Laundry Detergent - I need your help
Hi all. My apartment uses HE machines (cold water), so I've been using Tide for HE machines with no problems. A few weeks ago I switched to Gain, just for something different. After two weeks, my 18 year old daughter has gotten the most wicked hives all over her torso that I have ever seen. I believe it's the Gain…
