Rockin' Green CD Detergent

[MamieCole]

Anyone ever use this on their dipes? Rockin' Green detergent

I came across it on FB, went to their site and after reading reviews, I ordered a few sample packs and can't wait to try it out on our dipes. I don't even have troubles w/stink, but I was really intrigued. I love that they have three different formulas for soft, regular or hard water. There is even a link to help you figure out what kind of water you likely have according to where you live:

From their FAQ:
Ingredients: sodium carbonate , sodium percarbonate, natural chelating agents, sodium sulfate, biodegradable surfactants, natural fragrance oils (if scented is chosen)

Would love to hear from any mamas who have first-hand experience w/Rockin' Green.

We're using it right now. I think I must have a broken nose because I've smelled 3 different scents (2 trial packs plus the main pack) and I can't smell any different.

The diapers definitely don't stink though. Mind you, they didn't when I used Wonder Wash or 7thGen either. DS is little now, and in mainly cotton. We'll see how it holds up when he's in MF pockets and he's a toddler...

I'm using it right now. I just ordered it a few weeks ago. So far so good. I don't have any microfiber diapers. The first thing I did though was take a stack of clean diapers and soak them as per her directions. YUCK! The water was gross. Then I did sheets... even grosser. And towels...yuck! I've pretty much soaked all of our towels, sheets, and diapers at this point. I had thought that all my laundry was clean before but apparently not! I did some used diapers the other day that I got from DS. The first soak was pretty dingy but I had clear water for the second. I'm pretty convinced its a good product! I don't smell any of the scents once the laundry is done so I don't really see the point. I'll just get scent free from here on out. My only issue is weather or not I really want to have to mail order laundry detergent.

I am planning to do several soaks on the diapers I have put away for the next baby. It seems like a bad idea to store these diapers with buildup in them.

ETA: Here's a picture of towels soaking. (and a random prefold!) The water is pretty dark and gross!

I agree w/ pp about how gross the water is after a soak

I just started using Rockin' Green a few weeks ago and I love it.

I have hard water, and it helped some, but didn't work any better than other detergents I've used. The soak did get my diapers a bit less dingy, but not enough to justify the cost of the detergent.

We use microfiber diapers and they were starting to develop a little bit of a stink problem. Which seems to have been much improved by the switch to Rockin Green.

Right now we are using Wonder Wash for our diapers and all our laundry. How do you find Rockin Green compares to Wonder Wash?

We find that Wonder Wash works great, but it may be fun to try Rockin Green.

To be honest, I don't notice a difference.

My DD's microfibre pocket inserts came out of storage smelling pretty funky, but I started using them on DS about a month ago, and after a few washes with Wonder Wash, there was no stink left. It's not really fair to RG, because the diapers went in without a stink...

But I do feel pretty cool for using it. Reminds me of high school.

I LOVE Rockin Green! I had stink issues and they are completely gone. I use Unscented because my son has a bit of a sensitive bum. I also ordered some of the scented powder for the diaper pail and will give them a try when I get it.
