Non-biological laundry detergent available in the US?
I'm from the UK, visiting the US for a few months. I am allergic to biological laundry detergents. I can't seem to find any non-biological detergent available. Is it sold under a different term in the US? Is there a specific brand I should buy? Most of the ones I can find at the supermarket say somewhere on the back that they contain biodegradable surfactants and enzymes, which I assume means that they're what we would call biological in the UK, and would make me itch. Is this correct?

I am allergic to all detergents except Cheer. Not sure what it is that makes me react with the rest but, I have found that Cheer doesnt hurt me. So, if you are still at a loss it may be worth a try.
