eco living - laundry

Babies skin is very delicate and may react to common laundry detergents, so having a baby in the house, it makes sense to switch the whole family to an eco wash (if you haven't already!)

Eco washing liquids/powder:

Eco washing liquids/powders are now available in most supermarkets.

Also check out our blog on Soap Nuts.

Wash balls:

Wash balls are another option. These apparently eliminate the need to use detergents at all.

These are meant to work fabulously with nappies, but are not great for getting out stains, you will need to use a spot stain remover.

Washing nappies:
