I get really bad migraines and one of my triggers are strong odors, such as cleaning products, scented candles, perfumes etc. I can avoid most of those things except the cleaning products. Does anyone know of any cleaning products that are scent free or specifically for people sensitive to odors? Keep in mind I still want something that will clean well!
Any suggestions would be great!

For getting rid of odors all over the house including fridge, closets, cabinets, unders sinks, diaper pails, litter box and so much more, try charcoal - I found the perfect product that is totally fragrance free and is incredible. I can't stand those fragranced products and most of them have warning statements about being an irritant. This product is called FRIDGE IT carbon odor absorbers. It's a little purple cube that has an activated carbon filter inside. Only costs a couple of dollars and can be found in kitchen gadget sections of stores like Walmart and linens and things. Someone else also mentioned Camping World.
It's really great. Try it. You'll love it too.

You can get a whole range of cleaning products that are free from toxic chemicals and clean absolutely well at the same time. It's called the EcoSense range.
Our "Home Sweet Home" has become a "Home Sick Home" creating a "chemical time bomb" because many thousands of chemicals in common household products have not been adequately testedby the manufacturers because there is no law requiring pre-market safety testing
You can send me an email me for further information.

Orange citrus cleaners work great. Many of them you can dilute with water and use on just about every thing. You can control the amount of citrus you use by adding more water to it. I provided you with a link below so you can take a look at what is available. Many stores sell citrus cleaners too. Some are already to use but can have a strong odor to them. That is why I recommend you to go with one that you can dilute with water. I hope this helps!

Use unscented products, and products that you find at healh food stores. They're usually hypoallergenic because they are plant based, instead of synthetic.
Don't mix ammonia with cleaning products that contain bleach. This produces a noxious, toxic gas.

I have allergies to most perfumes, too. I use Murphys' Oil soap. The Pine Sol used to bother the cat, so I switched. I like it better for both of us.

Try using the mr. clean magic eraser. It uses only water, has no odor whatsoever, & cleans practically everything.

baking soda is good for cleaning things like fridges and worktops.
white vigegar for glass and shiny surfaces.
lemon and orange oil good fur cutting through grease, maybe dilute some essential oil in alchol with hot water.
