Why are people so compelled to smell "fragrant"? Synthetic scents aren't necessary. Folks are so afraid to be natural that they douse themselves and the environment in nasty chemicals. Plenty of folks with asthma, allergies, migraines, or MCS know that fragrant doesn't mean nice, after all poop is pretty fragrant, but I generally avoid smearing that all over my pulse points.

By using less than the suggested amount of detergent, not overstuffing the washer, and using vinegar in the rinse cycle, I completely eliminate the so-called "need" for fabric softener. Every dermatologist I've known has suggested that patients eliminate fabric softener and scented detergents when combating *any* rash. Some docs are pretty cool. ;)
