely minimal. I don't think you can really find a safer for everyone litter. If you need no dust absolutely then you probably should not have cats or pets with hair.
