    Washing liquid for baby's clothes

    Hi all

    Just curious as to what you use to wash bubs' newborn clothes in.

    Unfortunately I can't use the Lux soap flakes as I have a frontloader. Any other recommendations?

    I've been told that Amolin Sensitive Laundry liquid is quite good. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

    TIA!!

    i really like using the earth brand. have no complaints with it, and it is gentle!

    I have done bubs clothes with Lux in my front loader. I dissolve the flakes in hot water and add them to the drum with the clothes. It's probably not reccomended or something.....

    Its not recommended.
    I used amolin and purity in my front loader when we had one.
    In the top loader i use lux flakes, dissolved.

    I just used our normal washing powder but used about half the amount i would for our clothes. Our machine also has a couple of extra rinse options, so I put all DD's loads of washing on with an "Intensive Rinse" cycle as well. She hasn't had any problems so far. Neither I or DF have sensitive skin though.

    Amolin is awesome.

    Also, from an environmental perspective, it is the best option you can buy at a supermarket. Bettter than Earth Choice, waaaaaaaaaaay better than aware. That's why we started using it, but now I'm just in love with the smell of it!

    Looks like Amolin is quite popular - that's great! Can't wait to do my first load of baby washing using this. There is obviously no need to use anything else in the same wash (i.e. fabric softner?), simply use the amolin liquid?

    If you go to your nearest health food store, you will see various kinds of eco-friendly brands of detergent that are free of harsh chemicals. EnviroClean is a goodie.
