Drycleaners!
I remember the strong smell so well!
Seems everyone used drycleaners back in the day, however, with today's new and modern technology and home-laundering products, not to mention easy-care fabrics and materials on the market, the dry-cleaning business isn't as hopping as it used to be.

A horrible smell. Needed to air whatever outside before wearing them.

Yes, the strong chemical smell upon entering a drycleaners was overwhelming. I always wondered how the employees tolerated the strong odour.

Cheating on this one a squeak...
This relates to the 1980's, nevertheless, we had a diaper service in our small town and I used to buy rubber pants from the service occasionally when the department stores were out of the size I needed.
I remember the strong sanitizing and disinfecting smell upon entering the service! The washing machines would be humming away and there would be freshly laundered diapers folded and stacked up a mile high!
