Dreft: A Super Clean Review and Giveaway

by

Ever since I was little girl I have always had problems with allergies to detergents, soaps, lotions and many other things. The one thing I remember is when my mom used detergents that were “free and clear” was the fact that it had no scent. I don’t know about you but I like my clothes to have that freshly washed smell when I take them out of the dryer. When I became a mother again I knew I would turn to Dreft for all of my daughter’s baby clothes.

“Dreft, baby laundry detergent brand most recommended by pediatricians and the brand that parents have trusted for over 75 years to leave their little one’s clothes and linens soft and comfortable. As gentle as water on baby’s skin and specially formulated for the unique needs of baby items, parents have relied on Dreft to not only help prepare their baby’s essentials before baby’s arrival, but also to keep those items clean and safe for their little one once they’re brought home from the hospital. Complete with a scent that mom’s love (that’s also gentle for baby!), Dreft has been turning “preparing into caring” and has been a “must-have” for any new parent for generations!”

Dreft detergent comes in 2x Ultra Liquid, HE liquid, and Ultra Powder detergent, so no matter what your needs are Dreft has something for you. I have decided to give Dreft the ultimate test. About a week ago I spilled the infamous pink stuff (amoxicillin) when trying to give it to my daughter. I thought I would let it sit and find out if Dreft would take care of this spill. I logged onto Dreft.com and followed the directions and to my amazement the spot was gone after one simple washing.

Dreft.com is a great resource no matter if you are a first time mom or you’re a mom for the tenth time.  There are tips on how to prepare clothes and gear for your little one before their arrival and how to remove different types of stains. Dreft is a must have when you have a little one in the house.

  3. I learned:

    Remember to wash* all of your baby’s fabrics (clothes and anything else that could touch a baby’s skin) before putting them away for storage.
    When getting clothes out of storage (hand-me-downs, heirlooms, etc.) pre-wash with Dreft® to refresh clothes in time for baby’s arrival.
    If phantom stains appear after retrieving from storage, follow our tips for pretreating.
