Reviews

"You are such a wonderful company.  I was a newbie to cloth 6 months ago and every time I have needed help, you have been there.  Even now... I can call and you patiently help me with whatever I ask.  You take time for the customer and so many companies don't do that any more.  You are definitely a company that I have recommended and will continue to recommend to others for all their baby needs.  Thanks so much Jillian's Drawers."

Detergents for Cloth Diapers

 

Choose a detergent for your wonderful cloth diapers that will keep them smelling fresh, leak-free, and soft!



A note on "Free and Clear"...

We get calls daily about leaking cloth diapers (especially pocket diapers and all in ones), and the Free and Clear detergents listed below are the culprits 99% of the time.  Free and Clear detergents contain microbiostats, which control the growth of microorganisms, such as dust mites.  This is beneficial to those with allergies, but may be the common ingredient that causes the fleece in your pocket diapers to repel.  Now, many parents use Free and Clear detergents with great success (it really depends on your local water mineral content and washer), but if you begin to have leaks or smells after a few weeks or months, try stripping your diapers and then switching detergents.

This is the one detergent we have never received a complaint about with regards to cloth diapers. For an additive-free detergent, we recommend Allen's Naturally.

*****

Allen's Naturally
(HE compatible)
98%




A completely natural detergent (the only detergent with the ingredients listed on the label) that works great! Biodegradable.

*****

Charlie's Soap
(HE compatible)
98%




Similar to Allen's Naturally, however ingredients are proprietary. Extensive studies by Clemson University have shown it leaves no residue. Biodegradable.

*****

Sensi-Clean /
Sports-Wash

(HE compatible)
99%




Great for stripping cloth diapers on a monthly basis. Note: while this detergent works great for the majority of babies, some babies will develop a rash.

*****

Country Save 98%




Cost effective, additive free, and great results.
