Question from Mary
Hi Debra,
Have you figured out a secret to getting paper products- paper towels, tp, kleenex-type stuff- scent-free?
My assistant just got paper towels at Von’s and they smell awful- probably a detergent odor.
I’ll try setting them on my balcony and see if they air out. One sniff, and the odor stays in my nose and I can’t get rid of it.
Some stores are better than others, though I’m not sure any are 100% reliable.
Debra’s Answer
I buy mine at Costco and it’s never a problem. The paper products aren’t anywhere near the detergents and cleaning products.
Readers, suggestions?
The larger the store, the farther away from the (smelly) detergent aisle the paper products will be. I also like to buy the larger packs of paper towels, tissues, etc. Although I hate that they are wrapped together in plastic, the extra layer helps keep them from absorbing perfumes.
