Cloth Diapers Clean as a Whistle

by Autumn Beck on January 23, 2010

While I was on vacation this past week I saw a video posted on Facebook that I couldn’t wait to get home and share with you!
I don’t endorse any one detergent as “the” cloth diaper detergent.  However, Kim of Rockin Green Soap is doing a fantastic job of proving the efficacy of her formula.

Does Rockin Green Cloth Diaper Detergent Work?

by Autumn Beck on November 22, 2009

This past summer I introduced you to Rockin Green Cloth Diaper Detergent.  Kim kindly sent me some samples and I eagerly used them all up.  I was pleased: clothes smelled clean, cloth diapers smelled clean, no rashes occurred… two thumbs up.
However, after the samples were gone I went back to using my Kirkland’s Environmentally Friendly.  [...]

The Diaper Sprayer is on My Never List

by Autumn Beck on October 5, 2009

First, I’ll start off by saying that I am extremely easy to convince of something if your argument is good.   That being said feel free to redeem the Diaper Sprayer after I’m done
Why after 4 years of cloth diapering have I never purchased a diaper sprayer?

How many ways can you rehash this arguement??  Oh, a million and one!

My Favorite Laundry Detergent for Cloth Diapers

by Autumn Beck on December 18, 2008

When it comes to cloth diapering, washing is the number one sand trap.  I’ve seen moms who’ve been cloth diapering for years suddenly panic over their washing routine.
If I had a dime for every washing combination out there I’d certainly be able to afford an entire stash of Goodmamas!

How I Use Bac-Out

by Autumn Beck on November 11, 2008

There are always tons of questions when it comes to washing cloth diapers, removing stink, and how to use laundry additives.  Like most of you, we were plagued by the dreaded stinky diapers even when supposedly clean.  I had read about Bac-Out by Biokleen and gave it a shot.

To Wet or Dry Pail It…That Is The Question

by Autumn Beck on October 18, 2008

I have always used a dry pail.  Even written about how I would never use a wet pail.  Until now.
The stinkiness just got to be too much.  My husband and oldest daughter complained incessantly about the smell of Paisley’s diapers.  Haley (my oldest) was always calling for me to change Paisley’s “stinky pee” when in [...]

Performance Update: Laundry Ball and Zorb

by Autumn Beck on October 10, 2008

I’ve recently received a number of emails wondering how the Laundry Ball and Zorb are performing after repeated uses.
The Laundry Ball: When I first received the the Laundry Ball I was amazed at its ability to remove odors. I could wash a load of diapers with nothing but Oxyclean and they came out smelling [...]

In the middle of June I wrote a post about removing buildup from your cloth diapers. In that post one of my suggestions was for the Laundry Ball. At the time of writing I didn’t have a need for any of the items. But after spending a weekend camping with no laundry [...]
