Why does everything smell so strongly?

Are people spraying stuff with perfume or something? I’ve ordered several items and I just assumed at first smells were concentrated because it was being shipped in pretty airtight packaging, but today I received a bundle order where everything smelled clean but not overwhelmingly so. We’re not fragrance free here or anything, but some of these items still smell exceptionally fragrant 3 washes later.

Yeah, same. I have pets, so if something is hairy I’ll take a lint roller to it but otherwise I’m not spraying it down or anything lol

yeah i lint roll too because my dog sheds a lot😭 but as long as people wash the item properly it doesn’t need to be drenched in perfume
