Napisan or Vanish?

[ladybirdsarelovely33]

I have a young child who messes up a lot of clothes esp as we are toilet training. I end up using Vanish gold to put on spots before putting in the wash. However would adding Vanish powder or some Napisan be equally effective?
The latter two are more economical time wise and money wise.

In my experience toilet training accidents wash out of most things with just normal washing powder.
If there is dried on poo I might do a prewash with some napisan or just biological washing powder.

I too find a good biological powder gets stains out at a 40* wash.

bio powder and cotton (long) cycle gets most stains out.

For any stains, Iput fairy liquid on the clothes and give them a scrub under a tap, then wash as normal with some napisan

We have to use non bio washing up powder due to eczema.
Sometimes it gets sent home from nursery with dried on poo.
So need to use more than washing up powder for sure.

Using Vanish is no different to using biological..Vanish is just more concentrated with enzymes (what makes biological detergent biological), as well as oxygen bleach. I think Napisan is just oxygen bleach like Ace.

I'd try bio, see how you go, and/or add Vanish powder to the wash when stained.

If you use a bio without a strong scent and do triple rinsing, you will probably be pleasantly surprised. It's mainly in the rinsing. Either in the machine or wash them without a spin, put them in the sink and rinse them and then back in the machine for a rinse/spin. Modern washing machines don't use much water. Ariel is fine in my household, as is Waitrose own (and both are tolerated better than Persil non bio with only standard rinsing). Surf didn't go down well, it is strongly scented though.

tbh the bio-bad for eczema is a bit if a myth.
if you use the longer cycles(with at least 3 rinses -check the manual) and keep to the recommended dose it usually doesn't affect skin much.

Agree with the other posters, my ds had n
eczema and I always used the extra rinse button on my washing machine and never had any problems with biological powder.
I'm afraid non biological just didn't get my clothes clean or stain free.
