A GREAT baby product: Dapple Dish Liquid!
I have written about my trouble breastfeeding Jillian last month and because of that I was using a pump and bottles way more than I ever had with the other kids. That meant lots of washing and I hate washing! Even though I ran the dishwasher once a day I still needed to wash the pump and bottles by hand since I needed them so frequently. A bottle of Dapple dish liquid came at the perfect time for me and even though I don’t like doing dishes I really like Dapple. It is a product that I didn’t have to worry about using on things that went into my newborn’s mouth and one less thing to worry about was very important to me at such a stressful time! Dapple is very safe and natural, it smells good (without being overpowering or fake smelling), its not antibacterial, it doesn’t dry out your hands when you use it and IT WORKS WELL!
This is what sold me when I was offered the product to review: “The Dapple products were created by two moms with the help of leading pediatricians and green chemists. They are designed not only to be baby-safe, but also baby-specific: using ingredients found in nature that have been proven to zero in on the unique residues that babies leave behind, from dried milk on bottles to sticky fingers on toys. That means Dapple really works – without synthetic dyes or fragrances, and no harmful SLES, parabens, or phthalates.”
Dapple doesn’t just make dish liquid, there is a whole line to check out! I really love that the line is NOT antibacterial, I think people have gone overboard with the whole antibacterial thing. I want my kids’ bottles, dishes and toys clean but I believe kids need to be exposed to things to build immunity. I also have had some problems with antibacterial soaps severely drying my hands. I think I’d like to try the dishwasher detergent and the toy cleaner spray next!
*You can currently buy Dapple dish liquid and powder at Diapers.com and here is the Dapple store locator link.

It sounds like an interesting product line, even for those of us who don’t have a baby.
Did you have Kate and Pete check the ingredient list from their chemists’ perspective?
Loretta, it seems to be okay. I always wonder a bit when one of the ingredients is derived from fruit since SLS and SLES are usually derived from fruits (coconut is the most common). But, with rinsing and some of the other ingredients missing (especially the antibacterial compounds because detergent should be sufficiently antibacterial) I would use it.
Is there a way to get your e-mail address?
Thank you! I’ve been using bar shampoo lately in order to avoid some standard shampoo ingredients like SLS, SLES, and ALS, among others. I always appreciate your chemical insights. They have permanently suppressed my appetite for one popular sweetener.
I’ll write to you from the e-mail address I use the most now. I think you have my old e-mail address, which is now deluged by spam. (I am Loretta II. Loretta I rarely uses her e-mail address or even her computer. Last time we visited her we discovered it had been taken over by a cyber-intruder. Multiple IT consults were required to get that un-done. )
I was really PSYCHED to try this when I received my sample in the mail.
Too bad it was run over or stepped-on, there was nuthin’ left in the little foil packet. Oh, well, it smelled good. I wish I could find that site again for a ‘new’ free sample. I would really like to see if there’s a difference noticably left on the bottles.
