Dirty Laundry

[twoweevils]

I had a somewhat unconventional childhood. Some of the things that most people learn to do at home as a matter of course, I had to figure out on my own -- with varying degrees of success. I'm interested in learning how other people manage day-to-day stuff.

But when I accidentally put a Burt's Bees lip balm through the washer and dryer in the pocket of my jeans, I really enjoyed the scent that clung to that load of laundry.

Heh. :-)

Makes me wonder if it's the scent, or if it's the chemicals it's made from.

That wouldn't surprise me at all.

the smell of most cleaning products makes me physically ill

My sympathies. It's not quite that extreme with me, but I do hate walking down the cleaning products aisle at the store because it makes my head ache, and I'll avoid it whenever possible. That's one reason I find it worth the expense to hire someone to give the house a thorough cleaning for me every couple of months. Spares me the worst of the fumes.

In an odd little aside, the ex was far more sensitive than I am (which is saying something) so when we got together I switched from Cheer laundry detergent to Cheer Free. It gave me an allergic reaction so severe I ended up on oral steroids for a week. Go know. *g* Now I use All Free and Clear and have had no problems.

God, I feel so domestic. Which is just all kinds of ironic. *g*
