rinsed/dried with fabric softener (this is VERY important!)—wash with baking soda

do not wear ANY clothing that has been near any sources of pervasive, lingering scents that have absorbed into clothing, hair, skin, paper, or any item coming from such  household or setting

plan any shopping “after” our visit, so those contaminates don’t come into my home with you

put shoes & jackets in designated areas (usually closed container) as quickly as possible upon entering the house

do not sit in designated areas as they have been made “safe” for me (ie. special couch, chair, etc.)—I’ll let you know what & where.

IF you’re an overnight guest, unscented toiletries will be provided (soap, shampoo, deodorant, etc). Please leave yours at home.

you’ve been around latex balloons

you’re wearing perfume or anything scented (including fabric softener!)

you’ve got something minty in your mouth

you’ve been shopping in a department or home improvement store same day

you use fabric softener in your laundry

You may see me quickly putting on my face mask (if not already wearing!) or backing away (or even needing to leave the room unexpectedly & very quickly—especially if it’s a small, confined room). You may also see me using hand sanitizer after contact (ie. handshakes, hugs).

If it’s a group or private get together that’s prearranged (church, lunch, etc.), please consider taking the same precautions as if you were coming to my home. I want to be able to spend time visiting with you, getting to know you, developing friendships, etc.
