OH MY GOSH!!!! I wondered why my kids couldn't use the Tide Free....they get a rash everytime we use it. I couldn't figure out why. 2 of them are allergic to peanuts!!!! They can use SOME laundry products that state they are die, and perfume free but not others and reading the ingredients didn't help but now I know why...if they don't list it how can I tell???? I would NEVER have thought about looking for peanuts in laundry soap....makes me wonder what else I'm missing. Thanks for the info Annemarie No matter the storm, when you're with God there's always a rainbow at the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 I know what pretty much sets off 's eczema: chlorine. We all love to swim in the summer, so we pretty much just live with the eczema. If hated swimming, then it would be one thing. However, she loves it, and is even on the swim team.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 Liquid tide. I don't think the powdered Tide contains peanuts anymore. A call to P & G MIGHT answer your question... > what are you using then for laundry supplies??? > Vicki > > > >We also stopped using Tide powder as they >used to use peanut shells > > >to keep loft in their detergent. >Environmentally, it's a fabulous > > >idea - unfortunately, it wasn't on the label.
