There is an art substance called GRUMTEEN that is used as a cleaning
solution...It has a highly pungent orange smell. I have used it not only
for cleaning art substances but for cleaning the hood over the stove Let me
tell you... it's extremely pungent to the point of being sickening. I use
it in highly ventilated areas. I would suggest that some aromatherapy
and/or essential oils also be treated in the same way. Several people I
know while not actively alergic to orange and other citrus oils have
reactions to the concentrated scent and active ingredients...
