What would be considered a mild detergent?

A mild laundry detergent is generally one that still contains surfactants that dissolve dirt and grease but oftentimes are less harsh on fabrics and skin. Many liquid laundry detergents are considered to be mild and tend to be the ones without fragrances or dyes and often are labelled “free and clear.”

Here is a list of 15 mild laundry detergents that are popular with consumers in no particular order:

• Woolite
• Ivory Snow
• All Free Clear
• Method 8X Free and Clear
• Purex Hypoallergenic Free and Clear
• Tide Free and Gentle
• Arm & Hammer Free of Perfumes and Dyes
• up & up free and clear (Target’s signature brand)
• Biokleen Free and Clear
• Dreft
• Seventh Generation Natural Free and Clear 
• Charlie’s Soap Laundry Powder
• Nellie’s All-Natural Laundry Soap Soda Powder
• Planet 2X 
• Earth Friendly Ecos Free and Clear

Mild detergents are ideal for those who have sensitive skin or skin conditions such as eczema or psoriasis. Babies are especially prone to skin irritation from harsh chemicals, fragrances or dyes, so mild detergents are recommended to avoid any rashes, hives or other allergic reactions. 

Do you need to use special detergent for babies?

If you can afford it, it is a good idea to use special laundry detergent that is specifically made for baby’s sensitive skin. Though recommended, it is not 100% necessary. If you choose not to use baby laundry detergent, then perhaps instead use a mild detergent that is free of fragrances and dyes that can be irritating to baby’s new skin. You can reread the list of mild detergents named above and choose one that will be less likely to irritate baby’s sensitive skin. If you opt not to separate the baby’s laundry from the rest of the household’s loads, be sure to always wash soiled cloth diapers in a load on their own. Cloth diapers should be washed alone in a mild detergent with the hot water setting utilizing the washing machine’s extra rinse cycle at the end.

What is the best smelling detergent?

Scent is very subjective. What smells nice to one person could be malodorous to another. Patchouli oil, musk and many florals are good examples of love-hate opinions on scents. Some of the more popular laundry detergent scents are from Tide, Gain and Downy. In fact, these detergent scents are so popular that Febreze has used some of these particular scents in their aerosol air fresheners. Of course, the best smelling detergent in the end is the one that makes you happy with every whiff and sniff.

What is the best fabric softener to use?

A simple search on Google proves there are many different answers to this question and it seems everyone has a different opinion on this subject. Consumer Reports says Ultra Gain Joyful Expressions liquid is the best fabric softener. The Spruce claims Bounce sheets are rated as the best. According to WiseBread.com, the five best fabric softeners are as follows:

1. Bounce Dryer Sheets that are sheets you simply throw in the dryer. Because they are sheets, there is no messy measuring for liquid risking the wrong amount for your washing machine load. 
2. Downy Ultra Infusions Liquid Fabric Softener provides not only a long-lasting scent, but it also does a great job in removing static and softening the laundry.
3. Seventh Generation Fabric Softener Sheets are environmentally friendly and are offered in convenient sheet form. These fabric softener sheets are plant derived and chemical free.
4. Seventh Generation Natural Fabric Softener is a liquid fabric softener. Liquid tend to do a slightly better job at softening and removing static cling. This brand of fabric softener is made with non-toxic biodegradable ingredients also making it hypoallergenic.
5. Smart Sheep 100% Wool Dryer Balls not only make your laundry soft and static free but are reusable for many loads and are said to reduce drying time making this one of the most economical and eco-friendly fabric softener on the market today.

Which is better: liquid fabric softener or dryer sheets?

Consumer Reports says, “Conventional wisdom suggests that you should use fabric-softener sheets in the dryer to lessen static cling, but we found that liquids you use in the washing machine reduced the static charge in a load of synthetic clothing slightly better than sheets did. Our tests of 12 liquids, eight sheets, a dryer ball, and a reusable dryer cloth revealed one excellent product: Ultra Gain Joyful Expressions liquid, and debunked the belief that fabric softeners, especially liquids, leave towels far less absorbent.” Consumer Reports went on to report, “The best overall softener was Ultra Gain Joyful Expressions liquid. If you prefer dryer sheets, consider Bounce, Gain, or Kirkland Signature (Costco). Among the best fabric softeners we tested, many liquids do one load per ounce. The Ultra Gain Joyful Expressions, Ultra Downy with Febreze, and Ultra Downy concentrated liquids give you a few more loads than regular products for the same weight. If scent bothers you, try Ultra Downy liquid or Bounce sheets, the only conventional products we tested that come in an unscented version.”

How do you remove fabric softener from towels?

Sometimes fabric softener can build up on your laundry creating almost a film over the fabric. When this happens to towels, they become less absorbent. Here are a few simple steps from Kathy Adams on hunker.com to help remove this residue from the towel’s fabric:

First, wash small loads of towels with your regular detergent and, of course, no fabric softener

Then, OPTION 1: rewash the same small load of clean towels using ½ cup of baking soda in addition to a small amount of your usual detergent

Or OPTION 2: rewash the same small load of clean towels using 1 cup of white vinegar instead of detergent

Both vinegar and baking soda will work equally well in not only “cutting through the coating” but also in removing any trapped odors in the towels. Be certain to dry the laundered towels thoroughly, obviously, without a dryer sheet either in the dryer or on an outdoor clothesline and your towels will return to being absorbent again.

How do you get laundry detergent stains out of clothes?

What do you do when what the detergent that you used to get your laundry clean actually caused a stain? The Cleaning Institute recommends that if the stain is caused by a detergent or a powdered laundry aid, add 1 cup of white vinegar to 1 quart of water in a plastic container and soak the stained article for an hour before rinsing well. If fabric softener stains were caused by a dryer that was too hot, rub the stain with a bar of soap, then wash as usual.
