With the “scent” industry booming these days (think Axe Body Spray and celebrity-branded perfumes) it is no wonder that both women and men are using these perfumes to create their own unique odors.

While we may be leaving a trail of lemon drops or ocean mists in our wake with our signature scents, the reality is that we may be causing others to have allergic reactions.

A state representative in New Hampshire is taking the concept to heart by sponsoring a bill to ban state employees who work with the public from wearing perfume.  The bill was proposed after a constituent with extreme allergies approached the representative with the proposal.

Banning perfume is a pretty strict measure, and would most likely prove hard to enforce.   OMI Industries has an alternative that would be more effective at eliminating strong odors from public buildings – without the need for draconian legislature aimed at hard-working public servants.

Fresh Wave IAQ is the only line of commercial-grade odor eliminating products that are non-toxic and effective on both odors and inorganic odors.  FreshWave IAQ product can efficiently clear the air of wayward smells without masking odors with chemicals.  It’s simple, cost-effective, and requires no lobbying, petitions, or campaign promises.
