Question about tea tree oil

[Katie T]

So I have heard a lot of people put tto in the wash with there dipes what Im wondering is it is a oil so doesn't it cause buildup repelancy issues? I have some I use for cleaning and thought about using it every now and then when I launder my diapers I use BG onesize pockets and Green Acres Designs mostly Thanks

Its not an emoillent oil so its not greasy. Its an essential oil...thus is very volitle and evaporates quickly off of your diapers.

I love TTO and use it for many things.

I would do some research in more depth prior to introducing it to diapers.

If I recall correctly something I read recently.

In the US there are not warnings on TTO. In Europe I believe there are.

Do your homework and make sure it is something you can in the diapering area by washing with it.

Good luck.

I love TTO for adding to homemade cleaning fluid, but I wouldn't use it on anything coming in direct contact with my child's skin. The only time she ever got a rash caused by anything other than not changing frequently enough was from a wipes solution that contained TTO.

I think the thing with Tea Tree Oil is really making sure you use just a few drops--depending on what your using it for. It's strong stuff. We use it in our wipes solution and it has made all the difference with diaper rash. For the 1-2 cups of diaper rash solution I only use 2 drops.

For laundry I use 3-5 in a full load of dipes.
