I *really* like it because it's easy, free from additives, and works amazingly well on stains. Seriously, I have never had a stain I couldn't remove from DD's clothes (which is kind of absurd given the messes she makes...). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/separate-detergent#post-1349741 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 12:45:27 +0000 Greentea 1349741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just all use seventh generation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/separate-detergent#post-1349738 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 12:43:50 +0000 purrpletulips 1349738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All free and clear for all, I refuse to buy more than one type of detergent </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/separate-detergent#post-1349578 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 12:11:25 +0000 LuLu Mom 1349578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: I've never had any issues &amp; the look and feel clean, if it's a "bad" stain I will pre-treat it or soak it so that helps with any lingering stains. I've always done that though, so I don't know if it is necessary? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/separate-detergent#post-1349478 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 11:55:42 +0000 Alivoo01 1349478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use Ecos for everyone.</p> <p>@LuLu Mom: I'll have to look into Purex Free and Clear! Do you find Tide or Purex good at removing stains? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/separate-detergent#post-1349399 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 11:41:12 +0000 petunia354 1349399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are still using Dreft at 1 year. This 2nd tub has literally lasted us like 6+ months!! I tried washing his stuff with ours using 7th Generation detergent but he broke out in a ton of eczema that we are still battling so we'll be using Dreft for a while until we can get his skin under control. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/separate-detergent#post-1349395 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 11:40:49 +0000 autumnlove 1349395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use all free and clear for the family and Ecos for cloth diapers </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/separate-detergent#post-1349390 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 11:39:44 +0000 yellowbird 1349390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pinkcupcake: we use all free and clear for everything.

I've used Purex Free &amp; Clear as well and it works well &amp; is cheaper than Tide. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/separate-detergent#post-1349363 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 11:35:45 +0000 Bookish 1349363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, we just use All Free &amp; Clear or the equivalent HEB brand. I've actually not had a problem with stains...but she isn't eating 3 meals a day yet, so we'll see! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/separate-detergent#post-1349362 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 11:35:41 +0000 MrsH 1349362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use tide free and clear for LOs and normal tide for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/separate-detergent#post-1349357 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 11:35:01 +0000 cheert16 1349357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use separate detergent- but I think once we finish this container of free and clear- we will just use regular tide. He uses the towels we wash in the regular detergent and he is fine- I would like to not have to stock up on two separate kinds! FYI- Lo is 9 months </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/separate-detergent#post-1349353 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 11:33:42 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1349353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use All Free &amp; Clear, but you are right, it doesn't do a great job on stains. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/separate-detergent#post-1349345 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 11:32:19 +0000 delight 1349345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use separate detergent! It never bothers me cause I'd wash her clothes separately anyways cause I use hand wash cycle for her and speed wash for me. So having two different detergents is find with me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/separate-detergent#post-1349321 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 11:29:25 +0000 doodlepoodle 1349321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stopped after we ran out of our 2nd tub, we used Dreft for j and stopped about 10 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/separate-detergent#post-1349311 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 11:27:01 +0000 pinkcupcake 1349311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wash LO's clothes in Dreft and ours with Tide pods. I used All Free &amp; Clear for a long time, but found that the clothes started looking dingy and it wasn't great at getting stains out.</p> <p>Do you use separate detergent to wash yours &amp; LO's clothes? When did you stop? </p>
