I am using Lux Flakes for the girls clothes due to Bella's skin irritation.. Well it doesn't clean their clothes properly they still look dirty... Is there a way to clean them better?? Can I use pre-wash stain remover, or does that just defeat the purpose??  SignatureKelly Mummy to Emily (12 Aug 01) and Isabella (5 Dec 02) That's one reason I switched to something different. Are you dissolving the soap first before putting in the clothes? I'd use the stain remover as it will get rinsed off twice in the wash anyway.

Kelly, what i used to do, with my dd, who was allergic to the perfumes in everything, was washing normally, and then wash again, without anything.. ie two washes one with normal detergent. one with nothing.

This is what I do, (both DH and Mr 2 get excema) If you do an extra wash and/or rinse there's no need to use 'special'(expensive) detergents. Because we have a fount loader I use either 'Duomatic' or 'Dynamatic' depending on which is cheaper. Choose one without too much perfume and 'experiment' with amounts, the recommended amount is usually way too much (they just want you to buy more). I also sort the washing according to how dirty they are and/or whether they're worn against the skin, or are outer clothes - the 'dirtier' ones get more deterg. And, if you need fabric softener, white vinegar is great - also kills any lingering germs, especially if you wash in cold water as I usually do..... Lynette Have you tried OMO sensitive? Do you hang them in the sun, this is good for whitening stuff...

I find fabric softeners a bit too highly perfumed, are there any that aren't stinky, or is that one of the things you like about them? Lynette thats what I like, the stink factor. highly perfumed things appeal to me at the moment. especially sweet fragrances. I remember perfume used to make me ill when pregnant with MissyV and seedy with MissyA, but this time I *love* it. I wear a heap and when something smells shonky I stick my head down my top :p bimbette >>> im a sucker for fabric softner to. >> [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Lynette >I find fabric softeners a bit too highly perfumed, are there any that >aren't stinky, or is that one of the things you like about them? i like the jasmine smelling ones...

For the rest of us we use whatever big box(15kg) is on special at bigw, at the moment its fab...I prefer OMO though.

I never really noticed a scent until I was preggers, now it's one of those smells I'd prefer not to have around! Thank goodness theres are a few other good fount load deterg around these days......
