👉 Housewives' fumes refer to the unpleasant odors and chemical residues that can accumulate in the home, particularly from common household products like cleaning agents, perfumes, air fresheners, and synthetic fabrics. These fumes are often described as pungent, ammonia-like, or musty, and they can linger even after the source has been removed. They are primarily caused by volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released from these products, which can irritate the nose, throat, and eyes, and in some cases, lead to more serious health issues like respiratory problems or allergic reactions. Proper ventilation and using natural alternatives can help mitigate these odors.
