Care for Baby
Updated on 12 May 2025
Ever spotted tiny red bumps or dry patches on your baby’s skin and wondered what caused them? You’ve double-checked the diapers, switched the soap, and dressed your little one in soft cotton—still, the rash won’t go away.
What if the problem isn’t on their skin, but in their clothes?
The Rash Nobody Talks About
Many baby rashes are actually caused by leftover detergent in clothes. Yes, really! Regular laundry detergents are made for adult clothes and come packed with strong chemicals, perfumes, and brighteners. These might smell nice, but they don’t always rinse out completely.
When your baby wears clothes washed in regular detergent, those leftover chemicals rub against their delicate skin all day—and night. That can lead to rashes, dryness, and itching.
How Baby Laundry Detergent Helps?
Baby laundry detergents are made especially for delicate skin. They’re usually:
Free from harsh chemicals – No bleach, artificial brighteners, or strong enzymes.
Fragrance-free or gently scented – Less chance of allergies or reactions.
Easy to rinse – No leftover residue that sticks to fabric.
Dermatologist-tested – Often approved for sensitive or newborn skin.
