detergent ? for cloth diapers

ArmyWife123 · January 2010

im sure this has been asked hundreds of times so im sorry in advance. i did look back a little and didnt see anything on it.....

i will be using BG 3.0s for our LO when he gets here. I bought them used and want to wash them before he gets here (which im told could be basically any time now...). i've been looking at the EFF blog (which is INSANELY helpful!!) but am wondering if anyone knows if its ok to use All Free and Clear on the diapers?? I used it for all LOs clothes, sheets, etc but dont want to ruin the diapers so thought i would ask first!

i really hope this isnt a completely stupid question im trying to learn i promise!!!

TIA!

oh- and if its not ok- where are some good (cheap) places online to get CD detergent??

I haven't tried it yet so someone may have an opinion about it but I think I'm going to buy some Rockin Green.

Make your own! That's what I do. The recipe is on the EFF blog. Super cheap and super easy. Love it!

Not a dumb question. A good detergent is very important. BGs can be finicky so I go with the BG recommended list.

I am pretty sure the normal one isn't the best. The military version is available on bases, commissaries, etc.

Yup anything that says military version you can only buy if you have access to a military base/commissary. The version sold in regular grocery stores will not be the same and therefore not good for CD's.

This site is very helpful. ?It looks like the All F & C is top rated. ?https://www.pinstripesandpolkadots.com/detergentchoices.htm

I'm wondering if Tide F&C is just as good. ?I just bought two huge things of it on sale at BRU. ?I hope it doesn't damage my CDs.?

the military version of all free and clear does not have optical brighteners...which is rec for the ACU. that's why it's only sold in commissaries.
