I know that there are special injectors for chemicals that kill ダニ in the tatami, maybe they make similar fgor the smell. I quite enjoy the smell of tatami, in fact, i really would love to move back to a place where i can have at least one 和室, so i can organise my calligraphy studio as it should be.
Yeah, no I get that, I'm just not sure if Fabreeze or similar products would maybe have a reaction to the tatami, maybe discoloring it or something after use. As a young, active guy, tatami seems more of a nuisance for me as I have to constantly worry about not damaging it.


I'm not a cynic; I just like to play Devil's Advocate once in a while.
