Is this soap really fragrance-free, and why does that matter in a kitchen or shared bathroom? — Liquid Laundry Soap "Classic Household Soap", 925 ml - Modum

Yes. MODUM liquid household soap is described as fragrance-free, and the product information notes that it is a suitable choice where a neutral smell is preferred. It does not leave a strong scent behind.

This is useful in a kitchen, where a perfumed dishwashing product can cling to cups or cutlery and clash with the smell of food. It is also useful in shared spaces, because an unscented cleaner will not build up layers of different scents along with air fresheners, laundry products, or other cleaners.

Fragrance-free means that no fragrance has been added to the formula. It does not guarantee an absolute absence of any smell, because soap materials can sometimes have a mild natural odour. What it does mean is that the manufacturer has not used perfume to mask or change that odour.

If you are choosing an unscented household product because you are sensitive to strong smells, this may be a more comfortable cleaning option. It is not the same as being hypoallergenic, so use it with caution if you have had reactions to cleaning products in the past.
