Hi Pommie,


I use to wash my daughters clothes with Ariel bio powder as it has the enzymes to get rid of the stains and then use to wash them again in the Fairy powder and softener so she didn't get skin reaction at young age. I never seemed to have a problem - even with carrot! Also as Candj mentioned Vanish which also works on the really stubborn stains!

Good luck!

Don't be afraid to use bio detergents to wash babies clothing....there was research done in 2005 and again in 2008 that showed that contrary to what all the advertising leads up to believe it is no harsher on the skin than the non bios.


I can't find the link to the actual study now, but there is this article about it;

We are the only country in Europe with Non-Bio detergents and no higher incidence of skin sensitivity here than in Germany, France etc. The whole 'new baby' Fairy Non-Bio thing is yet another marketing ploy. The bleaching agents in the non-bios are just as harsh on the skin as the enzymes in the biological detergents!


Our experience at The Nappy Lady is that it isn't WHAT you use, but HOW MUCH. I use about a tablespoon of liquid Bio detergent to a load of washing and find it works fine.


We have family history of eczema and sensitive skin, and I switched from Non Bio when the first survey came out, when my eldest was 9 months, crawling and getting filthy clothes etc. It made a world of difference to getting her stuff clean, and didn't affect her or my skin at all. I recently tried Bio D and we both reacted to that though.


I also use Vanish, either in wash or spray on tougher stains.


I spend a lot of time sitting and shouting at the TV! I get so cross with the way the advertisments play on parents emotions and fears to sell us stuff. I have no idea how my girls were crawling at 8 / 9 months or walking at 11 / 12 months in their huge cloth nappies...surely that is only possible in Pampers Acti Fit or whatever they are called????? Humph! Don't let them con you, they all do this stuff when they are ready. Sorry going off on a tangent and a rant, better stop now!

    • Yes, we have a Casio CT-S100 we no longer need, except I dont think we have the headphones any more. It has a USB connection. £50? https://www.argos.co.uk/product/7333639
    • Thank you! She is both spayed and microchipped, and reported missing on Petlog and with the vets.   She normally never goes out the front, certainly for never more than 10-15 minutes, so this is definitely new territory for her. There is lots of dense foliage across the road so there are plenty of places she could be hiding if she is spooked, so we are hoping she will come back when she is calm. The weather isn't helping, she never goes out in the rain. Thank you again!
    • Hi, Have you been letting her out the front door onto the street or would this be a first & therefore unfamiliar with the area? Does she respond to a name & is she spayed & microchipped? Our team carry scanners on our daily routes & will of course be looking our for her. I hope you are reunited with her soon. If not already, notify your street & surrounding streets (find out if they have Whatsapp groups) Dox will print & deliver free missing posters https://www.doxdirect.com/help/free-missing-pet-posters/ Call her at dusk & dawn when street & foot traffic is at its lowest.

    • A slightly delayed review but another one to echo Niko's praises. I had an issue with a cistern that needed replacing and Niko was attentive and did a great job. He was very diligent, explained what he was doing and fixed issues from a previous plumber's work. I will definitely ask for his help again if I have any issues in the future.
