If you use Charlie's Soap

how much do you use for a load (filling the water all the way) of CDs? I bought the liquid b/c WF was out of the powder which I wanted and on the back it says 1/8 of a cup for a load of laundry. I know that for CDs we are to usually use HALF the rec. amount - but 1/16 of a cup (which I can hardly even measure!) just seems like nothing... will that really clean my diapers?

I've been using 7th Gen delicate care (only 7th Gen w/ great rating at pinstripes and polka dots), but my week old prefolds are already stained so I'm not sure it'sdoing a good job....

I would still use 1/8 a cup. On the Charlie's packaging it says it is clean-rinsing, so supposedly no residue left behind. When I used the powder I always used the full tablespoon because less than that didn't seem to work that well.

Good luck!

Everything I've read about Charlie's (sorry, can't remember the links at the moment) says not to halve the amount. We use the powder, but I assume it's the same for the liquid.
