good alternative to surcare washing liquid?

I wash our clothes with surcare as our little ones have mild eczema. Im not too sure that soap powder does trigger their eczema as they have worn clothing washed by by mother before and she doesnt use Surcare.

Id like to try an alternative, as Im not sure surcare is cleaning that well, what do you suggest I try? Is fairy nonbio any good?

thankyou

Mine both get eczema and its only from using Surecare that I've banished it. But it did take a long time - maybe 6 wks. Had to bathe the kids in Oilatum Junior too.

i get detergent related dermatitis and use whatever non bio is on offer, but only about half the recommended dose. my mum rinses everything twice which is another (rather more wasteful) method. both work.

My DSs eczema cleared up using Ecover.

Irt did take a while though.

The non bio thing is also rubbush tbh. Non Bio is only made for the British market. I use Ecover Bi9ological

we use ecover with no problems with ds1 and ds2 ezcema.

I wash the cloths in surcare or whatever I have to if I run out and then wash over again in just water. I know but I have found it's the best thing.

I have use Ecover Bio for about 3 yrs now,and no longer suffer with eczema.It also is good for getting stains out on a40 wash.

Also tried this,but I felt it wasn't as good as Ecover.

Filetti (sp?) very mild. Bit pricey - in a pink bag with a picture of a baby on the front, most supermarkets. (Waitrose certainly, almost certain I used to get it in Safeway as was.) Lasts a long time.
