@Karin2848 @Lauren4085 Come to my place. My brother has MCS so I've been aware of this for years. Being on the coast we are also aware of how quickly things get into the water supply. I have a washing machine thats one of a few brands only that filters the plastics you find in clothes etc.
I dont get the need to use plug ins: whats wrong with fresh air and opening a few windows/doors when you're doing a change over and drying sheets without laundry starch?. And elbow grease and hot water works with the smallest amount of disinfectant if you're doing it regularly. I am also old school using brooms instead of blowers outside!
If your place has a smell then find it and fix it. New furniture, bedding and rugs are the worst to deal with. I have to leave them washed and unpacked for weeks before putting near guests. If I cant stand the chemicals they emit I can only imagine how someone with MCS reacts.
I do note that some of my guests seem to like to spray it around (especially in wedding season) so I dont know how I can stop that, except usually we dont have back to back bookings so the smell is usually all but gone in a few hours. COVID meant we had to agree to hand sanitisers etc but at least they dont smell too much. I keep limited cleaning products for guests to use: dishwashing liquid and non aerosol aerogard if going outside (or take your chances).
BUT I think hosts would be concerned those with MCS would rate them harshly, even if trying.
Just my 2 cents as a host. 🙂
