What fabric conditioner / degergent for newborn clothes

[NightSkyWanderer]

Wondering what fabric conditioner or washing powder you use for newborns?
It says online don't use anything just hot water but I can't see how that would get stains off. Is the comfort fabric conditioner with the baby on front suitable?

I always used fairy on mine and it smells beaut

@NightSkyWanderer thankyou very much

I just always used Aldi’s own. I’ve never used fabric conditioner.

I used Fairy gel detergent and softener with no problems.

I've always used Aldi non bio liquid and fairy softener and I have a 2yo, 1yo and expecting a 3rd

Mine are grown now, but I always used Ecover powder and no conditioner. The least artificial fragrances that they breathe in, the better.

We have a water softener fitted so haven't used fabric conditioner in years!

Just Persil non bio, same as all our clothes. Don’t bother with fabric conditioner, biggest rip off going!

Used the same washing liquid as the family wash but don’t use fabric conditioner.

Fabric conditioner isn’t needed.
fairy non bio worked a treat with a spoon of stain remover - napisan was good

I used to use Lux soap flakes, I don’t know if they’re still available. I’ve never used a conditioner, but always rinse well.

Whatever non bio is offer, I’m not brand loyal. Don’t use fabric softener.

Fairy non bio, no softener.

I used supermarket own brand non -bio washing powder along with antibacterial laundry cleanser when mine were newborns, now 3.5 and 10m. No fabric conditioner though, never used it.

Is napisan better than bio detergent, then?

I planned to use non-bio but I wasn't sure it would get stains out.

I used to use fairy non bio . I've never used conditioner. If I had a baby now I would wash their clothes in the same powder( Lidl) that I wash the rest of our clothes in.

Non bio (any) and nobody ever needs to use fabric conditioner. It’s a completely eco-unfriendly non product. Wash a high temp to get rid of sick/poo bacteria.

I’ve always washed my one year old and three year old’s clothes in the same detergent as the rest of the household. We don’t use fabric conditioner. I also had the Dettol laundry cleanser on hand for any particularly grim loads of washing.

On a side note I don’t use softener on my kids clothes but put a few drops in for things like knitted jumpers. Do you not find they go really crackly and awful if you don’t?

Fabric softener doesn't do anything for stains.

I used vanish spray plus a normal, bio detergent and for poo/weaning stains you can hang the clothes in as much sunlight as you can access - outside on a sunny day is best, but through a window, outside on a cloudy day is also fine. Like magic for those stains.

Do 'Surcare' make washing detergents? They make washing up liquid that is meant to be good.

No not really. What do you mean by crackly?

Ecover. The less toxins the better and artificial fragrance isn’t good for anyone.
The apple blossom and almond softener smells soooo good.

I used Surcare with both DCs when they were newborns. Also washed any baby things in the sink with Surcare washing up liquid.

Whatever was on offer when I did the shop…

Genuinely didn’t occur to me to wash their stuff in anything other than what I was already using for our own clothes.
