[HELP] zero residue detergent ?

[Jellybean29]

Have you googled natural laundry powders? I had a quick look and it looks loke there are some you can make yourself Didn't go down the page very far so there might be more there.

haha i'm way to lazy to make my own! I'm trying to convince myself to do cloth, I need easy options or I'll just stick with spossies :P

I use Eco store in my front loader and i put about 1/4 of the amount in for nappies
You can buy some from the nappy makers/ sellers called rockingreen it is made for nappies i think but the eco store stuff works great here!

Hey BBB, I'm giving Rockin' Green a try (you can find info on it on the itti bitti website) which is made for cloth nappies.

I sometimes use a couple of tablespoons of bicarb if I'm washing nappies on their own.

Otherwise might they need a strip wash? Washing powder builds up over time affecting their absorbency. Not sure how to do it in a front loader though. I use really hot water and a teeny bit of washing up liquid, but I'm fairly certain that's a no-no in a FL.

Also, in a front loader, if you just wash them a couple of times through on a hot wash (60 degrees if you have that setting) with no detergent or anything and dry them off using a dryer, that should get rid of most of the residue that may have built up.

how did you go?

another ecostore user here was reccomended it for nappies but now use it for everything.
