Bio or non-bio for washing baby clothes?

[anita665]

What is everyone planning on using?

With both of my children I always used non-bio when they were babies but from maybe 11 or 12 months switched back to using the biological stuff. None of us have ever had a problem with it.

Do I really need to switch to non-bio? It just seems to be the thing that everyone does but I don't know if it really matters that much...

I have bought separate non-bio for the baby's things. I think Bio would be too harsh on their sensitive skin.

Yes, always non-bio for babies and sensitive skin

I'd be using non-bio anyway, ever since I was small I've come out with an itchy rash if bio washing powder has been used (it's something my dad still holds against me to this day.... "because of you we have to use rubbish washing powder"). I think for sensitive skin and babies it's better anyway even if it's just because it has a softer scent to it.

I have never bought special detergent. Just tossed my son's stuff in with my own. It was fine. I guess he didn't have sensitive skin.

I'm using non bio but my hubby has psoriosis and he gets an itchy rash with the bio so I wont be using any different for the baby. If we did use bio I would buy non bio for baby though as bio can aggrivate baby's skin, especially if they have eczema.

I use bio, my LO suffered with eczema as a newborn but it went away and I have never had any problems. I do (usually) add an extra rinse cycle at the end of any load with his clothes in just to make sure its all rinsed away.

I use non bio for all of our clothes and a sensitive almond milk and honey fabric conditioner, it smells gorg!

We switched to non-bio when my daughter was born and have carried on using it ever since, for her clothes and our own, for us it seems to work just as well as bio, even at lower temperatures.

We use non-bio anyways, always have, so we will be using that!
