Just an aside - my daughter, even as a baby, has problems with dryer sheets. She can only use liquid fabric softener on her clothes In fact, when she was in army basic training years ago, I can still remember a phone call I got from her - she was complaining about a rash wherever her underwear was - but not where her underwear wasn't.(they washed their own underwear, military washed their uniforms).

She had started using dryer sheets - and obviously never 'outgrew' that allergy. Apparently there is an ammonium salt (that's what the doctor told me when she was a baby) that is in the dryer sheets that she is allergic to.

So, for others that may have some type of rash due to laundering, remember it may be due to the fabric softener/ dryer sheets - and not just the laundry detergent itself.

By the way, my absolute favorite laundry detergent is Oxydol - which is getting almost impossible to find - and I have never seen it in liquid form - which I prefer. I too, use Tide most of the time. ~Jan
