I wanted to double check that this is completely save for my best bottoms diapers + liners. Has anyone's baby been sensitive to this brand? I want to stock up but wanted to ask around first. :)

    According to the Pinstripes and Polkadots website Tide Free and Clear is not a good option. I have been using All small and mighty Free and Clear which they give 4 gold stars. It has to be small and mighty not the regular All free and clear. It has worked well for me. I like that it is cheap and that I can buy it at Target.

    I can't remember why, but regular Tide is supposed to be better for Diapers than the Free & Clear Tide.  I think it's because it cleans better. 

    I started using the Free & Clear, and DS didn't have any reaction to it. I later switched to regular Tide.

    I have also heard not to use Free and Clear and have heard good things about the Original Tide Powder (though this could void any warranty if you have one on your diapers).  I personally use Hard Rock Rockin' Green because we have such hard water and this does help...

    Tide F&C has been just fine for me.

    Rockin Green gave me repelling diapers in less than two weeks.

    IMO, "the rules" of cloth diaper detergents are 99% made-up bullcrap.

    I've been using Tide F&G liquid or powder for over a year now and now issues.  We can't use the regular scented Tide's because they give my son a rash. 

    I haven't found a "cloth diaper" detergent that doesn't either give us ammonia or make the diapers stink like a wet dog.

    Im starting to think the same thing. All the cloth approved ones left me with stink issues. Switched to Tide Free and Clear and all was right in the world. I know most people say the enzymes in Tide make them not CD safe, but I swear its what keeps them clean!
