There is another laundry thing you can do that may help and that is to cut the amount of detergent to half of what the manufacturer calls for, in most cases that will be enough to get the clothes clean especially if you double rinse. Detergent builds up in the fibre of clothing an eventually makes it look grey, vinegar is a good additive to the rinse cycle that cuts the soapiness allowing it to released from the fibre.<br />(Hubby and I were once the owners of a commercial laundry/dry cleaning plant so I know of what I write from long experience)Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09804522074384492754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14848310.post-69051649139559822912012-01-22T00:03:15.659-05:002012-01-22T00:03:15.659-05:00For folks with skin sensitivities it is important ...For folks with skin sensitivities it is important to rinse really well no matter what you use for laundry detergent as new allergies can develop to even the stuff you think is safe. Perhaps if you moved your dial back to the rinse cycle again after the load is done it's first wash and rinse it would help get all the residue out. I do this for my hubby who breaks out every so often also we use no dryer sheets since those chemicals remain in the clothes. Hope she is soon better.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09804522074384492754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14848310.post-35607655691938219982012-01-20T12:43:46.440-05:002012-01-20T12:43:46.440-05:00Poor Hannah!!

Finally we figured out that it was to aspartame (artificial sweetener - also called Nutra sweet). I've since met numerous others who share the same allergy and react in the same way - just a thought. you'd be amazed what all they put it in -- including medicines and 'adult' cereal (and of course kids foods).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14848310.post-8524409469264830382012-01-18T10:50:48.775-05:002012-01-18T10:50:48.775-05:00Poor, little Hannah! We have our fingers crossed t...Poor, little Hannah! We have our fingers crossed that everything is alright.<br />I'm curious to hear what your doctor has to say about Hannah's hives. As I wrote earlier, Charlotte saw 3 different doctors--2 pediatricians and 1 ER doctor--and none seemed overly concerned about them. We did what the last doctor said and tried to limit medicating with Benadryl so that Charlotte could rid her system of whatever it was that started the flare-up. Well over a month after the first flare-up of the 2nd episode, they just disappeared and haven't returned (knock on wood). I'd still like to know why it happened and what caused them, but still no answers.<br />As a mother wanting to ensure a break-out doesn't happen again, especially if it something that I can do to prevent it, the doctors' cavalere attitude is rather unsettling to me. We're hoping it never happens again, but we've always got Benadryl with us, just in case.<br />Fortunately, most of the time, Charlotte was unaware of the hives; however, when she started to scratch, sometimes it was uncontrollable. Lathering her in cream was a temporary relief. I was especially fearful when Charlotte's face was completely covered with hives, even right up to her bottom eyelid. I was afraid to take her anywhere because of the looks we received. It looked like she had a skin disease of some sort.<br />I know it's hard, but try to stop Hannah from scratching. Charlotte has a sensitive spot on her one arm left over from the bout of hives that she tends to scratch a lot, even now. Sometimes she scratches it so much that it starts to bleed. A thick moisturizing cream usually settles the iritation long enough to get her engaged in another activity.<br />Fingers crossed that you receive answers from your doctor.Charlotte Lily Luhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12165283984250340625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14848310.post-5857664133405198362012-01-17T22:51:46.961-05:002012-01-17T22:51:46.961-05:00It's amazing what parents have to go through t...It's amazing what parents have to go through to keep kids healthy!
