Dapple Review


"When we first became moms, we found a market full of “baby-friendly” products – from gentle laundry detergent for babies’ clothes, to mild shampoo for babies’ hair. But there was nothing specific for the very items that our babies put into their mouths each day – their baby bottles, cups, and dishes. The dish soap products we used left a synthetic fragrance behind, and we were always concerned about lingering suds. We also soon noticed a persistent odor and film on our bottles that conventional dish liquids never fully removed.

It became our mission to find a better way – and create a line of products that were natural and safe for our babies, but also specifically targeted to clean the unique messes they leave behind. With the help and hard work of several experienced pediatricians and a team of seasoned green chemists, Dapple was born."

  • Natural-based ingredients
  • Phtalate-free, paraben-free, SLES- & dye-free
  • Fragranced with pure lavender essential oil
  • Biodegradable
  • Not tested on animals
  • Certified to contain no detectable levels of dioxane

I was able to try out the Baby Bottle & Dish Liquid from Dapple. I feel so much better using this on my daughters toys and eating utensils, and I feel like she is safer than when I used the regular dish liquid.

The Dapple Dish Liquid is very effective too! It is great at getting stuck on baby food off of bowls and spoons. I use this on my breast pump too, since there are no harsh chemicals to leak into the breast milk.

Like most children, my daughter loves to drop and throw her toys. So her toys have been on wash, rinse, and repeat cycle. Unfortunately, I can't get to a sink to clean them every time she drops them. Dapple has the answer! Toy Cleaning Wipes! No more tossing the toy into my bag and trying to soothe a baby that just wants her play rings. Just wipe and play! There is also a travel size for the Toy Cleaner Wipes, great to leave in your diaper bag or car! Dapple even makes a Spray Toy Cleaner. You don't even need water! Just spray them, wipe them off, and resume playing!

In addition to the Baby Bottle and Dish Liquid, Toy Cleaner Wipes, and Spray Toy Cleaner- Dapple also makes a Dishwasher Detergent! It's based on natural ingredients, too. So no worries about any bad chemicals on the things you and baby eat off of!

Have an eco-friendly cause close to your heart? Did you know Dapple donates both proceeds and products to a wide range of family-and eco-friendly causes?

In my opinion, the Dapple products are a little expensive though. And it looks like you can only buy them in cases online, which isn't always cost effective for a budgeting family. But, for a more natural product and peace of mind, the products are well worth it!

I just wanted to update that while the Dapple site only sells cases, their products are widely available for individual purchase on www.diapers.com, www.babiesrus.com, www.buybuybaby.com, www.giggle.com, and other sites!

Thank you to Dapple for that information!
