It's a reliable, effective disinfectant that's been trusted for generations and works for everything from umbilical cord care to cleaning surfaces. Perfect for every parent's changing table or medicine cabinet as an affordable staple, though there's nothing exciting here—it just works.
⚠️Always dilute it properly before use on baby's skin—full strength is too harsh and can cause irritation or stinging.
