Can we talk about detergent for CDs? I'm sure there is a post somewhere but I finished my box of Tide Free & Gentle and literally cannot find it anywhere - I've checked like 8 or 9 stores. And I have diapers that are several days old and need something else stat.
I don't want natural options but I would prefer unscented if possible. We have super hard water.
I mostly used Rockin Green, but I'm pretty sure I used 7th Generation or All Free and Clear in a pinch. I'm violently allergic to Tide, or I would have tried that along the way.
Lately it's been the pods in the ocean mist scent. They don't really like smell like anything (and H would be the first to complain) esp. after a double rinse.
Looks like I'll try regular Tide! I always avoid scented detergent because DD1 and I have super sensitive skin but the babies seem total opposite so it's worth a shot. Thanks!
indylady lol, I'm at Walmart right now actually because it was the last place I could think of to look for the free and gentle! I'll look at the persil!

Tide ultra powder is what we use. We were using All free and clear before that. Would have gone with Target brand but I think the All was cheaper at the time.
Is free and gentle just the white bottle? How odd you can't find it!
It's the white box so I'm guessing it is the white bottle too. Admittedly I have only been looking for the powder so it is possible that the stores have had the liquid, but I've never used liquid detergent for diapers. I might give that a shot if they have any issues with regular Tide!

I like the Persil regular. I thought liquids were a no-go with CDs. Is that not true?
Also, do you wait to strip if/when they smell after washing?
We've only had to blue dawn strip twice - both times were desitin incidents at daycare. If there is any funk though after a wash I usually just do a bleach cycle. I do try to dry in the sun whenever possible.

Is there an advantage to powdered detergent over liquid for diapers? We us Tide Free and Gentle liquid and it works ok, but we have problems with staining.
