  Laundry  Recommendations
  
  My babies are all grown up but I did my best to simulate some of the usual baby stains. I stained a soft white t-shirt with milk, sweet potatoes, peas and mashed bananas. I allowed the stains to dry completely overnight before washing because I know that you just don't always get to laundry every day. After washing with all baby in warm water with a cold rinse, the stains came out with the exception of the sweet potatoes. There was still a trace of orange tint on the fabric.
  
  So, I treated the stained area again with a bit of the detergent and worked it in well to the fibers. I allowed it to work for fifteen minutes and then washed again. This time, there was no trace of the stain. I would suggest that all stains be pretreated with a bit of the liquid detergent before washing. Give the product time to work before starting the load of laundry.
  
  I also gave a bottle of all baby to a friend who has a nine-month-old. She gave it a try and reported at most stains came out and the clothes had a light, pleasing scent. Her son did not experience any skin irritation after using the freshly washed clothes and linens.
  
  As with most detergent measuring caps, I had a difficult time reading the measurement lines. However, the fact that the cap is translucent does help and prevents over-dosing. The bottle has a clear measuring line near the bottom of the bottle to help you determine how much is left and when it is time to buy more.
