Detergent Question

LCass

This may seem silly, but what makes a detergent okay or not for CD use?  This had been in the back of my mind, but then when I started seeing that lots of moms use Tide Original and it works well for CDs I really started to wonder.  Do certain ingredients affect absorbency?

Some of them have enzymatic cleaners and brighteners that can, over time, damage your diapers.

Enzymes and brighteners can cause build up or reactions. Dyes and fragrances can also irritate baby skin. Those are the big 4 things that can cause problems.

Personally, I'm not a fan of using something like Tide on my own clothes, so I'm not using it on my baby's stuff.

Thanks for the info!  That makes sense.
