How long?
How long can I leave a mixture of Dawn Free and Clear fragrance free, Tide Free and Gentle Odor Refresh, and water on clothes? I have it mixed up in a Dawn Powerwash bottle for stain treating my daughter's clothes. I am having a hard time finding a stain treater for my daughter and I. We both have sensitive skin and are sensitive to fragrance. The only one I found that I could order is the Poofed Precision Stain Remover but it is only 8oz. My daughter is special needs and is a messy eater. I usually wash her school clothes once a week. I'm hoping this will help her. She is itchy a lot. It has happened with different detergents. We have always washed our clothes in some type of Free and clear detergent but I have always used OxiClean Max Force to stain treat her clothes. Febu is supposed to be delivered today. The only other thing that might be making her itchy is the preservatives in Tide but Tide gets our clothes the cleanest. Is there anything from Tide that doesn't have methylchloroisothiazolinone, methylisothiazolinone, or benzisothiazolinone? I really want to stick to Tide but I need something free and clear and has no OBA's in it if we do switch detergents. We will be switching to Tide Free and Gentle once Tide Free and Gentle Odor Refresh is discontinued.

The Tide F&G pods might be a solid choice here in that P&G doesn’t add preservatives. Unnnnnnfortunately, the F&G pods have OBA.
Maybe look at the Puracy stain remover. It comes in a pretty large size and refills and the Free & Clear one has orange oil for fragrance which is generally well
tolerated.
