Washing CDs with Shaklee

[MEcatlady17]

I am currently pregnant with my first, planning to CD. I use Shaklee Get Clean Fragrance Free powder detergent (and nature bright on my lights or when I want a bleach alternative) on my normal laundry. Does anyone have experience using Shaklee with their cloth diapers? Is it CD friendly? It is phosphate and chlorine free, but uses enzymes. I love the products for my regular use and it would be very convenient to be able to use the same product for my diapers. If you don't think this will work or have had a negative experience, what would you recommend instead? I have a Kenmore Elite HE front loader.

FWIW, I am borrowing part of my newborn/infant stash (mostly old style GMD green edged prefolds and prowrap covers) from a friend and she used All Free and Clear on them- they are in great condition but I would prefer to use a more environmentally friendly product and only use products that are not tested on animals. For the rest of my diapers I plan to sample some OS pocket diapers and maybe some fitteds and another kind of cover.

Thanks for your advice! I am sure I will have some 'is my stash complete' questions as my due date approaches!

No one has any experience using shaklee detergent with diapers? Bumping this up so it doesn't get lost...

I have never used shaklee detergent, but according to the diaper jungle list, Shaklee detergent has enzymes, brighteners, and fragrances making it not as suitable for cloth diapers.

The Bummis list also puts it down as unsuitable.

And comparing it to a third source, again, it seems that the enzymes and brighteners are making it not a good choice.

thanks for the links! That is very helpful...looks like it will be two separate detergents for me.
