Answer #3

You need a gentle detergent for baby clothes to avoid giving them a rash - something like Ivory Snow. If you’re finding it’s not taking out stains, then soak the items in a pail with oxyclean, then rinse them out before you wash them.

Answer #4

I don’t know if you will have this brand where you live, but here in NZ, there is a detergent specially made to be gentle on children’s skin when they are wearing the clothes, but really good at getting stains out (cause kids always have grass, mud stains etc haha). It smells nice too. It’s called Persil.

Answer #5

well i bought him a baby one specific for baby clothes but it doesnt get rid ofthe stains

Answer #6

Dreft.

Answer #7

Dreft, or anything that says free and clear

Answer #8

you can also continue to use your current detergent just put it thru an extra rinse cycle to make sure it is all rinsed out. That is what my sister’s day care did and they never had any problems. if you still want to use a specific detergent targeted at babys tide free and gentle works great and shouldn’t irritate your little ones skin as it has been dermalogically tested.
