Switching from a Diaper. . .

[hotharmony]

From a Diaper Service to washing my own and probably switching to pocket diapers. Does anyone have advice on detergent or wash methods I have a normal top load machine.

I like charlies soap the best rinses easiest imo. We do a cold wash no soap a hot wash w/saop & soak for 30 min or so then hot wash no soap till there are no suds. We have no stink or staining. Ive used pockets & pf synthetics are harder to keep stink fre

we use country save for washing. we have an he front loader. i do a heavy wash (no option for adjusting temp @@), with a pre wash and extra rinse. when i use my grandparents top loader, i do a rinse on cold and wash on hot, and sometimes an extra wash if the diapers were extra stinky. their washer is a bit old and not as good at getting things clean. you'll probably find your own wash routine that works for you, it seems like everyone has a different one and a different type of detergent that they like.

I use mostly pocket diapers on my two kids. I use Charlie's soap and do a cold rinse cycle with no detergent followed by a hot wash cycle (which automatically follows with a cold rinse) with detergent.

Hi there! A fellow Michigander!

The detergent question is a tuffy because every family seems to find something different that they like! Here's a list that will give you a starting point.

I use Country Save and like it pretty well. I do a cold rinse, with 1/3 scoop coutnry save, and 2 hot wash cycles...

Good luck!

Where do you find this Country Save detergent?

We use Crunchy Clean diaper detergent and it's awesome! We have a top loading extra large heavy duty washing machine.

I also line dry pockets, I think it is just better for longevity.

The customer srvice is wondeful and there are like 50 scents.

Take care!!
