Dreft - Santa Clara,CA

Hello Mom's. My daughter is 15 1/2 months now. We have always used Dreft detergent on all her clothes, blanket, and ect. I was wondering at what age do you think we could use regular detergent? Do you have any recommendations on what is another good detergent for toddlers clothes?

Any "Free and Clear" (no perfumes no dye)detergent should be fine. I never used Dreft as our dr said the free and clears were fine from the beginning.

You could try washing a load in your regular detergent and watching for a reaction (dry, red or itchy skin), but I liek the free and clear because it fine for everybody.

Hi T.,
I have always used detergents that are dye and fragrance free (there are many to choose from). They are great for sensitive skin of all ages. I have 2 boys, 1 of which has sensitive skin like DH.

They also make dye/fragrance free dryer sheets.

I only used dreft for a few months and then I now use the Tide sensitive skin or scent free and that seems to work really good for all of our clothes.

At around 18 months we switched to Method Free + Clear for everyone's clothes. I have been pleased with it. I was surprised that it even got the stink out of my husband's biking clothes! ( he bikes 5 miles to and from work most of the year)
