I am fairly sure that the thrift store near me uses it. Even when I wash the item 10 times, the scent does not easily come out. I often have to leave the item outside in the sun for a full 2 weeks to remove scent in addition to washing over 10 times. I am highly allergic to fragrance and therefore it is practically impossible for me to shop thrift without having to waste a lot of time and money to get the fragrance out. I hope that over time, thrift stores will change their practice over time. I have read that 40 percent of people are actually sensitive to fragrance so it only makes sense that we adopt healthier alternatives. I would absolutely love to wear second hand clothing because our Earth is drowning in our fast fashion. I don’t want to buy new clothes but until second hand stores clue in to the fragrance issue, I can only rescue a few items a year.
