Will this detergent work on CDs?

I bought biokleen all temperature laundry powder with chlorine-free bleach. It says it has grapefruit seed and orange peel extract cleaning power.

Will this work on my diapers, or will it cause build-up issues? There weren't a bunch of options at my HFS (mrs. meyers, ecover, 7th gen.), and it seems like I've heard bio-kleen being recommended. What do you think?

Some biokleen products get better ratings than others on this list:

I'm not sure about your specific one, I can't see that it's listed here.

Thank you! I have been trying to find a list comparing detergents, and just haven't found one!

ok, so I did a search of the diapering forum and found the pinstripes and polkadots website. On the detergent list, I noticed that some of the detergents that the diaperjungle website rates highly, the PAP site rates as ok, or not very good. Is this just the difference between machines, water quality, and personal preference?

I am thinking I may try the bio-kleen detergent. If I don't like it for diapers, I'll use it for clothing.

I use biokleen and haven't had any issues.

How much do you use in a load? I think I used too much today, because I ran it through 3 complete cycles and STILL have suds in the water. I decided to let it go and just skip the detergent next time. It smells nice, though!
