Cloth Diapering Tips & Baby Talks

Archive for the ‘Natural laundry’ Category

We have not been using detergent even our own household for a long long time .   It is like going back to the olden days where the mothers will be using pure river water to wash clothes, without contaminating the water system.

I cant obviously claim myself to be a doc, but being a mother of 2 eczema kids and hubby with skin problem and myself sinusitis, I have gone through this.

I did apply many types of prescribed doctor’s cream to my elder girl and later stage in her life, she is 8 now, I could noticed that she has rather poor healing in skin. I didn’t like the dacacort effect coz the moment I apply tonight, all the rashes were gone the next morning…. Effect too vast.

I mean if we try not to expose our kids to chemicals in daily life, why should we put in chemical purposedly in their skin? I regretted using them on my first girl, I should have treated the root of the eczema problem.

With my no.2 girl, I didn’t go back to any western medicine for fear of the steroid effect (which is always working on surpressing, instead of long term treatment). I opted for Homeopathy, a natural healing method.

At the same time, like all mothers, I have searched around for the best solution to solve this problem.

I have started out with our Eco Laundry Ball for all our laundry ball.

And true enough, all the skin problems that I used to see ‘disappear’.

Well, you may say that it was Homeopathy that save the day. But in all the cases I have seen around, many people may continuously see skin eruption problems they ignore their own role in taking care of their diet, household, etc.

As for myself, I have certainly liked the idea of getting fresh curtain out of the washing machine, instead of getting a piece of FRAGRANCE-LOADED fabric off the machine. Washing curstains has always been a problem for a sinusitis like me….  It will be full of ATISHOO! ATISHOO! and ATISHOO! if you really understand what I mean by swelling nose and extensive nose block. So with this eco laundry ball, washing curtains means — A BREEZE, coz they just smell AS FRESH!

Have you ever wonder ever since you started with cloth diapering you have detergent build up problem in your cloth diapers?

Have you ever tried to reduce the amount of the detergent but still you will have leaky diapers?

I understand fully how frustrated it is as I have personally gone through this MYSELF.

I have hair standing up, waking up in the middle of the night to have a night change on my baby wetting my bed. Ouch! That’s really disturbing, especially when I was just in the middle of my sweetest dream after a tiring day.

Here is I solve this problem, once and for all:

ECO LAUNDRY BALL —- YES! this is how i substitute all my laundry detergent!

Now with this laundry solution I don’t have to worry about detergent build up problem again!

And the diapers — DONT SMELL at all!

What i need to do is just to soak the laundry balls with water and the stinky inserts , but not the diapers, coz diapers has the elastic part. Soaking diapers like in the wet pail method will make its life span shorter. I usually soak them in a separate pail. But you may soak them in the washing machine if you like it this way.

After 1-2 hours, or overnight, if you like it, just toss all the diapers in and washed together with the inserts and the laundry balls.

Immediately after the wash, you can spot the difference — the diapers and inserts are as clean and fresh! Plus NO FRAGRANCE (A.K.A. Chemicals) from the detergent!
