Calgon has a scent??

livebetter
13 years ago

After reading information on using a water softener to help laundry detergent do a better job, I decided to pick up some Calgon today.

I was surprised when I picked up the box that it has a scent. I seemed quite strong and I didn't want to add that to my laundry.

Are there any other options to soften water that have no scent? I do use a small amount of borax.
