When you realize that they're leaning against you & your clothes have been washed with regular detergent - and you're tired of paying for Dreft.

What I did is washed a few outfits with my regular laundry. If they wore them without a reaction, you can switch.

Re: Detergent question

Thanks Barb...I'm getting tired of paying for Dreft. He leans all over me and his face and body don't break out. I think it's time to switch.

I'm really saving money lately...first the formula and now the dreft...Chat Icon

Re: Detergent question

I use All Free and Clear since he was 3 months. I only buy it when it's on sale. When I run out, I'll probably just use the detergent I use for our clothes.

Re: Detergent question

I used the dreft till I ran out of it and I had a couple of jugs of it that I had got as gifts. I had mixed some of her outfits with my laundry to see if she would have a reaction to the regualr detergent which she didn't but I just recently switch to all Free and clear I like that much better

We stopped using Dreft a month ago at 5 mos. We use Purex Free and Clear now. It almost always on sale at Target for $3 for the medium sized bottle.

Re: Detergent question

Good question...I was wondering this myself. Glad to see I might be able to switch over, once this last bottle of Dreft is done. Chat Icon

I bought one big bottle of Dreft for each kid, and when it was all gone, the baby clothes got washed in what ever detergent I had at the time.

I stopped around a year old and now use All Free & Clear on everything. I don't use fabric softener on the kids' clothes.

Re: Detergent question

I stopped at a year. I used Dreft only until that time. Now I can only use All, but not free and clear because that effects my skin. Tide gives Molly a rash.

I never washed Alex's clothes separate from ours. He never had any problems.

Re: Detergent question

I've been using All Free & Clear or even Purex Free & Clear (which is pretty cheap) since about 3 months. The dreft was just too expensive, even though I lvoed the smell of it.
