Is Dettol safe to use for washing baby clothes?

It is safe for anything. I use it to wash wounds on my horses, (and humans too. ) i run a rescue so it is in constant use, works like no other, but I have to ask, why would you wash baby clothes in it?

I think the best thing to do is to contact the manufacturer with this question. You cannot be too safe especially with baby clothes.If this was my situation, I don't think I would use it on baby clothes. Just my opinion.

I just bought one for cloth dipers and it can wash about 6 diapers at a time.. we use flats and pockets. it does a great job for us. I would recomend wringing them out between rinses. I do a 5 min pre-rinse, 15 min wash and 2-3 6 min rinse cycles. workslike a charm.

You use it by inserting into your cloth diapers for extra absorption. I used mine with pocket diapers, but you could place them against baby as well. You don't boil them. Some cotton inserts you have to prep by washing them several times to increase absorption, but I only washed these once or twice and they have always done well. They will continue to get fluffier and increase in absorption over time, however.

I used it as a laundry booster, similar to borax. I also tried pre-soaking some stained clothing in a diluted solution. I think oxyclean works better for the latter. I haven't tried it as a sole detergent, so I can't comment on that. However, I don't see why it wouldn't work. I have a big family and my kids are very rough on their clothes, so I always opted to use it as a secondary product.

I bought this item for my granddaughter who just turned 2 yr. I didn't find that anything in the diaper bag that she would swallow or harm herself with. She loved it so she could take care of her babies. The baby wipes were the only thing that she took out and wiped everything including the baby with. we just threw them away and replaced with paper towels.

Yes it is the only thing that we will use. Dreft causes our baby to break out in a terrible rash.

Also, if you are looking for only cover I would check out Assunta. Super affordable and good quality although they are from China. As a previous poster said, do not use softeners on diapers. You do NOT have to use cloth diaper safe detergent, tide works best.

I have not used it directly on clothing items, but have used it in home made laundry soap and had no issues.

If you're using cloth diapers now and you feel the need to spray them out, this is good. If your baby makes a "clean" poop that just falls out and leaves little on the diaper, you won't really need this. In our house, we used it on maybe every other poopy diaper. It just helps the diapers come cleaner and the pale doesn't get as funky. We washed our diapers daily but I've heard some people did every other day and I think if you have diapers in a pail 2 days, you'll want to spray them. Regardless, if you decide to buy blueberries, you're gonna need it. :)

RLR is great for stripping diapers but you don't need to use it regularly. I use Classic Rock on a regular basis.... Every 2 months After doing my initial regular rinse and wash I toss the RLR in.... and then you run it... and run it again until the water rinses clear. This could be 4-6 cycles.

I cloth diaper and use this detergent. I use a full scoop in the rinse cycle and then 2 full scoops in the heavy wash cycle. I have iron rich hard water. I've heard that this detergent doesn't work for all. But it works fine for us.We have an HE top loader

Yes, I hang towel etc and it works great. The product is definitiely strong enough for diapers.However, if you are unused to line drying and the Brabantia clothesline is hung inside with little air-movement, your diapers may be stiffer than if they were tumble dried in an electric dryer. If the Barbantia clothesline is hung outside in the wind, less stiff. That may make a differnece to your baby's bottom. Why not experiment by air drying a diaper on a line first to see if you think the diaper is supple and soft enough for your baby.

I was all of my toddler's clothes in it. Started using this when he was about 3 months old and now he's 14 months and it's great. I absolutely love this detergent and will never use anything else.

Yes, the product seems tough enough to withstand all sorts of baby matter, if you will, and seems not to discolour even with a Lysol wipe. I use Lysol, then wipe it off with a wet washcloth or a baby wipe. Also, for more frequent clean ups, I use a disinfecting hand sanitizing wipe (Clean Well) that is labeled "kid safe formula". Hope this helps.

Well, I have not used them in front loading washers, however, they do recommend it on the pamphlet. I will not buy any other detergent as long as I have my soap nuts. They are gentle on the clothes, and my load is always completely clean. They are truly amazing. I will try them shortly in a front loading machine when I show my daughter all about them and show her how well they work and how they are great for sensitive skin too.

If I were a mother again, I would have no problem buying this product for washing diapers. It has a limited capacity, but it keeps the diapers out of the regular household laundry. For busy people it may be impractical beyond infant and early toddler size diapers. But that depends on how much you mind doing several loads a week. I wouldn't mind at all. Cloth diapers are the healthiest. Babies do NOT need all the ridiculous chemicals in disposables. I say that with a little authority. I used to work in a research and development department of a baby diaper manufacturing company. Trust me. Cloth diapers are healthier than disposables. I would never let a disposable touch my baby if I didn't have to. As for the egg, you could probably get a dozen and a half newborn diapers in it. Probably eight to twelve toddler diapers. I don't think it is such a pain to hook up to a faucet that is in a second bathroom or a utility room. Otherwise it would be kind of a pain n a kitchen or only bathroom. The full wash is about thirty minutes. Wash and no rise is about fifteen. Just remember to turn the water off before removing the hose from the faucet! I wish my mom had it in the 1950's and 1960's when she had eight children and several in cloth diapers at any given time. I was an oldest daughter and often changed the cloth diapers and rinsed them in the toilet. Then put them in the bleach pail. I would have loved the ego egg. Just take the diapers out of the pail and put them in the egg. Run it and then wring them out. Throw them in the dryer or hang them up. You don't have to mix them in with regular laundry and you can dry them together, fold them and put them away.

Wash them with baby-safe detergent as you would any new clothing item that will be touching baby's skin. Never use fabric softeners - it will cause them to be less absorbent. A helpful tip my mom gave me: when washing them after use, include up to three tablespoons of vinegar. I guess a tablespoon per 10 diapers would be adequate. It will neutralize the ammonium in the urine (uric acid) and keep them from building up a stink.
