Mothers and grandmothers have been using Dreft to keep their little ones' clothing clean and soft since 1933. The laundry detergent is part of the Procter & Gamble family of brands and, as one of the earliest synthetic detergents, it does not leave a lime scum deposit nor does it contain harsh chemicals such as bleach. A top choice of pediatricians, the detergent is specially formulated to be gentle on babies' clothing and skin yet tough on stains; it contains no phosphates and includes biodegradable surfactants and enzymes. Dreft is suitable for fine washables including silk or wool along with flame-resistant fabrics plus it is less susceptible to hard water. The range of products offered includes high efficiency laundry detergent, liquid detergent, laundry stain remover, fabric refresher and odor eliminator, laundry pretreated pens and multi-surface cleaners. Washing baby clothes in Dreft is as gentle as washing in water.
