Cleaning Products And Allergy: Part 3

Biological washing products contain enzymes to break down proteins, such as milk or blood, that cause stains. People with eczema may find that their skin condition is made worse by exposure to these enzymes (which may also cause respiratory symptoms), and often find non-biological products more acceptable. However, if these also cause irritation, then products labelled as suitable for "sensitive skin" may be a better option, or you could even try old-fashioned soap flakes. Sensitivity to every type of washing product is rare, but if this should occur, try using one tablespoon of washing soda, sodium bicarbonate, or borax per washing load. Another option is a laundry ball, a chemical-free alternative to detergents.

A few people with eczema can tolerate fabric conditioners, but may sufferers find that they perfume they contain irritates their condition. If this is the case, use a quarter cup of baking soda, vinegar, or borax instead.

Many brands of stain remover contain solvent-type irritant chemicals - often indicated by the manufacturer's precautions concerning their use. In addition, they are often highly fragranced. Simple home-made stain removers, based on vinegar, club soda, or corn starch, can be just as effective as these stronger commercial brands.
