How to wash baby dishes

Simultaneously with the appearance of a small child, children's dishes appear in the house - these are bottles, spoons, forks, plates, breast pumps and much more. And if the house has a dishwasher, we start choosing a safe product for washing children's dishes. There really are such products, not only for machine washing, but also for hand washing.. And in this review we will talk about them.

Basic requirements for detergents for washing children's dishes

Not only children, but also adults are exposed to the negative effects of household chemicals. But we can get through this somehow. In addition, accidentally getting a small amount of dishwashing detergent inside will not lead to serious consequences (although, what the hell is not joking). But for the child's body regular detergent is toxic - the child's resistance to household chemicals is extremely low.

Therefore, special requirements are imposed on detergents for washing children's dishes:

• Gels and dishwasher powders should not contain parabens, phenols, phosphates, formaldehydes and other obviously harmful components. In many countries, they are banned from use even in ordinary detergents used for washing dishes for adults;
• Chemistry must be hypoallergenic - the presence of substances that cause allergic reactions is unacceptable;
• It is desirable that the selected children's dishwashing detergent does not have a strong odor - it may smell like fruit, but the smell should be weak, and not hit hard on the nose;
• Lack of foreign odors - if the selected product smells of alcohol, petroleum products or caustic chemical compounds, it is better to refuse to buy it;
• The detergent for washing children's dishes should contain safe disinfectant components - bottles and plates should be clean not only visually, but also bacterially;
• Detergent for children's dishes should show its effectiveness in both hot and cold water;
• Children's chemicals should be quickly washed off without residue, even with the smallest amounts of water.

Many gels, powders and tablets meet these requirements, but some manufacturers still sin by adding hazardous components.
