Back in the year 2018 when I had become a new parent, I was prepared for most of the things basis suggestions from my friends and family. From getting the perfect diapers, baby wipes, feeding bottles, toys, mattresses to buying clothes from various brands. However, I was not prepared for one thing and that is a good baby laundry detergent for washing my child’s laundry. With the introduction of this little human in our house, I wasn’t aware a load of laundry would go up by leaps and bounds. And when discussed with my friends I came to know about the dedicated baby laundry detergents as well. And that’s how I started my research on finding a perfect detergent for washing my son’s laundry.
Why Do we need a dedicated Baby Laundry Detergent?
Babies have very delicate skin and require absolute protection against allergies, rashes, and diseases. The presence of harsh chemicals, fragrances in the adult laundry detergents can cause discomfort to the babies soft skin. Babie’s skin is constantly getting rubbed against the laundered fabrics. Thus, it becomes imperative that we use natural, chemical & fragrance-free products for babies. And choosing a laundry detergent that has minimal harmful chemicals can reduce the chance of chemical exposure or skin infections.
Food stains, spit-ups, dried milk spots, to purees falling on the clothes, these stains can get tough and would still need something gentle to cleanse the clothes. I had to struggle a lot in the initial months for choosing the perfect laundry detergent. I am sharing my learnings and experiences with various brands. To help parents make a wise decision I have rounded up a list of the top 6 Baby Laundry Detergent to buy in India

- Ingredients- This has to be the priority on your list when looking for the brand. Plant-based formulas and ingredient are better as they are natural. Go for products without harmful chemicals, artificial colours and scent.
- Hand/machine wash- The detergent should meet the demand of both machine and hand wash.
- Anti-bacterial properties– Products with anti-bacterial properties help in keeping clothes sanitized and germ-free.
- Cloth softener– Cloth softener helps to reduce static and adds softness to the clothes.
With my experience across products and brand, I have made this list of the top 6 baby laundry detergent to buy for your children’s clothing in India. Natural and plant-based ingredients used by Mother Sparsh makes it my most favourite of all.
Laundry can get tedious. Thus, go for the product which is safe for your child’s skin and also helps in maintaining cleanliness overall.
Though the mum in me so wishes to have a detergent that could fold clothes and stack them away in wardrobe too 😊 Well, who wouldn’t want this. 😊
