Laundry Tips for Sensitive Skin

Sensitive skin and skin allergies. The need to be extra mindful of your laundry habits and the laundry products you’re using makes the chore, even more of a chore! An allergic reaction to your laundry products could cause itching, scratching, and red rashes that might lead to severe complications.

The good news is that keeping your clothes bright and clean while protecting your skin doesn’t need to be complicated.

If you have sensitive skin, here's some laundry tips for you:

1. Use the right amount of detergent

Residue is a major issue for people with sensitive skin. Using an appropriate amount of laundry detergent can help avoid complications from severe allergies. Be sure to always check the recommended dosage of the product you’re using, we recommend 20g per load with a front loader but you can use as little as 10g depending on the type of load. It will also help if you test different amounts until you find out the right dosage that doesn’t irritate your family’s skin.

It is also helpful to use laundry products that are 100% soluble. 100% soluble means that the product completely dissolves, leaving no residue on your laundry. Find our 100% soluble laundry products here.

2. Choose hypoallergenic products

Laundry products can easily irritate sensitive skin and cause allergic reaction, especially supermarket products. If you have a history of eczema, it’s best to look for laundry products with low allergens. Eczema can get so severe that it causes itchy, stinging blisters to appear on the skin.

Recommended product:

Euca Eucalyptus Premium Laundry Powder Concentrate is low in sodium and phosphate and contains no nasties to upset sensitive skin and allergy sufferers. Our customers swore by this product to be safe even to those with eczema. Check our wonderful reviews from real customers who had their first-hand experience with our laundry powder.

3. Consider fragrance-free detergents

While you might want the smell of your laundry products lingering on your clothes, this isn’t always recommended especially if you have sensitive skin. Fragrance-free laundry products are safer and more suitable to allergy sufferers.

Recommended products:

Euca Laundry Liquid Detergent with no added scent or you can also try Euca Soft Wash Laundry Detergent. It is made with Pure Australian Eucalyptus Oil, is low allergenic, and has no added perfume so only the natural fabric smell will be present once washed.

Our skin is our first line of defence against outside nasties. It’s just right that we take extra precautions in taking care of our skin. When doing your laundry, make sure to apply the above tips to achieve better clean and healthy skin.
