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;

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1020902/Biological-washing-powders-NOT-cause-skin-allergies-says-expert.html


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!

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
