Detergent is giving me wrinkles

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 

I've got all my diapers, but for the LIFE of me I can't figure out what detergent to use or where the heck to find some. 

 

Does the BumGenius soap make for the obvious choice? Or does something else work better? I'm from Canada, so I feel like I have less choices or at least higher shipping costs. I've read the Bummis's detergent recc. page, but I just want to know what you all are using (please!)

In in Canada, and I'm happy with NatureClean. I did get some stinkies every once in a while until I started using Amaze in the pre-rinse. (Someone said recently that washing powders, like Amaze, might damage fibers. I've not had trouble with it with my cd's, but just an fyi.)

 

I found that Tide did a great job at keeping stinkies at bay, but I had to do lots of rinses, and I was worried it was causing ds's eczema. Before I found Amaze, I used Tide about once a month or so, whenever they started to stink.

 

Also, I have soft water, so that probably affects what works well.

 

Oh, and Rock n Green is supposed to be great for cd's, but again the shipping. You can get it from within Canada, but between the price and the shipping it isn't any cheaper than getting it from the states.

I have best luck with any of the powders for cloth diapers (bumGenius, Rockin Green, Allens, etc.)  Liquids leave more residue if your water is "difficult."

I made my own (super easy and cheap to do) but have also used Allen's, Nellie's, Thirsties and a couple others with good results. Some use original Tide powder with good results. I don't use it for it's non eco-friendly factor.
