I've been using Tide and it's ok I guess but I'm wondering what else everyone uses I would like to try something different to see if it helps with the smell.

TIA :)

And vinegar!

I use Allen's Naturally. I love it... it is really weird and hard to explain but there is a smell of no smell...

hmm... Not like a free and clear where there is no scent but the Allen's scent should be called "no scent"...

OMG I'm totally not making any sense... its too late and i should be in bed, LOL

Is the Allen's natural something you get at a natural food store?

Both my little guys have eczema, so I have to be picky about detergent. Tide & Cheer both gave my ds rashes. :(

I use Sun & Earth detergent (it's not too bad pricey if you buy it in bulk when it goes on sale). ;) If I can't get that, I use All Free and Clear, which works. I've also used MelaPower a lot in the past, and it didn't cause my boys to have rashes. I use vinegar every few washes.

I'm also obsessive about extra rinses. *lol* I wash on the warm/long cycle with detergent, then let it rinse, spin, rinse, spin. Then I set it back to a 6 minute wash without soap and let it run through the whole cycle again (wash, rinse, rinse). Works for us. :)

We're a Tide lovin' family over here. No problems with rashes and I like the way it smells.

Surf with active oxygen. I remember I got a few diapers from another mama here and I asked her what she washed them with b/c they smelled so good and she said Surf. I also threw in some baking soda every now and then.

I use Melapower. I love it! It smells so fresh and works wonders even in hard water.;cool:

Dish soap :)

I use either Purex or Costco's brand (can't think of the name right now)

We use All free and clear

If you have AIO's I'd say no vinegar, I used vinegar before and PUL doesn't like it. Since I stopped it i never had wicking/leaking anymore.

I used the all free and clear and I had a horrible time with my diapers leaking because it coated them. Maybe it was just the diapers I was using at the time?

I was wanting to try the melapower but I don't know anyone local that sells melaluca and I wonder if I can get it through anyone here or if it would be double shipipng, I don't know how that works.

Has anyone used the wal-mart generic of Tide? I bought some today and I know I can use it on my clothes alright but I wanted to make sure it wouldn't coat my cd's.

Thanks for all the replies so far :)

Try to find someone near you that does Melaleuca and see if you can give them the money to order you a bottle to try, otherwise maybe they will give you a little of their detergent.

We were using All free and clear but Iven kept getting a rash so now we are using disposables until I can get all the diapers stripped and then we will try MelaPower.

I have used a bunch of different detergents. I've never really had a problem of any of them, except one generic I got in a pinch at Kmart -- it left all my laundry rather dingy. Most often, we use the Member's Mark brand from Sam's Club, or Sun from Wal-Mart.
