Homemade detergent

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   So I have been reading a few articles and blogs lately about making my own cleaning products.  I really want to try the homemade laundry detergent -- but is it cloth diaper friendly?  I think the washing soda and Borax part might be ok but what about the Naptha soap.  Or is there a homemade recipe that is cloth diaper friendly and effective.  Little man has very sensitive skin and I feel like the Tide Free and Clear isn't working like I thought it was.....

Thanks for any help :o)

	The Fels Naptha isn't cd safe. I use a homemade soap for my regular laundry and love it but haven't been able to find a recipe I like for cd. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. I will be watching this thread though. Hopefully someone can help.

	I sort of figured the Fels Naptha would coat the diaper fibers and cause repelling......I hope someone has a nifty idea! :)
