A person may use regular detergent to wash baby clothes as long as the detergent does not contain ingredients that may irritate the baby’s skin and cause a rash.
Fragrance in standard laundry detergent may irritate the skin. Detergents may also contain parabens, preservatives, and enzymes that may inflame the skin. Therefore, a person may want to use fragrance-free detergents.
A person should discontinue using any detergent that may have irritated their baby’s skin and caused a rash to develop.
