Baby laundry detergent, is it necessary? Or is the baby industry just out to make a quick buck from us? While it might be tempting to just use the same laundry detergent for your newborn’s clothes, there is some truth to why we should use a specially formulated detergent for our baby’s clothing.
Harsh detergents can leave unwanted residue on clothes, and because a baby’s skin is delicate and more sensitive, these residues can cause irritation. It is highly recommended that we use gentle and soft laundry detergents especially for newborns.
Here are some of our top picks of the best baby detergent in Malaysia.
