Homemade Laundry Detergent and Fuzzi Bunz?

Q. What kind of detergent is recommended to use with Fuzzi Bunz?

A. Tide Regular or Free, Cheer Regular or Free, Arm and Hammer Regular or Free, Allen's Naturally, E-Cover or Purex and Charlies Soap – the two highest recommended are Allen’s Naturally (www.allensnaturaly.com) and Charlies Soap (www.charliesoap.com). Please note that most detergents sold in health food stores are NOT suitable for Fuzzi Bunz because they use citrus oils as a surfactant – what gets stuff clean. Citrus oils will cause repelling because oil and water do not mix. We have tested many “natural” detergents for use with Fuzzi Bunz and Allen's Naturally, E-Cover and Charlie’s Soap are the only three detergents that we have found that have been successful at cleaning Fuzzi Bunz and ARE natural alternatives to store bought detergents. Soap Products such as Dr. Bronners will leave soap scum on the fabric. Dreft has softeners which cause repelling as well.
I've been using Tide. I'm just about out and I'm hoping to make my own laundry soap for regular clothes. But what about for washing diapers with? I use prefolds in my fuzzi bunz. However, I don't want to have to separate them before washing!

Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Aven
