I also use liquid Calgon, which is something I only added in the last month-- I wish I had started sooner as it has made a HUGE difference. 2.) Is it possible for someone living in a rented duplex to use a sprayer on the toilet? Or are these permanent fixtures that only home owners can really use? I don't use a sprayer, so I can't help with this one. Sorry! 3.) Are there any tried, true, and tested homemade laundry detergents that you can use with CD's without ruining them? Charlie's Soap, Allen's Naturally, and Country Save seem to the top 3 diaper-friendly detergents. Any one of those should be fine. It's the detergents with soap, fragrances, dyes, etc. that can really ruin your diaper and/or bother your baby's skin. 4.) How on Earth do you decide which diapers to go with? Did you initially buy one of each, use them on the baby, and then create a stash? Or just go with your gut instinct and hope for the best once baby is here? Everybody has a different way of deciding. For me, it was as simple as reading about the different kinds and then going with what I thought would work best for me: http://www.jilliansdrawers.com/newtocloth.
