My house smells!

It’s a chemical smell. We have a lovely cleaner who only uses products we supply, she doesn’t use bleach and none of the other products give off the same smell as the chemical one. When we are staying somewhere else I notice the chemical smell on our clothes, it smells like we live in a hospital! I have NO idea where this smell comes from. My son and I have a very strong sense of smell, dd and dh can’t smell it at all Hmm.

Any ideas what might be causing it? The house didn’t smell like this when we bought it so it is obviously something we are doing (we did completely renovate though).

I bet it is one of the cleaning products - we had the same problem until we figured out which one it was (finally) and binned it. Or else your cleaner might be bringing their own product?

She definitely uses ours! Can you remember which cleaning product it was?

Are you using method at all - I think the bathroom cleaner smells horrible when it dries.

Do you use cistern blocks? I know someone who uses these and it makes everything smells like a chemical toilet!!

No cistern blocks. Flash bathroom cleaner not method! Thanks for the suggestions though Flowers

The mystery continues...
