I had the same problem and I used to end up with an itchy red rash. I tried
various powders and the Persil non-biological tablets were the best for my
sensitive skin. These tablets are put in the drum not in the tray. Only one
tablet per wash. I go along with what the others have said. Make sure the
tray is clean including any dried on powder. Change or clean the filter
often and depending on how often the machine is used, put it through the
hottest wash you can manage with the drum empty.
That is what works for me

I find the stink and headache fumes from drying washing usually means nobody
has bothered to empty the filter, and basically no rinsing is therfeore
taking place. Certainly on the occasions when *I* want to wash anything I
always find the filter blocked...

Incidentally, why do some washing powders leave whole neighbourhoods
smelling of dead rats: and why on earth do people wash stuff in something
that smells of dead rats?
