I got very itcht last night in bed having just laundered my sheets that very day. Is it detergent?

The last time I laundered my sheets with detergent I spent a very itchy night, too - so I simply ran them through the rinse cycle, dried them and everything was fine.





I laundered these particular sheets with detergent yesterday and lo and behold last night I was itchy again





Does it make sense that these particular sheets (indian cotton, high thread count) should make me itchy when laundered with detergent but other sheets are OK?





I am 90% sure the itchiness (SEVERE itchiness) is the detergent because as I say I used the same sheets a month ago having run them through the wash cycle without detergent and I was fine





Any comments, ideas, suggestions welcomed ... thanks in advance.





(I am 100% sure it isn't bed bugs cos until I laundered my sheets, I was fine and the itchiness happened that very night - last night - and I have had a rotten night's sleep!)I got very itcht last night in bed having just laundered my sheets that very day. Is it detergent?
Try ALL. My sister had a similar problem and she switched to ALL and has had no problems since. I don't know who manufactures/distributes this detergent but you might like to try it. Good luck.I got very itcht last night in bed having just laundered my sheets that very day. Is it detergent?
There has been a out break of allergies from overseas companies.


Its the chemicals they use in the fabric I'm not sure what it is,if you saw a Allergist they could pin it down


The Ambulance people here all became allergic to their fluro jackets due to the same thing.


Australia
I was allergic to the fragrances in laundry detergents. They use many of the same fragrances, even though they may be different brands. I switched to a non-allergenic one and don't have itchiness anymore.
When you wash tour sheets with detergents make sure you hung them out side and let them to get a lot of air,I think by doing that they want make you itchy , and your itchiness feeling will go
yes it probably is the detergent.


that happens to me sometimes


it could be that when it was rinsed all of the detergent didn't come out
It sounds like it is the detergent you're using. If you've recently changed it, it may just be that you're sensitive to that brand. If your symptoms have crept up on you, but you've been using the same type of detergent for a while, you may be developing an allergy to it.





Also you mention that it may be the type of material. I suppose it's possible for one type of material to retain more of the detergent than others, depending on the density of the material and how the water soaks into the fabric in the washing process.





I don't really have any skin problems, or sensitivity, but when I use ';Bold'; (a brand found in the UK), I come up in hives. It's a brand renowned to cause problems though, becuase it contains harsher bleaches and chemicals than others - normally favoured by hotels to ensure their whites stay white!





If you have an allergy, try switching to non-biological detergents. That way you can still wash all of your sheets in the same product, without having to worry about separating them.
