What is the best laundry detergent for sensitive skin eczema in South Africa?
For sensitive skin, the priority is a detergent that rinses clean and leaves nothing in the weave, paired with regular washing of bedding. SoPure® Mite-free Anti-bacterial Laundry Additive is not a detergent. It goes into the wash alongside one, and it neutralises dust mite allergen proteins in the fabric. For the detergent itself, the SoPure® 3x Concentrate Laundry Detergent is the better starting point.
Does washing clothes get rid of dust mites?
Partly. A wash has to reach 60°C to deal with the mites themselves, and most bedding, blankets and soft toys cannot take that heat. A cooler wash leaves live mites behind, though it does remove most of the allergen, which is the part that triggers the reaction. SoPure® Mite-free Anti-bacterial Laundry Additive neutralises dust mite allergen proteins in the fabric.
How often should you wash bedding for dust mite allergy?
Weekly for sheets and pillowcases, since those carry the most skin cells and moisture. Blankets, duvet covers and curtains can go monthly. Wash soft toys on the same cycle as the bedding. Dry everything fully, because damp fabric holds the humidity mites need. SoPure® Mite-free Anti-bacterial Laundry Additive goes into that weekly wash without changing it.
What is the difference between a dust mite laundry additive and a normal detergent?
A detergent is built to lift soil off fabric. It does that well, and on a cool cycle it leaves the allergen problem only partly solved. An additive is a second product with a single job, and it goes into the same wash rather than replacing anything. SoPure® Mite-free Anti-bacterial Laundry Additive neutralises dust mite allergen proteins, so the wash you already run does more.
