I live in fear of this happening, whether it's daycare related or not.
    Gain is one of the detergents that is my worst enemy; I am allergic to most store bought, and I have a policy that all families need to use fragrance free detergents because I can either go into an asthma attack or break out in hives otherwise (my health trumps their wanting to smell pretty). I also request no fabric softness as it's not just the scent, but the chemical on the sheets that causes problems for me - it's made to stick and it clogs up dryers too, so even if you stop using softer sheets, unless you clean out the dryer with vinegar towels, the next load will still have the stuff on the clothes

      Yeah that is part of the reason I make my own. With no dyes and scents there is so much less to cause a problem to my kiddos. And I have skin issues so I am careful with everything.

        I've done this as well. 3 ingredients, cheap, and easy.

          My daughter is wicked sensitive too so I also make my own and use it on everything I wash here, including the daycare laundry.
