Rockin' Green Pre-Soak Laundry Detergent Unscented Funk Rock 30 Loads | Ammonia Bouncer Laundry Pre-Soak, Odor Remover for Activewear, Cloth Diapers, Pet Bedding & Laundry

At both 8ish and 14 months into cloth diapering, had been exclusively using tide powder detergent, I noticed my diapers were just getting stiff/not very soft anymore and my son was getting some diaper rash. The first time, I just changed my prefolds size up(second size of petite crown) and it temporarily fixed the problem, the second time I needed to actually figure out a solution. A few runs of Grovia Mighty Bubbles helped my issue a bit, which confirmed my suspicion that it was probably hard water build up in the diapers. I had RLR in the house but for whatever reason just didn’t want to really use it. Figured it was my last resort if everything else failed. I had also purchased Hard Rock and Dirty Diaper Rockin Green (anyone else mass buy things that might help you solve your issue?). I do two heavy duty washes(Frigidaire top loader, max fill washer), first in warm then second wash just prefolds on hot with a soak which extends my heavy wash cycle. I started running the first wash with Tide powder to line 4, second wash I do a hefty scoop of both the hard rock and the dirty diaper detergent. The first few times I noticed them coming out a little softer. Started drying on low for 60 minutes, then air drying to finish them off instead of just drying on high heat. I don’t think I’m ever changing this routine. I feel like it’s just the perfect combination. The diapers continue to come out softer, I know the hard water build up is being prevented, I just couldn’t be happier. I’m going back and washing the first prefold size and I’m seeing the results repeated. If you have hard water and know it (hello mineral deposits on your shower and faucets) this is a great product to look into. I also really love that it’s unscented. One of the things I hated about tide was the scent. Just screams hormone disrupters. The first few times you’re washing to get mineral build up out, you might have to include more detergent. I think I did a solid 3 or 4 scoops with a soak right away but then backed it down a bit. Great product, please don’t discontinue!! Update: now that I’ve gotten the minerals out, I’ve backed down the detergent even more for that second wash in hot… the enzymes can be a little strong once they get wet otherwise and can go after his skin. Or rinse more… want to make sure to get all the detergent out. Update: I’m now diapering my second child and using this detergent! Changed washing machines. I have a speed queen tc5. Love it! I do a quick rinse, a heavy duty wash set on warm and heavy soil with two scoops detergent. Then follow with a permanent press heavy soil warm water no detergent. Chefs kiss. Perfect every time and so soft.

My well water is extremely hard. This detergent softens the water and cleans the laundry as it should. Very satisfied with hard rock laundry detergent. Will definitely buy again and again!!!

So yeah...not someone here trying to save the planet or thinks everything has to be 'natural'. But the wife said she hated Tide so off I went to find something she'd approve up. Came across this and after our first bag, been on subscribe and save since. I like the smell and it cleans what we throw at it. Hard to ask for more than that!

This is the only laundry detergent I've found so far that actually gets my cloth diapers looking and smelling clean! The stain removal is amazing! I like that it is environmentally friendly, would like it more if the bags weren't made of plastic, that is my only qualm.

We've been cloth-diapering for just over 14 months, we use a mixture of Fuzzi Bunz and Bum Genius pocket diapers and some BG all-in-ones (the BEST if you ask me). I saw the RnG in a specialty shop before my son was born and thought it seemed like an awfully small package and decided to pass it up. Until recently, we've been washing our diapers in regular detergent. I'm not loyal to any one brand, I just prefer unscented, as natural as possible, and then whatever is on sale. This seemed to work out okay until my baby was about 6 months old, then I noticed his diapers had started to reek even when they were just wet. I had had to stop nursing and start formula, which I think stinks quite a bit just on its own, so I thought that could be the issue. We were having terrible problems with leakage, too, he could barely make it half an hour without pee soaking through to his pants, but again I assumed maybe his urine output increased because he was getting more at each feeding with formula. But the problem persisted after he turned a year old. I started Googling "stinky cloth diapers" and learned all about the evils of detergent buildup and using the wrong detergent/amount/method for diapers. It just so happens that apparently All Free and Clear is awful for diapers because it contains a brightening agent that builds up on fleece. Go figure, this was the most recent detergent I had purchased. I tried several times to strip my diapers and started washing them in just baking soda. They still had a musty funk when they came out of the dryer. I thought I had ruined my expensive diapers for good. And for all the glowing reviews I read of RnG, it was the few negative ones that made me nervous. It would be just my luck that it wouldn't work for me. Then I couldn't decide between Funk Rock or Hard Rock. I went for the hard rock and did an overnight soak with it before going to just regular washing. I will say that the magic wasn't instant. I still detected a faint musty smell after the soak and the first few washes. But now not only is the smell totally wiped out, the diapers and liners are softer and fluffier and brighter than they were before. They were getting to be a little dingy with the regular detergent. For the record, I have a top-loader, nothing fancy, I live in an apartment and it came with the unit. I run a cold cycle with no soap, then a hot cycle with a cold rinse (my machine only lets me rinse cold) with 2 tbs of Rockin' Green. My diaper loads are usually small to medium but I set my washer for a large load for the most water. Sometimes I do another soap-free cold cycle after but usually stopping after the hot wash is fine. Then I tumble dry low. This stuff is amazing, don't write it off if you don't notice an immediate difference. And it's a small package but I was surprised by the heft it had to it, and at 2 tbs per load, it'll last a while. Plus if you only use it for diapers...well, we were down to once it twice a week but now we have two in diapers so we wash about every other day if not every day.

Years ago, when looking for a detergent with a clean ingredients list that wouldn't bother the sensitive skin in our family and would actually get the clothes clean, Rockin' Green came out on top. Great product!

I use this with almost every load of laundry usually on the prewash cycle. I have a 3 year old, 7 month old and very hard working husband and everyone is HARD on their clothes. This does an excellent job getting clothes clean. It seems like a small bag for what you’re paying, until you realize that you only use 1-2 tablespoons of product at a time, which I think makes it a great value. The scent smells really natural and not overpowering or chemically. I’ve never had an issue with the bag leaking, however I don’t like the bag it comes in because of the way it rips when opened. I could use scissors but never do, I just decant it into a canister. It’s easy to scoop, but sometimes clumps together. We all have very sensitive skin(tide gives my husband hives) and he’s never had an issue with this product. I even used it with both my babies when they were newborns and their skin has done well with it as well. We have a front loader and I notice lingering odors when I skip this step.

Worked very well when our soft water equipment broke.

For those who use nonscented laundry detergents: there are times when those towels/diapers/clothes get that unpleasant odour, and it seems impossible to get rid of it and not to use parfumed detergents to mask it- Rocking Green is an answer. The brand also has ammonia bouncer. Approved on stinky diapers, towels, and sport clothing. I had to wait for discount times as it is pricey. Also, make sure you pick right type for your water type.

Cleans my son’s cloth diapers well and smells nice. Causes no skin irritation.

Lo llevo utilizando unas semanas y de momento muy contenta para los pañales reutilizables. Los deja blancos y sin olor. Además gastas poca cantidad, yo pongo medio cazo por lavado.

This stuff works great and leaves a gentle scent if none on the clothes. No chemicals and works better than leading brands!

I live in Montreal and I didn't know before washing cloth diapers but I have hard water where I live. This product is really good and my diapers are always clean. I love that there is no harsh chemical in it also. The smell is pleasant and subtile after cleaning.
