How much OxyClean?

How much OxyClean do you use per load of diapers? I am washing pre-folds. There are some suds in subsequent rinses, and I'm wondering if I need to use less soap (Tide Free filled to first line on scoop) or less OxyClean (1 scoop). Maybe OxyClean doesn't even make suds? I don't know.

I Use

I use about a quarter of a cup for a full load in a front load machine.

I don't think oxyclean makes suds. I wash stuff in the tub and the sink with oxyclean and it doesn't foam then at least. Admittedly though, I'm not sloshing stuff around though because the water is so hot. It works best is very hot water.

If you are using powdered Tide Free, it already has oxygen bleach in it.

If I use an oxygen bleach, I use 1 scoop. Though many powdered detergents already have it.

Oxyclean does not contain soap and will not sud. A quarter of a cup is enough!
