Do you know what the the baby laundry detergent brand most recommended by pediatricians is? Specially formulated for the unique needs of baby items, Dreft is as gentle as water on baby’s skin and has helped moms and dads clean baby clothes for over 75 years. Dreft is one of those parenting things you hand down to your kids and tell your friends about.  I know I received several bottle of Dreft at my baby shower!  This is also a great detergent to use if you have an allergy to detergents.  It's one of the few out there that you shouldn't have any problems with!

Dreft also has a site you can check out.  They have some great laundry tips, how to prepare for when baby comes home (aff), and even how to remove food, soil or oily stains.

  108. Love Dreft! Used it when my five year old was a little-one and plan on using it again with my next one! My laundry tip was mentioned earlier – I never use fabric softener when I was the baby clothes because it reduces the flame resistance. I also like to use vinegar with baby whites because it makes them soft and gets rid of stains. Speaking of stains – my bff is OxyClean!

    Rinse cloth diapers with cold water immediately after use.
    Pre-soak in a solution of Dreft® and a color-safe bleach for 30 minutes.
    After soaking, wring out excess water by hand or run diapers through the spin cycle.
    Fill washer with warmest water allowed according to garment label, add 1 1/2 uses of Dreft® and launder as usual.
    Repeat process if needed.

    While no one detergent can remove all types of stains, we recommend the following for greasy, oily stains such as baby lotion, baby oil, liquid vitamins etc:

    * Before treating any garment, always refer to the care label instructions first.
    * Colored items must be protected by pre-testing the effects of stain removal techniques on a hidden area on the item.
    * Pretreat stain with liquid or powder Dreft® before laundering.
    * Launder as usual in warmest water allowed according to garment label using 1 1/2 uses of Dreft®.
    * Line or air dry, and repeat process if needed.
