Thanks so much for sharing your experiences, and for giving a glimpse of how tricky it is to deal with chemical sensitivity.<br /><br />It makes sense that utilitarian vehicles like jeeps and working trucks have very little carpeting which is hard to clean. The carpet's synthetic (=plastic) fibers have a very high surface-to-volume ratio which makes it especially problematic.<br /><br CelloMomhttp://www.cellomomcars.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2235446006357589887.post-3372336914381004102012-04-22T09:42:15.088-07:002012-04-22T09:42:15.088-07:00as a chemically sensitive person cars are a big pr...as a chemically sensitive person cars are a big problem. Some car manufacturers actually spray the new cars with a perfume called new car smell which makes it twice as bad and harder to out gas. Make sure that they don't do that. I personally have not had good luck with buying used cars because the previous owners either used air freshner or they smoked in the car or they wore perfume Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2235446006357589887.post-27654195840429475062012-02-03T08:20:44.331-08:002012-02-03T08:20:44.331-08:00LOL!!!

We are the buyers, and we should have a say on what we buy. If enough of us tell the makers of cars that we are not happy with what they throw into their product, the tide will turn, eventually.
