As part of their developing process, babies love to put things in their mouths for exploration. Catering to your baby’s needs, liquid cleansers designed to wash feeding equipment, food (fruits and vegetables), accessories and toys play an important role for your child’s health. Proven safe and non-toxic, they are specially formulated to keep your baby safe from harmful chemicals, so mild that no residue stays after rinsing.
The Pigeon brand, formulated with naturally edible ingredients (with edible carbohydrate derivatives) has a pleasingly mild scent, which come in small (200 ml), medium (450 ml) and large (700 ml with pump) sized bottles as well as refill packs (700 ml). Only a small amount is needed during each wash to create a nice lather. Apart from cleaning well, it smells pleasant and doesn’t seem to leave any after taste. The only downside is that it is on the pricey end. However, deals are available at times, so look out for them.
The Cradle brand. It’s true that it is known to be “safe and mild yet highly effective”, due to its natural plant extract. It smells a tiny bit synthetic (like bubble gum) but works just as nice. Effectively removing foul odors makes it a plus! It’s very affordable, as well. Available in 700 ml pump bottles and a 500 ml refill. www.cradlenatural.com
Endorsed and used by celebrity mother and parenting expert, Christine “Tin-Tin” Bersola-Babao, the Smart Steps brand (www.mommysmartsteps.com), is an easy rinse formula without any phosphate and dyes added to it. It’s available in a 400 ml pump dispenser, a 200 ml refill pack and in 35 ml sachets. Plus, it’s light on your pocket. My tip: Use a little more than the required amount to create a foaming action.
The ever so baby-friendly, the Tiny Buds brand (my favorite) is absolutely great for your baby’s overall wellness. Formulated with 100 percent food-safe fruit extracts, free from any artificial colourings, plus being reasonably priced makes it an even better seller!

You can find these items above at most department stores (children’s section), Baby Company, Rustan’s Department Store, baby speciality stores and in some groceries and other leading supermarkets.
A helpful note: Always ensure to wash the liquid cleanser off properly by rinsing twice. Also remember that your regular dishwashing liquid is not a replacement as it may leave harmful chemicals. Keep your baby safe!
