Motel fabric softener!

This weekend I stayed at a motel I've never stayed at before. First off, they gave me a smoking room (last one available). I told them I'd check it out if I can stay in there. I walked in- no smoke smell.   I told the okay I'd take it.

There was a faint perfume smell in the air, but it didn't seem to bother me. That night I laid down in the bed on my own pillow and pulled the sheets up on me. I couldn't smell them because I had my Cpap running.

The next morning I woke up with a very red & itchy puffy face.   Also I was wheezing and coughing like crazy. I had to pour on the rescue inhaler and the benadryl.

Last night at home I started to lay down with my Cpap and started to cough and wheeze again. I had to change the air filter on the machine to get the remaining odors of the room out of it.

Travel is dangerous.

Hi Joy,
I once made the mistake you just did, and now I make reservations ahead. I call before arriving to make sure there is a non-smoking room - and have asked for a different room when I smelled that the room had been smoked in despite the label.

I'm allergic to the detergents motels and hospitals use. I can ask for double-rinsed sheets in the hospital. I take my own sheets and pillow when travelling.

I only use All Free and Clear detergent - no sulfites. I double rinse everything.

Take your own bath soap, shampoo and skin creams too!

My cousin made the reservation for me. He messed up on ordering the room.
I had my own pillow, soap, and shampoo.
It wasn't the mask needing replacement, it was the air filter. I get all my cpap supplies free so I couldn't ask for a replacement charge.

I use All free and clear and downy free for my sheets.

I'm off again the next two days. My Aunt died suddenly last night and I'm heading back to the same town I was in last weekend. :(
I'm going to have to stay at the same motel again. >:<
This time my pillow, my blanket, and my towels are coming!
I've go back up filters for the Cpap so I won't be bring home the odors in it.

Thank you, Sherry.

We didn't stay in the same hotel again.
The one we wound up staying did have a faint smoke odor in the bathroom, but when we turned on the fan it wasn't so bad and it didn't bother me much.
I slept on my own pillow and covered up with blankets from my house. Aside from a noisy air conditioner I was able to sleep okay and woke up with just a little coughing.
