Arm and Hammer to the rescue!
So I am very excited today. I have narrowed my recent itching problem down to one of two things. My Soap or my laundry detergent. I am a cheap bachelor; laundry is very very evil in my world. By the way, my $10 washer and dryer I bought at the D.I. died over Thanksgiving so I finally broke down and bought new ones. I bought the cheapest ones possible in Utah Valley. And I am still light headed at the cost of the “cheap ones”.
So I have felt that my cloths were the big problem with my not so fresh feeling. I buy the cheap Albertson brand detergent, and there is usually some left in the washer when the cycle is done. My clothes just don’t look like they could take a teddy bear falling from the sky and landing in them and then bouncing because of the softness of the clothes. Mine are more like a nice 75 grit sand paper. So today at the Harmon’s I found new dermatologist tested “For Sensitive Skin” Arm and Hammer Liquid soap. So I bought me some. Now I was thinking, the whole muscular arm and the sledge hammer logo does not instill confidence that my clothing is going to be soft, but a dermatologist somewhere tested it. I am going to pull my bed sheets off and do a test wash! I will miss the funky smell that Albertsons soap had, and the new soap does not have any perfume or dyes, so I guess I will have to smell myself all night, but I am hoping that this works. My poor body hates my rough clothes!
I will let everyone know how it goes.
PS Did I mention that my damn furnace died again? You know on the morning that it was 6 degrees at my house. It did, I fixed it myself, because my landlords really have no clue what they are doing.

You should consider Costco detergents. At first it feels like they are costly, but you get plenty for your buck and my sheets are soft and smell delightful... consider fabric softner (that is where the littly bouncing teddy you described so elequently comes from... a softner).
Cameron... please come fix my window and radiator. PLEASE.
Hey! Maybe the baking soda will soak up some of the latent bachelor stench in your apartment! Good luck mate!
Well I must tell all of you that never have my sheets been so soft!! I am in love.
I use Cheer Free and Downy Free. You can also try Dreft, which comes in powder or liquid and is made for sensitive (baby) skin. There's no smell better than plain old clean smell. Except maybe for Outside Dog Smell, but that's another story.
