emergency solutions for perfume odor control

Air fresheners can cause cancer. That was the conclusion many people might have drawn from a US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) study published in Environmental Science & Technology this past spring. The researchers plugged in four electrical outlet-powered air fresheners in a closed room. They then turned on an ozone generator to test how chemicals, such as pinene and limonene, commonly used in air fresheners, react with ozone, which is produced at ground level when car exhaust emissions react with sunlight.

The result: Formaldehyde -- which has been shown to cause cancer in animals and may cause cancer in humans as well as related compounds that may cause breathing problems.

The Consumer Specialty Products Association (CSPA) was quick to put the kibosh on the media frenzy before it could get off the ground. A lengthy press release made it clear that the extreme and artificial conditions in which these products were tested "was not intended to represent consumer use of air fresheners, nor does it do so." When used according to label instructions in real-life situations, the products are completely safe, the CSPA concluded.

The study may have set off a false alarm, but it also raised an important issue about the air quality in our homes and how quickly we are willing to compromise it to have the sweet-smelling houses the commercials claim we need. "People don't understand that all the fragrances and products we use in our homes create a chemical soup," says Jeffrey C. May, author of My House Is Killing Me! The Home Guide for Families with Allergies and Asthma (Johns Hopkins University). "If you have asthma, allergies or are sensitive to chemicals, it can be a real health concern." Even quaint aromatic candles, like tea lights or the poured wax jar varieties, have come under fire in recent years. "Those jar candles are enormous soot factories. Just look at how black the rims are," says May, who also does home inspections. "Millions of dollars have been spent repainting houses and redoing carpets to get rid of candle soot. It's an enormous problem." Also on the offending list: Incense, which releases particulate matter as well as benzene and carbon monoxide, two dangerous gases, into the air... and spray fresheners, which experts argue expose your lungs to more unnecessary chemicals. One solution is simply to live in a fragrance-free home. But pet owners, fish lovers and those with smelly shoes may argue otherwise. Some natural alternatives for those who need to clear the air... Remove the moisture. "Excess moisture encourages microbial growth and really makes a house smell bad," says May. "Keep your house clean and the relative humidity down and you won't need air fresheners." Simmer some sweet stuff. One safe way to make your house smell good enough to eat is the old real estate trick of simmering water, orange peels and warm spices, such as cinnamon or clove, on the stove. Burn beeswax. If you're a candle junkie, burn beeswax. It's cleaner than those made with paraffin or petroleum products. In the middle ages, the Catholic Church legislated the use of pure beeswax candles in churches because they didn't damage the interior and artwork. They're also naturally colored and scented. A clean, welcoming home -- yes. An artificially clean, welcoming home -- no.

Dakota Free Products are manufactured by In the Potters Hand Inc., a family-owned, farm-based business located on the beautiful North Dakota prairie. These unique products were born of necessity after a pesticide poisoning caused severe health problems for our family. Coping with these health problems led us in a diligent search for quality, natural and fragrance-free replacements for the many perfumed and synthetic products we could no longer use. Disappointed with the natural products we could buy, we eventually developed our own natural skin care line, bath products and insect repellent alternatives. The results we have enjoyed, along with encouragement from others using our products, give us the desire to share them with everyone else who has a need for, or an interest in natural and fragrance-free living. Its exciting to see what these formulas can do for the comfort and health of skin; everyone of any age can benefit. We thank you for your interest and hope you will be truly pleased with the Dakota Free Difference
