I can only use Radiant or Omo & Omo Sensitive but half the amount it says on the packet. Any other washing powder makes me itch. I also do an extra rinse just to make sure all the powder is gone.
My DS2 comes out in a rash with heavily perfumed washing powder so I switched over to Purity Sensitive laundry liquid and we haven't had a problem since
They are both great - especially because you only use 2 tablespoons in the wash. The Eco Store one is basically just mineral salts so nothing nasty. You can get it online if you cant find it at your supermarket.
I used to get terrible excema and still do if I am really stressed but I use Radiant sensitive powder and only about 1/2 what it recommends. I also do a second rinse cycle or upsize the load between wash and rinse when I am about (so that there is more water used in the rinse cycle)
Thanks guys! So I'll start using less detergent and add an extra rinse cycle...gee the simple things I never seem to think of!
AJP, how do I use bi-carb? I've been using vinegar as fabric softener and odour neutraliser but that's as "natural" as I am lol.
Thanks for the suggestions - I've been using the yellow hurricane liquid forever (hehe Jleigh!) but I'll try some others to see if there's any improvement in the boys' skin. So I'm starting with Purity liquid for sensitive skin (coz it was on special and very inexpensive) and if I see no improvement will try another and so on.
DS gets terrible nappy rash so I would really like something mild to wash his nappies with. Would love to see how the bi carb affects it.
