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!

    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.
