Okay... Dreft is EXPENSIVE!! What other detergents can I buy and use to wash all of babies clothes in?

lisamarie8503 - 1134 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I use the same detergent that I wash our clothes in. If they do not have a reaction to it, there is no reason to use seperate detergents. It saves time and money!

I'm also sure if you look around at stores whom have huge varieties, you'll find ones which are even cheaper. Like say Wal Mart or big department stores like that:]]

But now with the economy and money being tight i have changed to a cheaper brand in a massive box so more economical money wise.its a shops own brand-think its called Cyclon, i dont mind doing that as the active cleaning agents are the same in every washing powder, but i have kept the same fabric conditioner.Im lucky that my child i doesnt have any skin allergies. Obv if your child does then that may restrict you more
