Baby Girl Onesies Biography
Eco-balls offer an alternative way of cleaning, as do soap nuts a natural fruit that can be used in laundry (It is used extensively in ayurveda for problem skin conditions). They both offer a laundry cleaning soloution leaving little to no residue in clothing. Although they may not get clothes as brilliantly white as we’ve come to expect using modern detergents, this is a sacrifice many people are more than happy to make.
Old fashioned Soap flakes are especially kind to skin and clean clothes well, but will still leave a residue and scum build up (especially in hard water areas). So they will take a bit more rinseing and possibly additions of washing soda crystals too.
There are also powders available in supermarkets that are made to be kinder to sensitive skins, Surecare is one brand. If you do choose to use a detergent often 1/2 the recommended amount of product can be just as effective at cleaning but less irritating and an extra rinse cycle is a good idea too. Bicarbonate of soda can also help. It removes smells, stains and some hard water residues, leaving clothes fresh and soft.
Fabric Softener
Fabric softener should be avoided. If you’re washing with something that doesn’t leave a residue in your clothes, you’ll find that your clothes are naturally soft anyway. Another option is a little white viniger in the softner compartment.
Testing what’s right for you
It takes more than a couple of washes to know whether a new washing solution is better than a previous one, because a combination of several washing product residues may well be even more irritating than just one.
We found also it wasn’t just the baby’s clothes that needed a safe washing solution; small children spend so much time in your arms and against your clothing that making the change for everyone will have better results. While our son’s skin was still recovering you could see his little head and face redden when he was being held by a friend whose clothing was washed in regular powders.
Clothes and laundry have such a big impact on eczema that I can’t stress enough how important it is to get right. There are no easy answers here and what is fine for one person won’t be fine for another; it really is careful trial and error. Clothing sits so close to the skin that it really is worth the effort to make sure it’s as safe as possible for your child.
I knew my little boy was having a problem with fabrics, but I really struggled in making things safe for him to wear, even now after an hour in something not right for him, the little red spots that signal the start of a break out will appear on his skin.
I ordered new organic vests for my baby; these have only ever been washed in water with either a tiny bit of bicarbonate of soda or spot cleaned with pure mild hand soap. All his items are hand washed. They’re not as clean or as fresh smelling as I might like, but that’s a tiny price to pay for a lovely non itchy tummy!
Update – Josh is now a year old; amongst his triggers he has is a very extreme contact reaction to all detergents. He still can ware only organic clothing; hand washed in organic soap. Our house is detergent free as the smallest trace is enough to trigger the frantic itching. Having said that for the most part his skin is amazing; people are surprised when I tell them he has eczema.
