What kind of detergent do you use?

We've been using an eco-friendly, veggie glycerin based detergent (from Costco actually) for a while.  I've look at the detergents some bumpies talk about Dreck (?) or something and All and frankly, mine seems more gentle and eco-friendly than those chemical ridden ones. 

What do you eco-conscious mamas use?

    I'm using 7th gen HE baby for dipes & baby clothes (and really like it), and Nellie's for everything else because it didn't work for our CDs but it gets everything else clean, and I have like 100 loads to go before it's used up.

    I'm actually interested in switching to the EF Costco brand for everything. I really like their EF dish soap.

    I also like Method detergents but they're ridiculously expensive so I splurge on their plant based fabric softener and get my yummy method scent fix that way (and I only use a teensy bit).

    Are you thinking of Dreft? It's the "standard" baby detergent and is VERY heavily perfumed and god knows who thought it was a good idea to pack a BABY product with so many chemicals.

    We use Country Save, but the store was out last time my husband went so he picked up some Planet.

    YES! This exactly!  I wouldn't even use that stuff for my clothes.
