Laundry question #2

MOONGIRL2467

What do you wash LOs clothes with?!? The family detergent? Or a special baby kind, no scent etc

And I'm assuming their clothes is all a separate load?

We wash all clothing together.  DH has skin that is sensitive to laundry detergent so we use All Free and Clear with a scoop of OxiClean.  The "baby" detergent such as Dreft actually has a lot of scent to it and makes DH's skin crawl just smelling it. Honestly, the kids clothes are usually more grimy than ours so if I washed separately it would be to protect our clothes, not theirs!  ;-)

I used to use a "free" detergent. Then, we went to see the pedi about eczema, and she said it didn't really make a difference. Now I just get whatever there's a Costco coupon for.

And, yes, usually I do a separate load for DD, but...sometimes I'll throw in a couple of my own things.

Mason&Mama

Used to used All Free and Clear. Now I use anything. Mason doesn't seem sensitive.

The same bottle of Dreft I got when I was still pregnant. 1 big bottle of this sh!t probably lasts 5 years. I swear it's not even a quarter gone.

I use the same fragrance-free detergent for all of our clothes.  I only do laundry on the weekends, so G's hamper usually has a full load in it. So I guess you could say we do them separately.

lol we also shop at Costco and get the coupon detergent.  

 

I don't think DD is sensitive but I love how dreft smells  and she also gets her own load and toss in any tops I feel are more fragile lol  

 

Do you ladies hang dry any soft blankets or footed pjs? I used to and then threw them in the dryer and they are not as soft! Major laundry fail .

Everything from clothes to diapers with Tide. I sort by color not by wearer so LO's clothes get added to ours.

CD newbie, but I thought tide wasn't recommended for diapers? What kind do you use?

dairygirl19

Tide. Preferably unscented but I'll buy the Mt. Spring kind if Target is out.

I do baby clothes separately usually just becuase I have enough, but I throw her whites in with ours or if I need to round out a load, I'll mix it all together.

We use some sort of free and clear.  We usually get the brand thats the cheapest that week.  We all use the same detergent but we use different dryer sheets for DD.  She gets free and clear dryer sheets and we use scented ones. 

We also wash her clothes/sheets/blankets separately from our clothing.

katie4253

Whatever we have.  Right now it's regular tide or tide free. 

nedmac1021

Dreft for Lacey's clothes and separate from ours.

We just started using Method for our clothes and so far so good, but before that we used Tide. 

AmandaP678

All clear dye free or something like that

We've been using Tide powder, they only make the "ultra" now, original scent. I've read mixed reviews, mostly that it's fine though, so I figured I'd try since it's relatively cheap/easy to find. 

Been CDing for 9 months without any issues so I guess it works lol.

CocoBrynne

We use All Free and Clear or Arm and Hammer unscented

swimiz500

We use Arm & Hammer free. I do Lena's clothes and my clothes together. DH's are separate, because men are filthy and their clothes are nasty. My baby and I do not need his filth in our laundry. And now you know how crazy I am

I wash all our clothes in All Free and Clear and cloth diapers in powder Tide.

nbbride06

This.

Sometimes I use Charlie's Laundry Soap on clothes. I bought it to use on diapers, but shortly after I stocked up on it, we started having a stink problem. :-/  So I only use Tide powder on diapers.

I got a deal on a whole box of Dropps for the baby when I was pregnant thinking I could use them on her CD - however, they suck on CD. So...I will continue to do her laundry separate using the Dropps until they're gone, and then mix her clothes in with ours using All free+clear.

I use Allen's for her CDs.
