A full load for me is ~12-14 pockets, the inserts (2 per diaper), a cover or two and a couple prefolds. Oh and cloth wipes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-detergent#post-1149456 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 17:11:37 +0000 pelikila 1149456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used Tiny Bubbles for cloth diapers and Rock n Green for everything else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-detergent#post-1149431 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 16:51:20 +0000 JerricaBenton 1149431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use Ecos Free and Clear for everything. Sometimes I buy the scented version and use it on linens but mostly I just use the unscented on everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-detergent#post-1149320 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 15:33:39 +0000 Turd Ferguson 1149320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cheesetomywhine: Question (and sorry for threadjacking!): what do you consider a "full load" of diapers? Like...20? :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-detergent#post-1149312 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 15:30:49 +0000 twinmama 1149312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsmate: I love it! Our local cloth shop just said, 'here, this is what works best for our county's water supply....we've already tried it all' :) I've been buying it locally, but it looks like I can get it cheaper on amazon, thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-detergent#post-1149187 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 13:54:06 +0000 mrsmate 1149187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MerryC: we are a Country Save family too!</p> <p>Not only does it work great with cloth diapers, it's cheap. I get a year's supply (and then some) thru Amazon Subscribe &amp; Save. It's nice to never, ever run out of detergent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-detergent#post-1149130 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 13:27:06 +0000 yin 1149130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Charlie's Soap for all laundry, including CD. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-detergent#post-1148988 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 12:26:30 +0000 twinmama 1148988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We currently use Country Save powder for all of our laundry, diapers included.</p> <p>If you are going to cloth diaper from the start, I would highly recommend finding one detergent that will work for everything. With twins, you are probably going to have a lot of people coming to help, and starting a load of laundry is an easy thing that a lot of people did for us. I wouldn't want to risk messing up my diapers bc a friend unknowingly used the wrong detergent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-detergent#post-1148922 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 11:57:13 +0000 ShootingStar 1148922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm using Ecos F&amp;C for diapers and All F&amp;C for very thing else. Maybe once we run out of All I'll use just Ecos. But no Tide for us, I'm allergic to it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-detergent#post-1148901 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 11:44:58 +0000 babynumber1 1148901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use All free and clear for everyones clothes. Its a great price and has worked great at getting stains out the past year and a half. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-detergent#post-1148898 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 11:42:06 +0000 cheesetomywhine 1148898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use tide (the original) powder for all our clothes and cloth diapers. For a full load of diapers I fill it to the smallest line. Works great for us. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-detergent#post-1148892 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 11:38:53 +0000 teamjse 1148892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our whole family use Tide Free and Gentle, it works well for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-detergent#post-1148837 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 11:20:28 +0000 citymouse 1148837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are planning to cloth diaper and I found this chart helpful:</p> <p><a href="http://www.pinstripesandpolkadots.com/detergentchoices.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.pinstripesandpolkadots.com/detergentchoices.htm</a></p> <p>Has almost every detergent on the market, with a grade for brighteners, enzymes, etc... the things you have to look out for depending on your diaper brand's warranty/recommendations. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-detergent#post-1148827 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 11:15:30 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 1148827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks ladies! I'm spending the week at my moms &amp; we have all the diapers &amp; baby clothes at her house so we can start washing them. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Tide will be a simple solution. Right now we use Era. Has anyone used this with CD/baby clothes? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-detergent#post-1148761 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 10:54:25 +0000 lovehoneybee 1148761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use Charlie's Soap Laundry Powder for all of E's clothes and diapers and Costco brand detergent for me and DH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-detergent#post-1148640 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 10:01:05 +0000 danda 1148640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use Rockin Green for diapers and All Free and Clear from Costco for everything else (baby and household). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-detergent#post-1148638 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 09:59:51 +0000 autumnlove 1148638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ecos Free and Clear </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-detergent#post-1148634 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 09:59:05 +0000 blackbird 1148634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use Tide Ultra, too! We buy it at Sam's Club and wash EVERYTHING in it. The first couple of months, we used Free and Clear for E's clothes, though. Now we don't bother </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-detergent#post-1148627 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 09:54:43 +0000 Turd Ferguson 1148627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't started yet, but I have just the Tide original (I think it's called Tide Ultra now...) stashed up that I'm planning to use on everything--cloth diapers included. From what I've read, it's supposed to actually work great, though, as I'm sure you know, in the cloth diaper world, everyone seems to have a differing opinion and there's sadly no "right" answer!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-detergent#post-1148623 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 09:52:28 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 1148623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is there a soap you use for diapers &amp; all the rest of the house hold wash. One of my friends has found that tide works well for her family but won't I need fancy stuff for the babies once they come. Something less harsh? I'm trying to avoid buying 3 different detergents. </p>
