Dreft is a laundry detergent in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and other markets.

First produced by Procter & Gamble in 1933, it was the first synthetic detergent.

The Fairy brand of washing-up liquid and Cascade brand of dishwasher detergent are also sold under the name "Dreft" in some countries, including the Netherlands and Belgium.

In Canada, the laundry detergent is sold under the brand name Ivory Snow.

Dreft laundry detergent is a detergent formulated to prevent irritation of babies skin when their clothes are washed with it.

Other laundry detergents can leave residue on baby clothes which can sometimes cause irritation of babies sensitive skin so it's best to use Dreft laundry detergent for babies clothes or other laundry detergent formulated for washing babies clothes.
