Antiseptic Smell on BART
I just wrote this to BART:
I’m riding on a BART train with what I’m guessing is the new seat design… train #1773, April 30th, 6pm. They are very nice. But the seats and the whole car smells like antiseptic cleaner. Could you try to find a cleaner that doesn’t make the car smell so “antiseptic”? It kind of hurts my nose the same way that breathing Lysol fumes does.
I’m assuming the car received a “normal” cleaning and not some special bubonic plaque wipe-down.
Thanks,
Lee Sonko

Thank you for the message which I will share. We’ve had a very positive
reception to the new seats.
I believe the scent is just because the seating is new and the material
will “break in” after a very brief time.
Would you consider a “smell” category for posts?
What do you mean?
I’m thinking of making an aggregator site “Smell Planet” — discussions for people interested in smells. Some reject the term “smellie” but others see it as the new “foodie”.
