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.

For wash balls, check out our:
US "where to shop" or NZ "where to shop" directory.

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:
