Laundry Soap for Eczema

My sister uses Tide Free for her daughter, and the second rinse cycle as well.

Really, I think that most of the commercial Free detergents are substantially similar, but the 2nd rinse cycle really is important. It will get out much more of the residual soap.

Good luck!

We use Method unscented. Works great for us.

I have used ALL Free and clear, as well as the Purex free and clear. Both have worked well for my toddler with eczema. 7th generation is great too, although its a little pricier than the ALL or Purex

I use Country Save, which has been a life saver for me. I do not have eczema, but I have VERY sensitive skin. You can buy it online, or in stores. A box will run you $10-15, but it lasts us months.

A&H does still does have chemicals in it. That's probably why they might have indicated that.

All free and clear. it's $5 or so (on sale) for a bottle of high efficiency that is supposed to last 40 loads or something. I use way less than directions, so it lasts easily 4 months with my front loader at 8 loads a week. I really liked All baby but they don't sell it in Colorado anymore; maybe they quit making it. dreft seemed to be okay for my son and me but I didn't like the smell. once you've moved to scent free stuff, you can tell that all the scented stuff is chemical/not natural and it doesn't smell good.

tide anything (even the free and clear) is horrible for me, my dad, and my son.

I want to try one of the more natural ones but....I've been scared to try seventh generation because their dishwasher detergent was worthless - plates can be rewashed - clothes with stains set by the dryer have to be tossed.... :) and that's scared my away from any of the natural brands.

whatever you use - double rinse, no softener, no dryer sheets. vinegar in the softener dispenser will help remove more soap, acts as a softener, helps with static and I promise you will not smell it when the clothes come out of the washer. also, try using less laundry detergent. it'll take 3-4 times for the excess to come out of your clothes so wait a month or so to see if you really can drop it down. unless you have really hard water, you can probably use 1/2 of what the directions call for and still have clean clothes.

What doctors either don't know or don't want you to know>>> all skin ailments are caused by outside pollutants and inside pollutants....the pollutant that we can control is our inside pollutants. I hope i'm making a little bit of sense. A study was done in 2008 for all skin ailments and what causes them; it was conducted for over 30 years. They found that all skin ailments are caused by the lack of the good bacteria that are naturally found in your intestines to digest your food extracting the vitamins to keep us healthy. The only way your body can defend itself from these pollutants is to either stay away from everything of feed your inner intestines with the good bacteria that your body in lacking. Take probiotics....in pill form ...I recommend phillips for children it will erase any skin ailment....he won't need to take it for more than a year and guess what>>you will thank me for years to come good luck and god bless!!!!!!

I've always made my own because it's chemical free and rinses out completed. You make a batch and it lasts a really long time. You can add oils to add a smell to it but I never do. There are a ton of recipes on the web. This is a good basic one.

Charlie's Soap! I get it from amazon.com

i use 7th generation free and clear. Although i've never noticed a difference with my son's eczema based on the detergent I use. I only wish it were that simple to fix his skin

What ever soap you use, try putting the laundry through an extra rinse cycle.
If I don't double rinse, I itch - everyone else is fine though.
