No air fresheners, plug-ins, room sprays or diffusers used in guest rooms.
Why it matters
In a US population survey, about a third of adults reported health problems, such as migraine and breathing difficulty, from fragranced products. Terpenes in many fragrances also react with indoor ozone to form fine particles and formaldehyde.
