Springtime means new beginnings – and whether that's in the form of spring cleaning, a wedding, or baby showers, we've got you covered. This month, we'll be sharing our favourite uses for Eucalan when it comes to caring for little ones – and giving away fantastic Eucalan prizes so you can see for yourself just how versatile our no-rinse wash can be!
Eucalan is a wonderfully mild soap, gentle enough to be used to care for all your babies favourite things – we recommend Lavender for its relaxing aroma as well as its natural antiseptic properties. Read on for time-saving tips as well as your chance to WIN one of two prizes so you can see for yourself!
- Caring for Wool Soakers – Parents who choose earth-friendly cloth diapers will love Eucalan to use between lanolizing wool diaper covers. Not only does Eucalan wash and sanitize soiled covers, it helps prolong the lanolizing, keeping wool covers soft for baby! Click here for full instructions.
- Washing Stuffed Animals – Eucalan brightens and cleans favourite stuffed animals. A little elbow grease has to be used for particularly soiled stuffies, but its worth the effort when your little one cuddles up with their best friend again. Click here for detailed instructions.
- Cleaning Blankies and other items – Keep blankies and other items that are in close contact with baby clean and sanitary with our naturally antiseptic Lavender wash. Click here for instructions.
- Washing Nursing Bras – Nursing bras should be washed between every use to keep them clean and help them maintain their shape. Washing does not deteriorate bras; body oils, lotions and potions, milk from unexpected "let down" and simply wearing your bra contributes to fibre wear and tear. Washing keeps fibres clean and helps elastic maintain its original tension – click here for step-by-step instructions.

Diaper Bag Essentials – Our stain-treating towelettes are an essential item for every diaper bag. It never fails, when you're dressed up and away from home, your baby will either spit up on your clothes or his/her own outfit. A Eucalan wipe kept handy in your diaper bag will save the situation! Click here for detailed instructions.
You don't have to take our word for it, though – we're offering two great prizes to our blog readers this month:
- 1 Eucalan Gift Pack (pictured below), containing four 3 oz. bottles of Eucalan in each of our three scents plus one unscented – great for travel or stashing at grandparents' house!

Fits perfectly into your diaper bag for busy parents on the move!

Eucalan Delicate Wash 
I am desperately trying to find a good quality wool wash without lanolin. I would love to try Eucalan for that very purpose!
One of the things I love about Eucalan on my son’s clothes is that it protects them from stains, so having previously washed them in Eucalan, there is no trouble taking out gravy or mud from his clothes simply by soaking again in Eucalan.
Wow! I never realized Eucalan had so many uses! I would love to win so I can try some of them out!
I hadn’t thought about washing my soakers with eucalan! In fact, I recently received a new soaker and was confused that it came with a eucalan sample. What a brilliant idea and it will keep them from accidental felting in the washing machine!
I’m in the great search for something that doesn’t bother my poor son. He’s so much more sensitive than my girls. I need to give this a try.
I’ve been using a toothbrush on stains on my diaper covers. They wash up so much better now.
i would use it for washing my toddler’s handknit sweaters to keep them smelling sweet!
I’m using wool covers for this baby, so I’d love some Eucalan to try out. Thanks for the giveaway!
We use the lavender on our wool soakers and they smell delish! Using Eucalan saves laundry time too, as rinsing is not needed! Thanks for making such amazing products!
Thanks for your interest, Rachel – just wanted to clarify that Eucalan wipes are for spills and spit-up on clothing!
I’m due any day with my first and planning on cloth diapering. I’d so love to win this package 🙂
I love Eucalan! I use it for my handknits, but would have never realized to use it on baby items too. Washing the wool soakers and those precious hand-knit baby clothes in Eucalan would make perfect sense.
I’ve washed all of my baby’s woollies and woolens with Eucalan with great results every time. I don’t want to ever be without Eucalan!
I love the way you explain the things. I think best idea of doing laundry to separate the clothes according to the fabric.
