Laundry Detergent? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

LDandPasquale · 03-12-2009, 01:32 PM

I'm trying to look for a good laundry detergent to use for Pasquale's clothes. Something that has NO Perfumes or dyes...and fights stains. Anyone have any good suggestions???

Have you tried Dreft? It's for babies so I'm wondering if it would work for your furbaby clothes too. I can't remember the name of the spray I used for stains so maybe someone else has some suggestions.

I use the Kirland (Costo) brand - No Dyes, No Perfumes - Free and Clear. I also use Oxyclean with their stuff. No fabric softeners either

try using ivory dish water soap in warm water, i have found this to be good for everything that needs cleaning, like load of clothes any color, wood floors(it actually takes the buildup off) On floors you let it sit for a few seconds then wipe with paper towel and look at how much dirt you have gotten up! For any clothes you can use it as a spot remover it is amazing. Also green friendly and cheap.

We use Tide Free or Cheer Free. Any of the ones that are free of dye and perfumes can be good. It is important not to use the fabric softeners or dryer sheets either. They can be very irritating and cause rashes in both humans and pets.

We use Tide Free and Clear as well as Downy Free. My son has allergies. They work really well.

When I was in the States, I used Fresh Start if I could find it...it was recommended by a dermatologist. Otherwise I used All Free and used Zout spray for really bad stains. Boraxo is a good whitener and stain remover. I have allergies...fragrances make me sneeze and additives give me a rash...and these worked well for me.

We dont have the allergies with our little furbutt but when our daughter was a baby we always used Ivory Snow or Dreft because of her allergies.
