How can shop purification be arranged if incense might leave a smell on the merchandise?

First consider how the space is used. The same tools do not necessarily suit every location. We once changed our method of purifying a shop because we were concerned that purification incense would leave its scent on the merchandise.

On that occasion, the ground floor was open for business and sold products. Instead of using purification incense as we did on the other floors, we used the herbal purification spray we had prepared at the time. This is an example of first understanding the environment and then choosing the tools.

When carrying out a ritual, we cannot consider only the methods we are accustomed to using. We also need to pay attention to the space’s normal use and the items inside it. Clarifying these considerations beforehand makes it easier to accommodate both the religious arrangements and the site’s practical needs.
