If you thought you washed a lot of clothes before becoming a parent, hold onto your laundry basket! The average family accumulates 8 to 10 loads of laundry each week – and because newborns have extra-sensitive skin, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that you start washing baby’s clothes before he or she even arrives.

Do you need a special laundry detergent for baby clothes?

The decision is entirely up to you! It’s true that some families toss everyone’s dirty clothes in the same load, but using the same detergent for all isn’t ideal when a newborn is in the mix. Many detergents contain chemicals and fragrances that can irritate baby’s delicate skin. If you’re eczema-prone or have sensitive skin, chances are baby may react negatively to harsh ingredients.
While Nellie’s Laundry Soda is formulated with sensitive skin in mind and is (as always!) hypoallergenic, Nellie’s Baby Laundry is specially formulated to deal with baby’s unavoidable mishaps. We’ve added a concentration of Sodium Percarbonate for natural brightening, plus pure vegetable soap. Now there's no need for any additional whiteners or brighteners! Everything you need, in one scoop!
Baby Laundry’s stain fighting power is effective on cloth diapers and removes stubborn baby stains like milk, baby formula, and spit-up. The formula is plant and mineral-based, and it’s non-allergenic, gentle on baby’s skin, and leaves no residue or fragrance on fabrics. Tough on stains, gentle on baby's sensitive skin. It's ideal for baby's clothes and bedding!

A Healthy Baby Starts with Safe Products

Here at Nellie's, we're often asked what the difference is between Nellie's Laundry Soda and Baby Laundry Soda. All of Nellie’s All-Natural products don't contain any harsh ingredients and are formulated with sensitive skin and the environment in mind. However, sometimes babies are unavoidably messy! That’s why we added a concentration of sodium percarbonate for natural brightening, along with a pure vegetable soap base so you don’t have to add any additional whiteners or brighteners. Its stain-fighting power is effective on cloth diapers and even removes baby's stubborn stains like milk, baby formula, and spit-up. The formula, derived from plant-based and mineral-based ingredients, is hypoallergenic, gentle on baby’s soft skin, and leaves no residue or fragrance in the fabric.
Regular, chemical-based detergents can leave residue in your fabrics that can lead to irritation or a rash on sensitive skin. They often contain long lists of ingredients that require a degree in chemistry to pronounce, along with irritating fragrances that can dry out skin. Nellie’s All-Natural Baby Laundry Soda has just 5 simple ingredients to effectively clean your laundry without irritating baby’s skin or damaging the environment.
