Detergent opinions

Bountifulbride

I've been using Arm & Hammer for Sensitive Skin and I don't like it AT.ALL.

So now my debate is should I go the homemade route like this: https://www.theecofriendlyfamily.com/2009/08/cloth-diaper-detergent.html or spend a little more $ and order something online like Rockin Green?  

Thoughts/advice/opinions please :-D  Thanks!

I personally wouldn't use RG.  Even the non recall batches give lots of babies problems.

I use planet powder and never had an issue.

We make our own. It is cheap and ridiculously easy. And works better than anything else on the market.

Do you have a recipe?  I have been looking into this and am  curious what works for others!  TIA

This is one recipe I've seen others talk highly about and I'm considering trying...

3 Boxes Arm & Hammer Washing Soda (55 oz each)
2 Boxes 20 Mule Team Borax (76 oz each)
1 Large Tub OxiClean (96 oz)

Yes, it's a lot, but it's super cheap to make, so no biggie It just lasts forever. Or you can share

Dumb question, but I have a HE washer, can you use this in my washer and how much do you use? Thanks!

You can use it in an HE machine.  I don't personally have one, but I've read users that use 1/2 - 1 tbs per load.  I would start with half and adjust from there.  If they smell dirty, use more - get ammonia build up, use less.
