I also have strong desire for detergent and rubber on the soles of my sons school plimsoles. I find that if I chew a flannel soaked in water and a bit of detergent it helps ease the craving as sometimes it gets very strong.

I crave laundry detergent, too. I want to ingest it really bad! I am pregnant with my second baby and I did the same thing with my first pregnancy. I only like it in the powder form. I have tried to eat just a little to see if it helps, but it doesn't I want more. I know I can't eat it, but I want to!

Im pregnant with my second, and with both i have had cravings for soap and laundry detergent. But worse this time, i can hardly keep myself from literally wanting to eat them both. I dont know why i do this or what i can do to help this. Does anyone have any advice. Its getting serious. Some people think im crazy for craving what i crave, but i know there's others out there who do the same thing.
