We have since switched to Tide but I can't handle the original Tide smell after using unscented for so long so we're using the free and gentle. Our diapers smell so much better than they used to! </p> <p>@sorrycharlie: I joined that fb group awhile ago and it all made so much more sense to use more detergent not less!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-detergent-do-you-use-for-your-diapers#post-2011164 Mon, 05 Jan 2015 23:33:05 +0000 lady grey 2011164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use RnG and oxyclean detergent to strip, per the fuzzibunz's website suggestions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-detergent-do-you-use-for-your-diapers#post-2010962 Mon, 05 Jan 2015 20:58:43 +0000 MsInformation 2010962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Allen's Naturally, but after reading this thread I feel like I should just switch to Tide! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-detergent-do-you-use-for-your-diapers#post-2010913 Mon, 05 Jan 2015 20:36:27 +0000 littleblessings 2010913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rockin Green Funk rock didn't work for us.

It is a BG approved diaper detergent. Every once in awhile I do add the 1/4 cup bleach that BG recommends and it definitely gets rid of any funk/odor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-detergent-do-you-use-for-your-diapers#post-1559390 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 12:15:16 +0000 AmandaB8 1559390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All Free and Clear works great for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-detergent-do-you-use-for-your-diapers#post-1559379 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 12:12:48 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1559379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dojo: This is the one we use (bought it at sams club in a GIANT box) </p> <p><a href="http://www.soap.com/p/tide-he-ultra-powder-detergent-807765?site=CA&#038;utm_source=Google&#038;utm_medium=cpc_S&#038;utm_term=PG-5409&#038;utm_campaign=GoogleAW&#038;CAWELAID=1903860505&#038;utm_content=pla&#038;adtype=pla&#038;cagpspn=pla&#038;noappbanner=true" rel="nofollow">http://www.soap.com/p/tide-he-ultra-powder-detergent-807765?site=CA&#038;utm_source=Google&#038;utm_medium=cpc_S&#038;utm_term=PG-5409&#038;utm_campaign=GoogleAW&#038;CAWELAID=1903860505&#038;utm_content=pla&#038;adtype=pla&#038;cagpspn=pla&#038;noappbanner=true</a> </p> <p>I am fairly sure it is the one that is recommended, but that is a good point about the crystals.

I was thinking to try it since it seems like lots of CD families use Tide with good luck but the only type I could find had 'acti-lift' (blue specks?) and I didn't know if that was a no-no. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-detergent-do-you-use-for-your-diapers#post-1559018 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 10:54:35 +0000 thismustbetheplace 1559018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rockin' Green makes a product called "funk rock" that is supposed to help when the funk builds up. Maybe you could try that? Otherwise- I've heard this come up a few times on my local CD facebook group- the moms almost universally suggest switching to tide original powder. Odd because I thought you needed to use a CD specific detergent, but they swear by it. </p> <p>Have you tried using something with enzymes like Bac-Out? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-detergent-do-you-use-for-your-diapers#post-1558998 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 10:51:02 +0000 avivoca 1558998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ecos! </p>
