washing

So I’ve got some detergent build up and having ammonia issues along with my baby getting really bad diaper rashes when using cloth. I just tested my water hardness and it’s soft (between 0-25). I was using regular tide powder in an HE top loader (using esembly agitator balls), but now I’m...

Hi! We’re introducing solids and now I have no idea how to deal with poops. She’s been EBF until now. The new poops aren’t firm enough to dispose in the toilet. They’re sticky and sometimes “sandy”. I use inners and they don’t recommend spraying them before hand… How are y’all doing it?

hello friends - i’m sure many of you have seen this question before but i dug through some old posts regarding detergent and couldn’t really find what i was looking for!! i’m due in may 2024 FTM, so brand spankin new to cloth diapering!! if you’re still here, see below info and q’s. we...

Okay this will probably be a long post because I want to include all the details so hopefully someone can help. We started using Nora’s nursery pocket diapers and I was using dreft detergent but I think the fragrance really irritated babies skin so I switched to All Free and Clear. Well I...

An update in case! Made it to a day four main wash with daily prewashes. We also changed to have in cloth a bit longer. Disposable for the big long sleep then switch to cloth, the little wakes up every 1-3 hours following until up for the day. Loaded to close 2/3 wet. I think I can add a bit...

Hi all, I know this has been asked a million times but I'm asking again because I'm a little stumped with my particular situation. I've been clothering my 8 week old EBF son for about 6 weeks and we've started getting stains on the diapers. We're using a mix of AIOs (mostly bum genius) and...

TLDR: is there anything about my wash routine you would change, it’s working for us but I’m anxious and doubting myself. We have been CDing for about a month now. Pockets during the day and a GMD workhorse + hemp booster with a cover overnight. We are loving it so far. Our current wash routine...

I haven’t seen a post on this for awhile so I thought I’d ask. Now that’s it’s been a couple months since the powder was discontinued what have people been using with success? I’ve been using Tide liquid sensitive and free and it was doing ok until my washer started smelling today. I’d really...

Sorry for all the questions, trying to and slowly figuring this out. I have prefolds and flats on their way over in the mail, along with wipes. We might also add “paper towel” or “bidet” wipes in ourselves. However, this still leaves only 1-3 soiled diapers a day. I don’t want to let things sit...

I tested our filtered drinking water today and it was 350+ ppm. I’ll be testing our washing water tomorrow but for this convo let’s just say our water is hard as rocks. I’m beginning the cloth diaper journey with our 6 month old boy, and I am realizing that I am probably not using a strong...
