    Ecostore or Aware here too.

    I do often use bi-carb if we run out lol And it works a treat.
    I simply don't use 'commercial' washing powders like Omo, Drive etc - their addatives and fragrences are no good for your skin, no good for your clothes and sure as hell no good for the environment.

    I am starting to wash my baby stuff today actually! With all the rain we've had I thought I'd take the opportunity while the sun is shining, not sure how many good washing days are left before winter sets in. I already have eczema and very sensitive skin and it took me years to find what I use now which is the Melaleuca washing liquid. I have found it great for my skin so will be washing bub's stuff with that too.

    Initially I used the lux flakes for Ally's clothes before she was born, cause thats what was recommended to me, but I hated them. Pain in the but to disolve before washing and didn't leave any nice smell or anything on the clothes.
    My mum took over the washing when I came out of hospital (cause I had major surgery 3 days after Ally was born so my recovery time was loooonnnnnggggg) and she just used her normal washing liquid, which was fine for Ally's skin, and now I'm back on washing duty I just use the same liquid we've always used.

    We used amolin with DS, mainly because it was given to me as SIL found it worked best for her.

    but I didn't use it for very long, and we haven't had any adverse effects.

    You do have to be I already use it in my shampoo every 4 weeks or so, 'cause I can't afford the expensive stuff.
