Detergent recs- switching from rockin green

AMYRENEE27

I posted yesterday that my son has had a rash on and off for months. I am switching detergents to see if this is the issue.

Has anyone tried crunchy clean? Any other recommendations?

Arm & Hammer Essentials Free. 

No perfumes, dyes, brighteners.  It scored fairly high for diaper use.

We use Charlie's soap. Works great for us.

I really like Planet.  I've used powerd and liquid and both have been fine.  It's relatively inexpensive, and I've been able to find it in stores, even in my very non-ecofriendly city.

Can I ask what his rash is like? DS has been battling a rash and weird dry red spots on his legs where the diapers are and a more rash bumpy under his belly button and while it looks better some days it looks awful another and I'm starting to wondering if its maybe the detergent. I swear it started when I started using a new bag of RnG but DH doesn't think so. Anyways just wondering thanks!

We use this too.  I've never had a single issue with stink of any kind and I can buy it at the grocery store.

Thirsties pre and super wash. It's a little spendy but SO worth the money. Gentle on fabrics and baby but kills all the yuckies.

I don't know what hers is like, but DD has a similar one... a couple of quarter-sized bright red patches in her groin area (sort of inner thighish but higher) that feel pretty dry. I recently switched away from Rockin Green too. 

We still have it, but it seems to be getting a little better... I haven't stripped yet though. 

 

We've been using Planet and I have some Tide I'm going to try out, too.

We have used cruncy clean, works good, right now we are using country save (can get it at the store) and bac out as needed, working great!

I just ran out of RnG and used Dawn. So far so good. I'm over their high prices for so little detergent. I might try regular Tide too but Planet worked okay for us except we got the ammonia stinkies faster than with RnG.

It is a flat red rash on his front area and even on his penis.  It is also on the side of his leg where the diaper is.
