Do you still wash your DC's clothes separately and with mild detergent?

If no, how old were they when you stopped?

Thanks!

We use all free and clear for eveyone's clothes but I still usually wash the kid's clothes separately just because it is easier to sort/put away.

i never separated the kids clothes, even as newborns and we use ALL, Tide or Arm n Hammer.

neither of my kids had any reaction so i felt there as no need

We never did, we just wash everyones clothes all together. I use half a measure of fabric softner with all loads. I find a whole measure is too much.

No... once I ran out of the small bottle of Dreft, I would only wash his seperate...but then it was just becoming annoying washing such a tiny load every other day...so now I was it all together. I only use Tide..

Yes, because it's just easier for sorting and putting away. When I run out of free and clear detergent though I will just use ours. We stocked up on it, so we have a lot!

Re: Do you still wash your DC's clothes separately and with mild detergent?

Everyone's laundry is done seperately in my house ( I was tired of DH leaving tissues in his pockets and ruining my work clothes)

I use All free and clear detergent for all of us

No. Not since her was about 2-3 months. It was to much work.

Yes..his stuff is so small, its easier to keep it separate and easier to sort.

I still wash his clothes separate in Tide Free and Clear. It is much easier to wash one load of his clothes and fold it right away.

When we finished the huge bottle of dreft, I switched us over to all free and clear and that is what we use for all our laundry. We still wash DS' clothes seperatly so it is easier to sort them out (little socks and washclothes tend to get lost very easily if they're mixed in together).

Re: Do you still wash your DC's clothes separately and with mild detergent?

We all use All free and clear even from before DS. We do not separate DS' clothes from ours. We have not been since he was a baby. Maybe when he was a NB because it was just easier and we had a lot of change of clothes during the day (bibs, etc...) so we could do a load just for him but that stopped rather quickly.

I do all darks and all whites. It's just easier.

washing free and clear across the board made life easier should socks, bibs, etc get tossed in with stuff

Re: Do you still wash your DC's clothes separately and with mild detergent?

yes. Im kind of neurotic though. We live in a co-op and have like a common washroom, like a laundromat and I wash our clothes there but not DDs. I wash hers seperatley at my moms and I use free and clear for everyone bc Im sensitive so better safe than sorry for baby

Re: Do you still wash your DC's clothes separately and with mild detergent?

nope...we started out with the regular cheap detergent we use and when we saw no reaction we didnt see a reason to buy special detergent or to was her clothes seperatly.
