  I hope this is in the right topic but anyway we’re gonna be cleaning the fleece blankets tomorrow and I need to know if there’s any safe detergent that I can use for them. We have Purex dirt lift action for baby, is that ok?

  I honestly have never paid attention to what laundry detergent I’ve used… I just make sure I never dry the rabbit stuff with dryer sheets. Ordinarily, the detergent should be fully washed out by the time it’s done the wash, so whatever the detergent is, it won’t matter too much. I’d say maybe avoid the detergents that advertise having lasting scent for months — they may purposely put in linger scents/chemicals to make that happen.

  I use liquid Tide for Sensitive Skin and I hang the blankets to dry.

  I’d say any unscented detergent is probably fine.

  I use unscented detergent. I’ve heard the scented ones aren’t good for them and I don’t think they like it anyway (too smelly for their face to be so close to all the time). I also don’t use dryer sheets.
