Is Detergent Build Up Real? The Cloth Diaper Debate Continues

Is Detergent Build Up Real?

Before we get into it, here’s a quick summary if you don’t have time to read the whole post (I do recommend clicking my links to see what I was saying a decade ago as well!)

Best ways to wash cloth diapers

Today’s detergents are very concentrated; you may not need as much as you think
However, cloth diapers are heavily soiled laundry, treat it that way!
Detergent that works well on your family’s laundry should be fine for cloth diapers
Try to wash every 2-3 days
Don’t pack the washer full!

Why do I care about cloth diaper detergent?

Cloth diaper detergents and washing cloth diapers have always been subjects near and dear to my heart. One of the first posts I wrote on this blog in 2009 talked about how the myth of needing special cloth diaper detergents prevented me from using cloth diapers from birth with my second child.

Change-Diapers received products to review. If you click & buy, we may receive a small commission, thank you! All opinions are our own. Diaper Junction sent us the Diaper Rite AIO to review which my 3-year-old was happy to do. While we are actively trying to be diaper free with him, there are times we do still use our diapers.

Eco Nuts: Clean Your Laundry with Berries (Yes, Really!)

Jul 5,2017 / By Katie Fender / No Comment

Eco Nuts Natural Laundry Products Review

Katie received complimentary products for review. Change-Diapers was not otherwise compensated and all opinions are her own. The Eco Nuts mission is to provide a healthier cleaning option for your family and our planet through their nontoxic organic cleaners in sustainable packaging. With there being a huge problem with plastic on our planet, Eco Nuts refuses to contribute to it. They are committed to being as plastic-free as they possibly can so they opt to package in more sustainable, highly recyclable options such as aluminum and paperboard. They want to keep cleaning safe and simple in your home with no hidden chemicals or toxins, choosing safe ingredients for their products. Eco Nuts is also mindful when it comes to manufacturing: their products are cruelty-free and certified organic, and their soap berries are ethically sourced from Nepal, creating jobs there as well. Eco Nuts sent me a box full of cleaning products to review and there are so many products that I decided to break it up into two separate posts.

Cloth Diapering Diaper Sprayers

Kleppo Diaper Sprayer Review

Jan 16,2017 / By Katie Fender / 8 Comments

Katie received a sprayer free to review. If you click & buy, we may receive a small commission, thank you. Every cloth diapering parent has a different answer when asked what their “must have” diaper accessory is. For me, I always answer with “diaper sprayer.” After cloth diapering two kids in a total of about five years, I have really appreciated having a diaper sprayer. My husband made us a homemade diaper sprayer and that worked pretty well for us but when Kleppo asked if we wanted to review their sprayer, I was excited to try it.
