Guest guest Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Jackie, you said that Ajax Super Degreaser Dish Detergent did a great job of your husband's greasy clothes, better than laundry detergent. I don't think I can use dish detergent in my front laundry due to sudsing but I wonder if Cascade or one of the dishwashing machine dish detergents would work the same without the suds problem. Theoretically at least Cascade would have to cut grease on dishes without the assistance of dish cloth. If you have dish washing machine (I don't)and ever try this, please let me know. I have nothing to compare results with since I haven't washed anything greasy before. I use paper towels for greasy jobs and throw them away but you can't do that with your husband's work clothes. If it is as effective at grease removal as Ajax, I might start to use it for laundry since if it's a good degreaser, might be good at mycotoxin removal, at least that is what some of us are theorizing here. With a little ammonia too. Thanks!! > > Barb, > My husband works in a plant that makes gears for Dodge.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Let us know how you like it if you try it. In particular looking to try things that are good at getting out gooey, greasy stuff based on idea that mycotoxins are very sticky or similar to an oil film. Pathologist said ammonia is good. --- In , " J.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Q-meister: The link I put into group from Amazon.com on the ultrasonic destainer had really bad reviews. Look on Amazon.com for the destainer reviews by buyers. It got really low marks. One can only just assume these are really people who used it. > > > > Let us know how you like it if you try it.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 From my understanding Casade has a bleaching agent in it. It is also acostic (SP). I was once told a person can use a little clorox in the dishwasher but not ammonia due to the gases it will produce. About once a week I add a cup of clorox to the wash cycle basically to disinfect the dishwasher a little more. I have always done this because my mom did it..just one of those habits I inherited! > > > > Barb, > > My husband works in a plant that makes gears for Dodge.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 I have found regular Tide cleans the best. I will add the Ajax with my husband's clothes. If they are extra greasy and filthy, I will add littlie ammonia and do an extra rinse. This is the ONLY time I will use the detergent, ammonia and ajax. Ajax and clorox should NOT be used together...I don't use a lot of bleach because liver disease runs in my family. When my sister passed away with liver issues, the doctor at Hospice said Clorox is really toxic to the liver. As I said in an earlier post, I may use it in the dishwasher but I am very careful to not hang out in the kitchen at this time. I may add chlorine bleach to stained whites every now and then. I keep a bottle of Clorox and I may use it in our bathroom but this is not something I clean with even weekly. Clorox should be used carefully and directions should always be followed. The problem with cleaners such as Clorox, people think more is best...the best thing to do is follow directions and not use more. Ok, I am off my rant but back to the Tide thing, I also add ammonia to my laundry from time to time. I don't think it is always necessary to use so many additives as a detergent such as Tide is really cleansing. For those with sensitivities, there are the kinds without fragrances. I always feel it is best to do an extra rinse with water only, especially for use with allergies. I have heard folks using a vinegar rinse but vinegar, Clorox and ammonia is all damaging to our clothing as it is. It is never good to not rinse this stuff. Also, never mix ammonia, vinegar or Clorox...if one or the other used as an additive does not do the job, then this is a sign that it is time to trash the item! IMO, if an item has mold in it, I would not even try to save it! With so many free recycling groups around offering free clothes, people should not have to be so worried about going naked if they throw out a moldy item of clothing! > > > > > > Let us know how you like it if you try it.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Hi Ali, with MCS products that can be tolerated or very slim. the only thing I've used is ammonia, watered down and I made a point not to breath it. I worry about somethings mentioned in the group too, but have to remind myself that everyone doesn't have MCS and hopefully thier not useing amounts that would bring on MCS. everyone has thier own limitations in this nightmare and not enough answers so hopefully they know what they can tolerate or not. when you have MCS it is your guide. > > I don't post here often. I've learned a ton from all of you and your posts. One thing that I see alot on this group though is people continuing to use really hazardous and toxic chemicals to clean their clothes, their houses, etc. Why is this? The thought of putting clorox or ammonia or any other toxins into my environment really alarms me. There are other things that can be used to degrease and destink things. Just my two cents. > > > [] Re: Laundry Cleaners / JackieBreeze > > From my understanding Casade has a bleaching agent in it. It is also > acostic (SP).

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 I don't agree with all of it. I believe that TILT is basically when your liver malfunctions and is no longer detoxing up to par causeing build up of toxins in the body that trigger MCS. . > > Believe me, we all balance these issues.. none of us like using strong > oxidizers but its the only way..

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 The problem is, alot of people are trying to get the mycotoxin burn out of their clothes, and other things that they want to keep. Not everyone on this site understands or suffers from the horrible effects that come from being next to items that have become saturated with mycotoxins-I promise you, it will drive you insane and cause you to move repeatedly, cut off all your hair, and throw everything you own away, and live in a tent with borrowed old clothes from your friends-even going to a friends house and sitting in a chair that you sat in when you were contaminated will burn you and make you sick-this leads people to use all sorts of products to try and control, almost allway unsucessfully, this monstrouse cross contamination. > > I don't post here often.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 When I went to see Dr Rae in Dallas, everything I packed came right out of my wash machine, except for one item...a cardigan sweater. Why? It was August, going to Dallas. We landed at 8 pm and it was 100 degrees!!! Therefore I hadn't planned to take a sweater. My planned wardrobe went into wash machine. Last minute I think of " air conditioned buildings " and threw a sweater in baggage. At Dallas I make a friend staying at the Marriott. She has MCS. We sat together at clinic and I drove her home to Marriott that night. Next day she sat next to me again. This time though I am wearing sweater and she says something is bothering her, apologizes and moves a seat away. I realize sweater I'm wearing is only thing not taken right from wash machine and directly into baggage. It was clean but had not been washed immediately prior to traveling, so an example of keen detection of probably mold and mycotoxins. I wish I could sense them but not to point of fainting of course. This is same person who fainted next day when someone came walking in with cologne on that even I could smell from far away, despite signs that say it was not allowed. --- In , " carondeen " <kdeanstudios@...> wrote: > > The problem is, alot of people are trying to get the mycotoxin burn out > of their clothes, and other things that they want to keep.
