Detergents for children's dishes

detergents for washing dishesTo care for children's dishes should be different than for an adult. After all, the children's body is extremely sensitive to various harmful chemistry. Of course, a child can also receive a dose of such chemistry from other sources, but we, as parents, must do everything in our power to protect our child from all kinds of negative influences for as long as possible.

First of all, you need to use a special tool for washing children's dishes in order to regularly care for plates, mugs, nipples, bottles, breast pumps and other utensils that children come in contact with. It is about such tools that will be discussed in this article.

A variety of care products for children

In any more or less large hardware store, sellers will offer you a whole range of detergents that are nominally suitable for caring for children's dishes. Indeed, recently it has become fashionable to use "environmentally friendly" chemistry, which does not harm the human body. But the question is, is it really possible to entrust your child's dishes with such means? To roughly understand this issue, you need to look at the composition of the proposed tool, it should not be:

  • parabens;
  • phthalates;
  • phenols;
  • sulfates;
  • formaldehydes;
  • phosphates;
  • petroleum products.

Also, before buying, smell the proposed dishwashing detergent - it should not smell sharply fruity or floral aromas and even less pronounced smell of acetone, alcohol, phenols and the like. The selected product should be relatively easy to rinse with both hot and cold water. The composition of the product must contain a safe disinfectant component that will help to cope with microbes.

Note! Do not read the large labels that the manufacturer has on the front of the label, this information may not correspond to reality.

The whole variety of detergents intended for the care of children's dishes can be divided into three large groups:

  1. means for washing children's dishes manually;
  2. means for washing children's dishes in automatic mode in the dishwasher;
  3. home care products for children's dishes.

Each of these groups includes a large number of different washing gels, powders, suspensions and tablets. We will analyze each of these groups and see what happens.

Hand Wash Product Overview

In the vast majority of cases, young mothers choose a detergent to care for the baby’s dishes manually. Only a few wash children's dishes in the dishwasher, although it is the automatic method that has recently gained more and more popularity. Judging by the reviews, then many young mothers, even having dishwashers, prefer manual washing. There are several reasons for this.

  • As a rule, there are not many children's dishes, it makes no sense to load a dishwasher.
  • Several items are much easier and faster to wash by hand, it will take about 5-7 minutes, while in the dishwasher the fastest washing mode is 20-30 minutes.
  • It’s difficult to store children's dishes for a dishwasher, since a child can have one favorite mug, one favorite plate, and he will require that they be washed and immediately returned to him.
  • By washing the baby bottle or mug manually, you have the opportunity to properly tear them with a brush, the dishwasher will not be able to wash these accessories.

Important! Tools for manual washing are more economical. To wash several children's items will require only one drop of the product, if you wash in a dishwasher, one drop will not work.

Home Care Products For Kids

You can find a good and inexpensive tool from a reliable manufacturer and wash their children’s dishes calmly. But you always want to save a little on the one hand, and on the other to be sure of the naturalness of the detergent components. In this case, prepare a detergent with your own hands, under these conditions, you definitely will not have a shadow of doubt that your product is absolutely natural and safe for health. Here are a few recipes for such home remedies.

Important! Using homemade detergents for dishwashers all the time is quite risky, you can spoil the “iron assistant”, especially if you use mustard products.

Homemade remedy based on soda, borax and lemons. We take 1 glass of soda ash, mix it with half a glass of the finest purified table salt, add borax powder to the mixture - 1 glass. It remains to add 100 g. Lemons, mix everything and we will get high-quality and safe baby powder for the dishwasher.glycerol

Next, consider a recipe for homemade dishwashing detergent based on baking powder for baking. Take 1 cup of baking powder, 2 cups of baking soda, 1 cup of borax. We get a good and safe powder. True, it is not very well stored, so calculate the amount of the mixture to be prepared, enough for about a month, no more. Since if you store the mixture for more than a month, it loses its useful properties. A mixture based on baking powder flushes dirt of biological origin very well, so it is ideal for children's dishes and toys.

Now give a recipe based on glycerin. We take 25 g of liquid glycerin, 50 g of lemon juice, a teaspoon of alcohol and three tablespoons of hot water. We mix all the components, pour the mixture into an opaque container and use for 1 month. We do not recommend storing the mixture anymore. This product is suitable for the manual washing of children's dishes and toys; it should not be poured into the dishwasher.

In conclusion, we note that in the modern market the assortment of special detergents for caring for children's dishes, toys and other utensils is truly great, but you need to choose very carefully, since an unscrupulous manufacturer sometimes pours into his own funds whatever, positioning them as safe.Read the composition carefully, be careful or even prepare detergents yourself, in this case everything will be fine!

    Why so many troubles with the preparation of home remedies? Although, if the child is allergic, then, of course, it is worth the time. I have Aqua Baby on my sink, I can wash my dishes with them at the same time. But I don’t use the usual for children's plates, too chemical, in my opinion, is not useful. In Aqua surfactants are soft, dyes, parabens, phosphates and other aggressive chemicals are not used. The dishes are rinsed well, the gel does not remain on it. And suitable for peeling fruits and vegetables, I also drip through the dispenser on them, wash it off and wash it under running water.
