When it comes to finding the best detergent for baby clothes, you want something that leaves their outfits super clean but is also gentle on their delicate skin. Our Netmums community might just have the answer …

‘Lovely smell’, ‘great for stains’ and ‘kind to babies' skin’ … yep, there’s no denying that Fairy Non Bio PODS® , Fairy washing powder and liquid all get a LOT of love in our Netmums forum.

But don’t just take our word for it. We’ve rounded up verdicts from just some of the parents who’ve used Fairy Non Bio for their family's laundry.

1. It’s kind to babies’ skin

There’s a reason mums and dads in our Netmums forum think Fairy Non Bio is the best baby laundry detergent. It has gentle ingredients and mild perfumes to gently clean your baby's clothes and is perfect for washing even newborn clothes.

In fact, Fairy's Non Bio Sensitive Skin Dream Team – Fairy Non Bio PODS® and Fairy Fabric Softener – is your essential laundry helper!

The whole Fairy Non Bio range, including Fairy washing liquid , has clever technology which makes fabrics super soft and stops them rubbing on your baby’s skin. (We don’t know how it works but our Netmums parents love it!)

Here's what our Netmums say ...

‘We use Fairy Non Bio for us all.  OH has sensitive skin and I find that Fairy does not flare their skin conditions up.’

‘I use Fairy Non Bio powder and softener.  Smells lovely and had NO reactions even from my nephew who is a nightmare with washing powders.’

‘I was told by DS1's doctor that non bio is kinder and more gentle to the skin.’

‘The best washing up powder in my opinion is Fairy.’

‘When my first was born, I used some random powder, can't even remember what. He came out in a rash (quite a bad one) and the midwife advised us to change to Fairy... and wash all his clothes again! Which was fun, but yeah, that's supposedly the best for babies. I've never switched from Fairy since.’

2. It tackles dirt and stains

Babies and children are mess magnets. They may start the day in a clean outfit but it won’t take them long to cover it in food / milk / something suspiciously brown …

Fear not! Our Netmums community rate Fairy Non Bio for it’s stain-shifting powers. Simply pop a Fairy Non Bio POD in your washing machine before loading the clothes, or use Fairy Non Bio washing powder or liquid for clothes that are brilliantly clean.

Here's what our Netmums say ...

‘I used [Fairy] pretty much every day when my children were younger, great for stains like baby food and paints and whatever else they manage to get on there, lol. It smells good too.’

‘I use Fairy Non Bio powder. I got a free sample in a Bounty pack and washed his newborn clothes with it. It smells lovely and I use it now just because the smell makes me feel nostalgic over the newborn days! Plus his clothes come out lovely and soft without me having to use conditioner and it always removes stains no matter what colour food he throws around!!!’

‘Fairy smells lovely and keeps the smell for ages. It is really good for stains too.’

3. It’s not just for washing baby clothes

From their teeny tiny socks to their first sleeping bag, your baby is going to grow out of a lot of things. But one thing that you don’t need to change is your washing detergent. Fairy Non Bio gets clothes clean and is kind on skin, no matter what your age.

Here's what our Netmums say ...

‘I used Fairy wash powder/liquitabs and the Fairy fabric softener. I still use it now and my son’s 5.’

‘I always use Fairy Non Bio and the Fairy fabric conditioner.  My husband has sensitive skin, so that's the main reason, but it's kind to babies skin too.’

‘Fairy Non Bio is the best. It's what we've always used with my little boy.’

‘I started using Fairy Non Bio when I had a little one, soon swapped us all on to it because I didn't want to have to do separate washes.’

4. It smells amazing

Oooh, you can’t beat the smell of freshly washed clothes. And our Netmums parents LOVE the smell of Fairy Non Bio on their babies clothes.
