How much Tide HE in front loader

Pretzel80

I just bought some Tide original HE to try in place of RNG because I've been having Ammonia stink issues. How much of the powder do you use in a typical diaper cycle in a front loader washer? Also, do you think I'll have to change my wash routine at all...currently cold prewash, hot wash, cold rinse, extra rinse?

Thanks!!

Up to first line

One teaspoon and up to line 1 are waaay different!!! I need someone else to respond to give a majority :

I go up to the 1st line, sometimes the 2nd with my FL. I wouldn't expect 1 tsp to properly clean my regular laundry, let alone laundry that has had poop on it.

Regarding your wash routine, try switching to a warm or hot prewash. 

Sorry it's not clicky, but here is a blog post about diaper laundering I've found helpful. It is from the people at Abby's Lane:

I use up to the first line.  I use a warm prewash rather than cold.

Just below the first line

I do a cold rinse, hot/cold wash with extra rinse

For the first year I used up to the first line. Now that DD is a little older and a little stinkier, I use between line 1-2.

Thanks for the replies! I used up to the 1 this time and there were so many suds even with two soaking towels and adding some extra water! I had to do multiple extra rinses to get all the bubbles to go away. Might try a little less next time and see how they come out.

I used up to the 1 the first time, but found the diapers *reaked* of perfume. I'm trying 2 tbsp. Honestly though, I'm really sad Nellie's hasn't worked with our water and/or our washer.

ETA: my wash routine is also cold rinse, hot wash with an extra rinse.
