Front load washer

Hey, I'm 6 weeks pregnant and expecting my first! I'm planning on using cloth diapers and have a couple friends that have been giving me tips and will be a huge support once LO comes along. I am hoping to make my own detergent with borax/oxiclean/etc as some of you and a friend has suggested. Can I put this in the detergent slot on my machine as I do with my regular everyday detergent? Or do I just throw a scoop in the machine itself with the diapers? Sorry if this is a silly question.. this is a whole new world to me and I have a lot to learn!!

Thanks :)

    Yes, it'd be the same as regular detergent. In my particular machine there's a little "door" that you have to slide up for powders, so if you've got one of these, just make sure it's up for the powder! You'll also only need between 1-2 Tbsp of detergent for the diapers, not a whole scoop like you'd need for a regular load of clothes.

    We have an LG front loader. Powdered detergent goes in the little detergent tray; we have to take out the liquid tray which sits over the powdered detergent tray, if that makes sense.

    Thanks guys!! I've never used powder detergent in mine, I'll have to take a look to see where it's supposed to go. Thank you for the help :)
