amount of country save in a load?

[radiowave]

Just bought a big box of country save detergent...but can't figure out how much to use for a load of 10 to 12 pocket diapers and inserts...any ideas??
TIA!

I've always used 1/2 of the scoop. I think one full scoop is one ounce...not sure though. I just always filled the little scooper thingy half full. I LOVE country save. I have never had an issue with it and it gets everything nice and clean.

Are you using a top loader or a front loader? I have an HE FL, so I actually used about 1/8-1/4 of a scoop for about 24 cotton/bamboo one-size dipes. The back of my box says to use 1oz (1/2 scoop) for a FL, and for dipes I had read to use 1/2 of what is normally recommended, so that is my math!

Somewhere I think I read to use 1/2 scoop for regular clothes and stuff, and 2 Tablespoons for dipes. Then I measured 2 Tablespoons into the scoop, and low and behold 2 T. *is* half a scoop. *sigh*

So, I have no idea. I've been using 1/2 scoop for everything, including dipes. But I have super hard water, so maybe I need it. (And granted I've only been prepping dipes-- no baby yet.)

I have a brand new top loader and use 2 tbsp (half a scoop) for diapers. Works great!!!

Here's some info from their actual website. Sounds like 1/2 scoop is probably right for most people.

Yep! Same here

I use no more than 1/2 scoop for a full load of dipes (20ish prefolds), wipes, doublers, and sometimes a cover. If I am washing less than the above, than I use less detergent.

I've been using 1/2 scoop for all loads. I have a top loader which is an HE machine, so the directions always confuse me! (Whirlpool Cabrio) Does it count as an HE or as a top-loader?
