I like rockin green and i use the homemade eff detergent.

I've tried Vaska but I struggle with liquids and sudsing, between a water softener and a FL.

What to avoid - detergents with additives, enzymes, dyes, perfumes.

What I prefer - I loved Rockin Green, but after 6 months it stopped doing the job and was getting the stinkies every time. Switched to Country Save and couldn't be happier. But detergent choice is very personal.

This is a helpful site.  https://www.diaperjungle.com/detergent-chart.html 

I like ECOS free and clear the best.

I rotate between ECOS free and clear, Tide Powder and Rockin Green. 

You don't need to make it that complicated - I just like to try out different things.

I use Tiny bubbles because it is super cheap at Costco.com - it works out to be something like .1667 cents per load (60 loads a box - 6 boxes for $60), whereas Rockin green is .33 cents a load (14.95 at Kellys closet for the 45/90 loads per box) the 90 loads per box for the front loader (1 tablespoon) people is obviously the same cost as tiny bubbles

We have used Nellies for a long time and I have turned a lot of people on to it. It is fantastic for everything!

We use Planet detergent, you can get it at Kroger (not sure if that's a nationwide grocery chain or not?).  

At first I thought any "free & clear" baby detergent should be fine, but they still contain brighteners that you should avoid.

Country Save!

I use Dropps dye/scent free.

Really, it's up to what type of water you have, and your wash routine. Don't get stuck on one detergent. If it doesn't work, you can always change.
