Thanks. It never really scents the whole house. Just the washing... if i could find a natural one in the UK that would be great. I have to use softener though because of my skin.

I would venture to guess that most people with birds use scented laundry detergent and it's probably okay. However, personally I just err on the side of caution and use an unscented detergent for all my laundry because I know how sensitive birds' respiratory systems are. My GCC likes to sit on my shoulder and I feel better about it knowing my clothing isn't perfumed.
