I just used my sample Rockin Green the other day and I'm using the rest of it right now soaking another lot of nappies. I soaked them in the machine for most of the day but all the poo stains were still there as with a normal wash. My last lot are still drying so I haven't used them yet. They feel a little softer so I thought maybe something nice had happened in the wash- better not be softener! Hope they're not less absorbent. So far, not so great here.
