Scented detergent

Our family struggles with reactions to fragrance therefore the bedding cleaned with detergent that is scented causes problems. We do bring our own sheets and pillowcases. However the covers and the room still contain that fragrance. This morning I’m stuffed up, at least not nauseated. We don’t have this issue with the larger hotels in cities. They apparently use the free and clear deterrent and cleaning products. It would be wonderful if Back Country could and be more of an eco system. Otherwise, love how this hotel was transformed from the run down one here when I was a kid.
