Is it a universally agreed-upon “fresh” smell? Cultural? Or is lemon fragrance just cheap to manufacture and use in products? Something else?

I don’t hate it, but I also don’t care for it, either. Now I’m curious why so many cleaning products use that smell.

    That makes sense. I guess more people than me are also sick of lemon since the orange scents are always out of stock.

      It depends, a lot of the time, most cleaning products have that shitty “lemon” smell that fucking sucks, where it’s obviously only masking a more unpleasant smell even if the unpleasant smell is just the actual cleaning product. That usually means it’s even worse when there really is a foul odor present, cause then it smells like shit and lemon.
