If you have sensitive skin, you know how tricky laundry can be. Redness, itchiness, or irritation often start not with what you wear, but with what you wash your clothes in. At House of Mabango, we create laundrycare that’s gentle on skin and kind to the planet, so let’s talk about how to make your laundry routine skin-friendly.
Why Laundry Can Trigger Skin Irritation
Many traditional detergents contain harsh chemicals, synthetic fragrances that are not hypoallergenic, and microplastics that stay behind on your clothes long after the wash. For sensitive skin, that residue can cause irritation, especially on children and babies.
5 Laundry Tips for Sensitive Skin
Choose plant-based detergents
Natural, biodegradable formulas are free from parabens, dyes, and unnecessary fillers.
Skip the fabric softeners
These often contain strong chemicals that linger on clothes and irritate skin.
Wash at lower temperatures
Hot water can strip fabrics and worsen skin sensitivity.
Double rinse when needed
Especially for baby clothes or bedding, an extra rinse helps remove all residues.
Use fragrance wisely
Not all scents are equal; look for gentle, naturally derived fragrance blends, or options that are hypoallergenic.
