Has anyone struggled with the smell of washing detergent that affects their condition?

[Calliope153]

do you mean the smell of the perfume makes you breathless or gasp?

[juwalt in reply to Calliope153]

no the general smell of clean washing

Lined dried? Try changing the washing powder/liquid/pods and/or conditioner and leave to air before handling ..... If tumble dried try airing in a well ventilated room as soon it is removed from the dryer....

Hi, have you been assessed for Asthma, although I have heart problems it’s definitely particular smells that make my Asthma worse.

Hi juwalt. My husband has a huge reaction to bio washing liquids. Like you, it's the small even though there's probably no washing liquid left once the rinse cycle has finished.

I swapped to a non bio and even a baby wash liquid that made a huge difference.

When it's wet outside, I daren't dangle newly washed clothing on warm radiators!!!

Good luck to you. xxx

Sorry - meant to type smell NOT small!!!!

I suffer with COPD as well as Heart failure and can't have anything scented around the house.I.E Clothes with Fabric Softener on the radiators, scented candles, air fresheners etc, Nail varnish!!! terrible stuff. Not sure if it's Asthma or more to do with my Emphysema but all that kind of stuff is banned.

See your GP about it and possibly get some treatment.

Kind regards.

Don't have problem with washing powder, but with strong ammonia which causes burning feeling in nasal passages and sever headaches .
