Ethan's Days of Giveaways: Rockin' Green Soap CLOSED

It's been no secret how much I love Rockin' Green Soap. I started off my cloth diapering journey with Braden when he was 1 month old and I thought I would be "economical" and just buy scent free detergent from the grocery store. Well, that plan didn't last long, and I'll tell you why shortly. I'll be honest, at first I was very skeptical to be paying approximately $20 for a bag of detergent that was made specifically for cloth diapers, like Rockin' Green is. I thought as long as I wasn't using fabric softeners and that if my soap was dye-free like they all say to use on your cloth products, I'd be laughing! But then came the build up. If any of you mamas out there cloth diaper, you know exactly what I'm talking about. When soap & mineral build up happens in cloth diapers, it gets ugly and causes a multitude of problems such as leaking and STINK!

Enter...Rockin' Green Soap! I decided there would be no harm in trying a bag to see if it was really all it was cracked up to be on the reviews I had read. The verdict? YES! It is worth every penny and then some. It is true, as they fully state, that it may take awhile to get rid of the old detergent and fully reap the benefits of Rockin Green, but their easy-to-read instructions right on the bag make it SO simple.

I've never washed newborn cloth before so I was really excited to get using my Rockin' Green again when Ethan was born. My opinion is the same, if not better than before. No stains, no stink, no problem! It even got out the last little bit of meconium poop Ethan had when he got home! I usually use pocket diapers, but with Ethan I also use all-in-ones and it works amazing all them too, of course.

How To Use For Day to Day Washings

1. Savor the smell of your Rockin' Green detergent. Ah...yummy...
2. Dump your diapers inot the washer and do a rinse/wash to get the nasties out prior to the wash cycle. (if regular clothing, skip this step).
3. Add the detergent and do a wash cycle. Use 1-3 tbsp per load (those with soft water or HE machines may need less detergent to get their clothing clean, so adjust accordingly!)
4. Double rinse.

How to Rock a Soak - Getting rid of built up minerals and leftover detergent

1.  Fill your washer with water and 3 tbsp (may need less for soft water/HE machines) of Rockin' Green along with your diapers or clothing.
2. Let soak for approximately 30-60 minutes, then launder as usual, skipping the soap.
3. Tip: Repeat this process any tiem you need a good deep cleaning. If you have excessive buildup or residue, it may take a few soaks to get them in good condition. Those with hard water may find a quick soak before every wash helpful.

If you're like me, you may be thinking it's REALLY hard to soak diapers in an HE washer. One of my personal tips? Fill your BATHTUB (or even better - jet tub!) with hot water, 2-3 tbsp of Rockin' Green and soak in there! It can be a bit messy and troublesome to cart a load of wet diapers to the washing machine to finish the job, but it works wonderfully!
