accidental detergent switch

MagsMayMommy

I accidentally ordered a Hard Rock mix of Rockin' Green instead of the Classic like I normally use.  Our water isn't particularly hard or soft.  Would it be a bad idea to use the Hard Rock on my diaper laundry?

Do you know what kind of water you have?  The help section of Rockin' Green can help give you an idea if you give them your zip code.  I just purchased one of their test strips and tested the water right out of the washing machine.  (I have hard to very hard water, but I knew this already since my get wicked bad buildup in my hair instantly since we moved here.) 

I would suggest checking with the Guru or just ordering their test strip to check because the Hard Rock could be too strong for your water type.

I use Hard Rock for extremely hard water, but I know on the bag it just suggests to use less detergent if your water isn't hard.  I don't know from experience, but it seems like it would be fine if you just use less.

I didn't know this.  Good to know!

I'm not sure what it would do since your water is in the middle- but apparently I have soft water and I was using hard rock. I ended up with some serious build-up and leaking issues!
