I'm thinking you're probably using a more natural type of dish soap, if not check your brand on the internet and see where it stacks up on the toxic scorecard.

Yep, I'm scent sensitive and chemical sensitive as well. It's Eco ___? Get it by the gallon at my coop. A gallon lasts us about 6 months and it's used every day.
I suppose that's another "use less" idea right? Buy what you can in bulk!
If you're not scent sensitive and you have to have shampoo, you can buy (or used to be able to) shampoo concentrates at Sally's by the gallon. It's how beauty shops get their shampoo, or was. My scent sensitivity showed up just around the time of "aromatherapy" and every damned one at Sally's was perfumed when I ran out of my old stuff, so I haven't bought any shampoo concentrate in > a decade !
