About this guide
For baby laundry, fragrance-free and dye-free labels are a straightforward way to avoid adding perfume and colorants, but they are not a guarantee that every child will tolerate every laundry product. Read the ingredient and care labels, use the smallest amount that the product directs, and stop using a product if clothing seems to coincide with irritation or a reaction. Dryer sheets are optional: wool dryer balls or no dryer additive are reasonable alternatives for families minimizing residues and fragrance.

Buying tips
- Choose fragrance-free and dye-free variants when you want to avoid perfume and dyes, and read the current pack label.
- Do not use dryer sheets as a response to a rash or other symptoms; pause the new product and seek appropriate professional advice if needed.
- Keep sheets and packaging out of reach of children, and use a no-additive or reusable-ball approach if that better suits the household.
