Washing "bumps " clothes etc

[Nicky1306]

Hi, I am about to tackle the task of washing bumps clothes, blankets, bedding etc. I'm thinking non bio is best with a sensitive fabric conditioner? X x

I used (and still do for dd clothes) fairy non bio powder and fairy fabric softener I love the smell!

I would go with that. I used soap nuts and lavender oil to washing all their things, still do.

Non bio is good, but not the fabric softener.

Im using presil non bio and comfort pure or supermarkets own version of tisfabric softner. This seems not to irritate my nearly 2 year old with eczema. So figure it should be okay. Last time used fairy but its quite expensive.

General advice is to use non bio but avoid a fabric softener completely as the chemicals can irritate baby's skin.
I always add in an extra rinse to make sure all soap powder has gone.
If you want soft and use a tumble dryer you can always use tumble dryer balls .

I used non-bio but never used a fabric softener.

In terms of making sure there aren't too many chemicals left on the clothes, I always halve the powder dosage (cheaper than an extra rinse too!) - so when using the Fairy non-bio tablets I use one per wash instead of two. Works absolutely fine.

you don't need fabric softener, but yes, use non-bio and use less than you would normally to avoid residue build up.

Oh no I've done all mine with fairy non bio and ecover chemical free fabric softener. Should I start again?

There's no such thing as 'chemical free' fabric softener, given that the entire physical world is made up of chemicals.

I would start again. But I've had a DS with sensitive skin, so v careful. Some people don't even wash the stuff and the world keeps spinning!

I have never heard about not using fabric softener

Just stay away from things with enzymes in ie. use non bio.
