Charlie used to be obsessed with playing with them (while wrapped in plastic... and he had no chance of opening it at that age). We would monitor him, but if I had known they were so toxic we would never have even allowed it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-laundry-detergent-somewhere-your-lo-could-reach#post-168025 Thu, 24 May 2012 16:13:33 +0000 mediagirl 168025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: we use that type of dishwasher detergent, as well. Ps....I LOVE those dishwasher tablets! They make me so happy!!! Haha. It's the little things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-laundry-detergent-somewhere-your-lo-could-reach#post-168001 Thu, 24 May 2012 16:07:41 +0000 Rubies 168001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours is on a shelf high up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-laundry-detergent-somewhere-your-lo-could-reach#post-167994 Thu, 24 May 2012 16:07:05 +0000 mrbee 167994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our dishwater detergent is similar to this, and we keep it behind a babyproofed cabinet under the kitchen sink. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-laundry-detergent-somewhere-your-lo-could-reach#post-167990 Thu, 24 May 2012 16:05:46 +0000 chopsuey 167990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our detergent is on a shelf above our washer/dryer. And is behind doors. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-laundry-detergent-somewhere-your-lo-could-reach#post-167967 Thu, 24 May 2012 15:56:22 +0000 Alivoo01 167967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our washing detergents are also on top of our washer. We have one item in the pedestal, but we also don't have a LO yet. When we do, we'll be keeping the doors to the laundry room shut. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-laundry-detergent-somewhere-your-lo-could-reach#post-167956 Thu, 24 May 2012 15:50:23 +0000 mediagirl 167956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This story was all over the news today:<br /> <a href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5jcUwq6QvmYNYBcLPuhwz45AvUpnw?docId=1d6441ebdbbe4766adf33847fee3e89e" rel="nofollow">http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5jcUwq6QvmYNYBcLPuhwz45AvUpnw?docId=1d6441ebdbbe4766adf33847fee3e89e</a></p> <p>So, my question to parents is this: is your detergent somewhere your LO can access? Our laundry room has shelves above the washer and dryer where all of our chemicals are stored. I have to reach up to get what I need. There is no way a child could reach them. </p> <p>Isn't this why there are child-proofing devices out there for cabinets and drawers? To keep little hands out? Where are these parents storing their detergent packets - on the floor?? </p>
