Anyone use Ecos laundry detergent?

I am considering using Ecos *liquid* laundry detergent on our cloth diapers and baby clothes.  I am new to this and wanted some real people's opinions.  I have a HE machine if that makes a difference.  Thanks!

ETA: forgot to specify that it would be the liquid version.

    We used Ecos in liquid form for while, but after a few months we had to switch because we had horrible issues with ammonia.  I have a standard (non-HE) washing machine.  Of all the detergents we have used Tide Ultra Powder has by far worked best for us.

    We are planning on using it! I used it to prep all of our pockets, pre-folds, and covers. We're trying it- if it doesn't work well on diapers, we'll try something else- probably Tide Ultra (FTM, so I've heard that it takes some experimentation, depending on what kind of washer/water you have).

    I have not used it on diapers but we did try it for our clothing. It did not work well for us and our clothes were not getting clean. We have hard water and a top load washing machine. After trying several other "safe" options we have started using powdered Tide for our diapers and clothes with success.

    Ecos is a good detergent, but terrible if you have even the slightest bit of hard water.  We had major ammonia issues after a short period of time.
