Why you'll love it: If you are looking for a reasonably-priced, effective laundry detergent that is safe for your baby's delicate skin and can be used for the rest of the family's laundry,
All's free clear liquid detergent is your best bet.
As I was testing and selecting a laundry detergent for our precious new one, I took into consideration the product's ingredients, cleaning ability, cost per load, and ease of use. As a new parent, the last thing you need is a product that makes the laundry routine any more complicated.
The final verdict after testing more than 10 products was that All free clear liquid will give a baby the protection he needs from irritation, remove all but the worst stains, not break the budget, and can be used to wash clothes for the entire family. It is also the most highly recommended detergent brand for sensitive skin by dermatologists, allergists, and pediatricians.
It seems others agree with me as well. On Walgreens, all free clear has a rating of 4.8 out of five stars. One reader states, "I'm so sensitive, allergic to everything! This is the only detergent that I can use that doesn't cause a reaction. Even other "Free" products cause me to react."
All free clear comes in liquid, powder, and single dose packs. I would recommend the liquid formula, costing about 20 cents per load, because it can also be used to pretreat stains. Just work in a tiny amount of the liquid into the stained area with your fingers or a soft-bristled brush and wait about 15 minutes before washing.
Pros: Performs well for both baby and family laundry, mid-priced, readily available in mass-market stores and online, free of dyes and perfumes
Cons: Does not remove heavy stains like oil and mud without the addition of an enzyme-based stain remover
