The Laundress for Mothers
Nov
Mothers are faced with making so many decisions for their children on a daily basis, and one thing all mothers have in common is they want the best for their families.
When researching the best and safest cleaning products it can be frightening to find out the list of chemicals you may have unknowingly exposed your children to.
One of the key reasons The Butler only uses cleaning products from The Laundress is because they are safe for the entire family, including babies.
All The Laundress products are free of allergens, carcinogens, chlorine bleach, dyes, formaldehyde, gluten, parabens, phosphates, phthalates, sodium lauryl sulfate, perchloroethylene, and petroleum. They are also vegan-friendly as they are not tested on animals and do not contain animal ingredients.
All products from The Laundress are safe for the entire family, however the baby range features two of the essential products for any new mum’s cleaning arsenal.
The Laundress Baby Detergent features a soft scent, and strong stain fighting enzymes to deal with all those special baby laundry challenges.
The Laundress Baby Fabric Conditioner is a soft and mild conditioner, free of all allergens, toxins, and made from plant based ingredients. Perfect for sensitive baby skin.
For cloth nappies, and spill cloths, try The Laundress All-Purpose Bleach Alternative. This is a non-toxic, biodegradable, and fragrance-free alternative to chlorine bleach which safely and effectively removes stains and odours.

The Laundress Stain Solution is the product you call in for those stubborn stains, and is unscented for use with other Laundress products.
To help you master even the toughest washing (thanks kids), here are some tips from The Laundress herself.
Wash Before Wearing
Always wash baby items before first use. Launder with hot water to best remove stains and odor and kill bacteria and germs. Add Fabric Conditioner Baby (https://www.butlertradingcompany.com.au/shop/washing/for-your-laundry-washing/laundress-baby-fabric-conditioner/ ) to fluff, soften, and reduce static.
Secret Stains
Playing “hide-and-seek” with stains is never fun. Formula, breast milk, and spit-up are not always visible until after you wash and dry. Pretreat your clothing and your baby’s items with Stain Solution (https://www.butlertradingcompany.com.au/shop/washing/for-your-laundry-washing/laundress-stain-solution-475ml/ ) to help hinder surprise stains! Play it safe—add 1 capful of All-Purpose Bleach Alternative (https://www.butlertradingcompany.com.au/shop/washing/laundress-bleach-alternative/ ) to every load.
Keep Small Items Together
Place small items such as socks, hand mitts, and booties in a Mesh Washing Bag (https://www.butlertradingcompany.com.au/shop/washing/for-your-laundry-washing/laundress-mesh-washing-bags-pk-2/ ) to prevent losing them through the washing or drying cycle.
Softening
Gentle on delicate skin and scented in our calming Baby scent, this conditioner (https://www.butlertradingcompany.com.au/shop/washing/for-your-laundry-washing/laundress-baby-fabric-conditioner/ ) softens items while reducing static and wrinkles. Add conditioner to the dispenser for the perfect complement to Baby Detergent (https://www.butlertradingcompany.com.au/shop/washing/for-your-laundry-washing/laundress-baby-detergent-1l/ ).
Cloth Diapers
Simply rinse out excess soil with hot water and treat stains with Stain Solution (https://www.butlertradingcompany.com.au/shop/washing/for-your-laundry-washing/laundress-stain-solution-475ml/ ). Follow by presoaking in a wash basin or sink of hot water and 1 capful of All-Purpose Bleach Alternative (https://www.butlertradingcompany.com.au/shop/washing/laundress-bleach-alternative/ ). Finish by machine washing in hot water with Baby Detergent.
Hand-Me-Downs
Hand-me-downs don’t have to look worn. For older set-in stains, add 1 capful of All-Purpose Bleach Alternative (https://www.butlertradingcompany.com.au/shop/washing/laundress-bleach-alternative/ ) to a wash basin or sink of hot water and presoak the garment. Follow by washing with Baby Detergent (https://www.butlertradingcompany.com.au/shop/washing/for-your-laundry-washing/laundress-baby-detergent-1l/ ) and hot water.
Soft Toys
Get your children’s toys looking like new, and eliminate any stains or odor by treating with Stain Solution (https://www.butlertradingcompany.com.au/shop/washing/for-your-laundry-washing/laundress-stain-solution-475ml/ ). To combat older, set-in stains, presoak the toy in a wash basin or sink containing hot water and 1 capful of All-Purpose Bleach Alternative (https://www.butlertradingcompany.com.au/shop/washing/laundress-bleach-alternative/ ).
