The key to simple laundering with cloth diapers is choosing the right detergent. Some detergents have other ingredients in them that when used on cloth diapers over time create build up on the diapers causing them to retain odors and become less absorbent. Below is a list of recommended detergents and ones to avoid.
Note: When possible, choose powder detergents over liquid.

Hello! For country save how much soap do you use and what is your washing routine? I wash my sons diapers every 2 days and am having issues using that soap

Hi there! Was wondering what your thoughts are on Persil Original Scent and Persil Sensitive? Thanks so much!

Michelle – good question. I haven’t used Biokleen laundry detergent – only their Biokleen Bac-out product which is great for killing bacteria and odors in diapers. If my diapers have a special funk, I’ll soak them in Bac-out for a day before tossing them in the wash.
To answer your question… according to an independent study (that can be found here: http://www.countrysave.com/lab_test.php) Biokleen seems to be a pretty good detergent and comparable to Tide and Country Save detergents. Based on this info, I would think Biokleen is a good laundry detergent.
Unfortunately I can’t say much about Molly’s Suds. There’s a lot of reviews out there regarding the brand but they seem to be all sponsored by Molly’s. I’d love to see an independent review of them before making an assessment.

Why is biokleen not recommended? I’ve been using it with some oxygen bleach -it’s been working good. What do you think of Molly’s Suds Cloth Diaper Laundry Powder? This blog is a great resource! Thanks!

Does liquid tide original scent also work? Or only powder?
