Laundry Detergents????

post #1 of 12
Thread Starter 
I am just now getting my stash together for my baby boy to arrive in late July or early August (I typically go early). I was wondering what most use for laundry detergent. I know that it has to be additive-free, but I was wondering which worked best for you.
I CD'd very part time with my last little one and used Charlie's but I have read that some people have problems with Charlies after using a while.
Any suggestions would be great!!!
Thanks

I use Nellie's laundry soda. Works great!

I started off using Allens Naturally liquid laundry detergent. But, I switched to Country Save powder laundry detergent. The only reason I changed detergents was because I found a super good deal on Amazon for the Country Save. I would recommend using either detergents!

I use Trader Joes powder detergent. I don't know if you have a store near you, but it saves me from having to buy it online. I usually forget if I have to order something online and we'd run out. But I love it. The diapers are super clean, don't repel and don't cause a rash!

I COMPLETELY agree! It rocks and is super cheap!

Here's an awesome page that reviews lots of types of detergents specifically for their use with cloth diapers:

We use soap nuts and have worked great, we've solely used them for almost a year and will continue too, but am also checking out Allens because they have great reviews!

I like Charlies and Country Save. I add a little Bac-Out once in awhile. The frequent redness on DD stopped when I quit using Bac-out. But it kills germs so I like to use it once in awhile.

Thanks for the suggestions...I am still a bit confused though!!
I would love to try Allens, but it is not the easiest to find and the store that sells Country Save isn't very close. I might have to go for a drive one day.
Again, thanks for your ideas and I will keep plugging away at my search.

Just order them online - quick and easy and no driving around.

I prefer Allens powder and Mountain Green Baby Free and Clear.

I've tried both Charlie's and Allen's and was not impressed. Right now I'm using some WAHM detergent I found on Etsy. It's OK. I was thinking of trying the Kirkland eco friendly detergent. Anyone try it? I'd prefer to use one detergent for everying, rather than having a separate detergent for the diapers.
