Hi Mari

I am not always bothered by all perfumes/odors, but i can relate because some smells always bother me and at times, all smells bother me.

I was a bit surprised you don't have scent-free laundry products available in a nearby store, but then here too i notice even some rather large chain stores each sell a limited selection... it can be hard to find a specific thing.

i did a quick google search and found an online soap store www.soap.com ... i don't know if this is helpful. here is the link directly to the fragrance free laundry det section:

http://www.soap.com/subcat=Laundry-5...Fragrance-Free

standard shipping is $4.99, for a typical 2 day delivery.
cost is waived on orders $35 and above.

there are other online stores too, including walmart.com. the walmart site lists several perfume-and-dye-free products by major brands eg: Tide, All. can you get to a walmart easily? If one is accessible, the store can be selected on the website and its products browsed online, to ensure they have what you seek before going there. do you use a specific brand/product?

let me know if i can do anything more concrete to get you out of that horrific sounding drive to Whole Foods. i am feeling ok and could easily do some web browsing for you to help you find what you need.
