Dettol Antibacterial Laundry Cleanser Fresh Cotton 1.5 L, Pack of 4

Product Information

Because of delicate fabrics and in an effort to reduce energy costs, home laundering is often now done at 30-40⁰C, which is not high enough to kill germs. So I cannot find any official body that says you need to wash at 60° or even that Antibacterial Laundry cleanser is needed. Previously I would wash the underwear (after it had been soaked first in a bucket of water and an eco laundry soak) with a Canesten or Dettol antibacterial laundry rinse. I don’t pretend to understand them individually, all I know is that they are yet more ENTIRELY unnecessary chemicals being put into the poor overloaded sewage system. Boil them after soaking and washing, I think… You’ll probably only be able to fit a few nappies in at a time so you will need tongs to drop the boiled nappies into your freshly cleaned sink before adding the next batch, and don’t forget to use an oven glove to protect your hand.

When you need to wash fabrics at low temperatures; or maybe you have soiled items such as fabric nappies to clean… Detergents alone may not be enough to kill the germs in your laundry. Mums of babies and young children need to sanitise nappies and soiled underwear as the sun is not always out to help with this when hanging washing on the line. A study printed in the Lancet clearly states that fabric is safe after two days, that the virus cannot be retrieved from cloth after that time. The only product I’ve found that completely cleans my clothes first time is anti bac detergent, I think bc it kills the bacteria that gather in the underarms thanks to my condition. Because if you don’t, your towels will be covered in tiny particles of whatever it was that went int the bowl – urine, faeces, even vomit.

When you wash clothes at temperatures below 60°C with laundry detergent alone, bacteria can survive in your washing machine and on your clothes. One reason I suspect that washing clothing it’s different to hand washing is that when your wash your hands properly you are rubbing thoroughly covering all surfaces. So in this case the warmest setting on most machines would be 90 degrees as some sources have suggested that even at 60 degrees it may not kill all microbes.

Believe it or not, but nurses have to launder their own uniforms, so I use the anti-bacterial liquid to protect my patients.It may not be reproduced in any way whatsoever without Zoom by Ocado's prior consent, nor without due acknowledgement. This product is a perfect example of Steve Jobs’ theory that we, the public, don’t know what we want until we see it in all its glory. Incidentally, I do put my trainers into the washing machine – but I don’t use Antibacterial Laundry Cleanser! Directions In your Washing Machine: add 2 capfuls to the fabric softener drawer of your washing machine.

I have a selection of cotton dishcloths which are used to wipe down whatever needs wiping down in the kitchen and then flung in the washing machine.Now if we’re tired of the overuse of antibacterial products and that is the point then Im on board 🙂 But to say no one EVER needs to sanitize their laundry is a little silly. The stability of SARS-CoV-2 on cloth was also tested in the Lancet articleTrusted Source mentioned earlier.
