Dreft Laundry Detergent Reviews

Dreft Laundry Detergent

I love this product!  I bought it at the recommendation of a friend who just had a baby.  She said it was safe and gentle to use for infant laundry.

......that was 2 years ago....and I am still using this product!  Here's the best part:

I use it on my clothes too!!!  It makes everything smell so gentle and soft, just like a newborn baby (the clean version, like right after they got out of the tub).  :)

I would give Dreft 5 stars, but....it costs more than regular laundry detergent, there's NEVER any on sale, and it's so hard to get coupons.

BUT.....I do believe...

I used to think Dreft was only for washing baby clothes, but I now wash our whole family's clothing with Dreft.

If you have sensitive skin...

• After a few bouts of major rashes with regular laundry detergents, even those that claim to be hypoallergenic, "free," and the like, I have resorted to using Dreft exclusively for washing our clothes. It is the only laundry detergent that I have found that does not flare up eczema around my house.

How does it clean?

• This detergent works well for our normal laundry needs
• I usually wash in cold water unless I am washing bedding. I use hot water to kill dust mites...

This is a great product for infants who have skins allergies or extremely sensitive skin.  I used it extensively with my first child due to skin irritations. The product has a very light smell.  The product is a bit expensive but for children with sensitivity to laundry products it is an excellent selection. 

This product is great for peace of mind if you are a concerned mother and are concerned with heavy perfumed products this is a great alternative.  For mothers who have children with allergies, this is a great option for laundry products. 

I would recommend this product to any new mom...

I love Dreft. i have been using since my son was born and absolutly love the smell. I found it takes out stains perfect and made the clothing look and feel great! The only problem is I have a High Efficiency washing machine and this formula is not made in HE format. I contacted the company to see if there was one available or if they planned on introducing one soon and they told me they were not, a huge disappointment. They did recommend I use Tide Free in place of it, it is available in HE and is safe for use on all the baby's washables. I have since switched but I really miss that great baby...

Dreft laundry detergent is so wonderful for the washing of babies and children clothes.  It is also good to use for delecates.  This is what I use to wash my son's clothes, blankets, toys, ect.  All of his items keep that soft baby small and  know that using Dreft there is no residue or allergans on my son's clothes to bother his skin.  Children's skin is so tender and easily irritated but this detergent elliminates that fear as a mother.  Evey time I was my son't clothes I feel I'm doing something extra special for him thinking ahead about how fragile and special he is.  Also I find that...

Dreft laundry soap was the first soap I bought to do my babies laundry.  I just "knew" it would work better than anything else and since sensitive skin runs in the family I was really worried about hurting him.  I used it and it did work great.  His clothes smelled nice and he never got a rash or anything.  The next time I needed soap I was at a store that didn't have the big jug and I didn't want to pay about as much for a small one, so I tried the store brand.  It worked exactly the same!  The scent was the same, it cleaned and no rash for my baby!  I learned my lesson that you don't always...

Dreft detergent has been a life saver, my daughter has very sensitive skin and this detergent has done the trick. Not to mention keeps her clothing in great shape.

Pros: Great for sensitive skin, good clean smell, and keeps clothing in great condition.

Cons: Hard to find the bigger size

I used this for the first few months with my first baby because that is what your supposed to do right?  Then I thought about it one day, why am I paying so much extra for something that doesn't really do that well on stains, is NEVER on sale, and is SCENTED (which is one thing that most people with sensitive skin, babies inccluded, cause a reaction)  so I switched to ALL Free & Clear. 

It's on sale a lot more often, does WAAAAY better on stains and they make a formula for high efficiency washers which Dreft does not.
