werelivingafulllife: we stink

It is a serious problem and it's complicated; here's the story. First I should say that the smelly offenders are just me and my hubby, the kids are all grown and gone but their ours so lets for the sake of argument call them smelly too! Hey it's my blog and I can do what I want! I am very sensitive to odors/ fragrances, in fact most of the products that I use have very little fragrance or are fragrance free which has led my dilemma. I like every other person in the planet have tried every laundry detergent, Tide, Cheer, All, Gain, and others and frankly the all are pretty smelly, literally. The fragrance's are just to strong for me plus I would rather not smell like my detergent.

I suffer from migraines and strong scents on my sheets and blankets can mean hours and hours of horrible pain. So I went to the scent free brand of All and scent free Bounce sheets thinking ha, I am so freekin smart my clothes and linens are clean and fresh and there's no fragrance, right? Wrong!! My sheets and blankets are stinky!! They smell like BODY- they do not smell clean or fresh! You know what I mean....they smell like our sweat, sorry there's just no nice way to put it. And I might add we shower daily and I change our sheets twice a week wash my sheets using hot water!

Anyhoo, I was walking down the natural-organic aisle the other day in the grocery store; so desperate was I for a new laundry detergent that I was actually collecting home made laundry detergent recipes as a last resort. Then I heard the angels sing then the clouds parted { do you have clouds in you market?}and a ray of sun shone on a bottle on the shelf.{the angel and sun part didn't really happen but I thought it sounded good so I added it just for a bit of drama} And what was on this shelf you might ask? The answer to my stinky situation.

Biokleen, this stuff is amazing! I purchased a 64 oz bottle of the citrus {grapefruit seed and orange peel}{there are other choices available} and took it home to try. In my grocery store it was just over $11.00 per bottle and it does 64 loads, one ounce per large load. I did my first stinky load of sheets, and they came out smelling like sunshine! Really they smelled like I just pulled them in off the clothes line, no lie. You can be sure I'll never go back to any of the other major brands. And the plus is that this brand is phosphate free, which is better for the environment!
