My child has eczema. If you've ever visited Life behind Chipmunk's Clothes, you have soon gathered that I am very much a 'all things from scratch' kind of person. My reasoning with dressing my kids in yard sale clothes is the fact they wear some sizes for literally a day. I ran into a problem when it came to my son's clothes. It didn't matter whether the people had washed their children's clothes in Dreft; my son would break out in a bad rash. I ran across this lady who discovered that eczema can be irritated when the skin comes in contact with products made out of surfactants. After reading her instructions, I washed my entire house of clothes (no easy task). My child's clothes were washed specifically to her directions and although, the skin is still dry, it no longer is a scab and a red rash. Not only has it cleared my child's skin from eczema but also my other children's skin from detergent irritation. Here is the following recipe I highly recommend for washing baby clothes in. Use an 1/8c. per full load.
Powdered Laundry Soap
1 1/3 parts Borax
1 part Washing Soda
1 part Baking Soda
1 part Oatmeal (ground fine in the blender)
1 part Castile Soap
