@otu12345 Because I’ve read Calgon is scented - I am very aware of artificial/cleaning scents. But if it means clean diapers and a happy baby, we’ll use it!
@alpacachex That’s alright! I did the same thing - bought 6 of the AIO’s to try out (and to try out AIO overall, and liked that the inserts were separate to try faster). Thanks for the reply!
@rexcolin I did find that in washing w/ hard water guides, so I have only been doing the pre-wash on cold, then the main wash on warm or hot/and usually with other clothes laundry so there’s ample agitation because our stash is small right now.
@alpacachex I’m not liking the fit of the TT AIO, which is a bummer because I want to like them more! They fit weird around the waist no matter if it’s tighter or looser, and the inserts want to peek out from the back or sides like you mentioned.
@rexcolin That may be a thing! So maybe the OG powder would work great for all laundry for the whole house then.
Thank you, I really appreciate it!! We haven’t had any noticeable issues the few days we’ve used/washed them. But between the hard water & ineffective detergent, I hope we avoid...
@rexcolin I haven’t tried it yet. Currently we use Tide pods for my husband’s work clothes, and I can tell that was used when I move clothes from the washer to the dryer (it’s faint, but I still smell it 😅)
I will consider that! I’ve seen other posts/groups saying how Tide OG powder does...
@graceadele Gosh :( that’s why I’m not continuing with the cloth diapers till I get softeners and better detergent in place tomorrow.
I appreciate you sharing the lesson learned! The Charlie’s will be here Wednesday, but I’m also getting Calgon to try too. I’ll update you if Charlie’s works...
@graceadele Ok! I think I will look into Charlie’s, especially if it’s unscented. I’ve seen a lot of anecdotes of plain ole borax leaving residue, wearing out diapers quicker, or not working w/ wash routines that had very hard water.
And if you’ve had good results since the build-up pickle...
@graceadele Ok! I guess that makes sense Charlie’s booster is a different kind of borax (I didn’t know that.. also didn’t compare ingredients yet haha). Thank you for that info!
