Natural Bedwetting Stain Solutions

The object in doing your laundry is to get your clothes, bedding and nappies soft, clean and smelling fresh. The supermarket aisles are filled with hundreds of products that claim to do the best job in helping you accomplish that. Not only are they supposed to clean your clothes they also claim to make your laundry smell like spring flowers, pine forests, fresh picked berries, or even a refreshing rain. Sounds natural but in fact these are synthetic more often than not.

It is ironic then that many conventional laundry detergents unintentionally and some times carelessly or intentionally, leave residues on your washing or laundry. These residues are the by products of numerous chemicals that product detergents contain and these chemical residues are anything but healthy for your family, especially if you have family members who are sensitive to them. As chemical residues can be absorbed through skin they are not a healthy choice for your family.

You wear your clothing  every day and night, and after all day wear for some time your cumulative exposure to these chemicals may cause some concern…   and rightly so.You want to be looking for natural bedwetting stain solutions as many young children often have a sensitivity.

When you use bedwetting stain solutions you don’t have a lot of choice if you want the stains to be removed and your laundry spotless. Or do you?

What can you do?   Any basic  laundry detergent with more natural ingredients and less harmful effects is a good choice for normal washing. In recent years there has been a large upsurge of natural detergents available on the market and finding one that works as a natural bedwetting stain solution should not be hard.

In actual fact there are many natural bedwetting stain solutions you can use. The most common ones are baking soda, white vinegar and lemon juice.

Here are eight tips to help you find the best natural solution for your overall laundry and for natural bedwetting stain solutions.

• Avoid detergents with optical brighteners. Optical brighteners intentionally leave a residue on the surface of your laundry. These brighteners stick to your clothing to reflect light and give the appearance of cleaner, brighter clothes. If you look at your detergent under a black light and it glows….it has optical brighteners. These chemical residues may cause skin irritations and allergic reactions.

• Avoid detergents with fabric softeners. These softeners leave a water-repelling residue on your laundry. This can be problematic for items such as towels or cloth diapers, making them less absorbent and useful in the very purpose that they serve.
• Although drying washing on the line is the better, cheaper option; for softening - a dryer, with its tumbling action, will be more effective. For softening your laundry try using a natural fabric softener and some dryer balls rather than cloths.

• Skip the synthetic fragrances and opt for a detergent that utilizes natural fragrances such as essential oils. You can do this yourself by adding 2-3 drops of lavender or tea tree oil (or your preferred essential oil) to the rinse.

• Considering using a soap based cleaner instead of a detergent. Detergents are made with petrochemical ingredients whereas soaps are made with natural oils and minerals.

• Some of the chemicals in dryer sheets designed to keep your clothes wrinkle and static free have been linked to cancer. Use a vinegar rinse while clothes are in the wash instead and try useing a small sachet of dried lavender in the dryer

• Instead of using harsh bleach on your clothes, soak clothes that need brightened in a solution of one part hydrogen peroxide to 8 parts cold water and then wash. If bleach is something you don’t want to use, you might also try a half cup of lemon juice (or white vinegar) and baking soda.

• Conventional stain removers can be very harsh, use a baking soda paste to scrub and pre-treat stains. Dampen the stained area, apply the paste and leave to dry, then brush away the residue - and the stain.
