It looks like regular detergent, but it's Rockin' Green Soap and it is rockin'.
I've been on twitter for a while now, and I found a huge cloth diapering community on there. I'm so glad I did, because if I hadn't, I would have never met the folks at Rockin' Green Soap. I watched for a couple of month as more and more cloth diapering moms commented on how great it was. I must admit, I was a little skeptical. I was thinking, "What's so great?! It's JUST detergent." Little did I know that I would soon be proved wrong in that assumption.
I decided to go ahead and order a few samples to see what all the hype was about. Let me just say, when I went to the Rockin' Green website, I was AMAZED at all of the awesome scents that they offered (including unscented)! I was also REALLY happy that they have a "soft rock" formula for sensitive skin. I didn't know which one I wanted to try first! I went through the list and decided on a couple of different scents and went to check out. I ordered the soft rock formula since MJ, and my husband, both have sensitive skin (and I was going to try the detergent out on our clothes too). So now I wait.
The samples came in about 5 days, and I knew that they were here when I got next to the mailbox. My whole mailbox smelled DELICIOUS! I bet the mailperson was happy to have something smell so great in their car that day! I was so excited to get back to the house because that day just happened to be one of our diaper washing days! (YES!) So I started the wash cycle and the whole house started smelling sweet. I was happy so far. When our diapers were finished washing and drying, I was so excited to see how they did. I noted a few things. 1. Our diapers felt so incredibly soft. 2. Our diapers smelled really good. 3. Our BGs didn't have "that" smell anymore. WITH ONLY ONE WASH! I was so surprised. Going through my head at that point, "If this detergent doesn't break my sensitive-skined child out, this stuff is out new permenant detergent." I wanted to use all of the diapers on Molly before I said, "Okay, it doesn't break her out." I did, and not one single reaction. Not ONE. I am thrilled!
So, let me point out a few things... Rockin' Green is cloth diaper safe. It has no fillers, no dyes, no perfumes, no brightners, it's HE safe, it's vegan and it's AFFORDABLE! They make two different formulas. One is called "Classic Rock" and the other is "Soft Rock" for sensitive skin. This last note is for all of my TMP girlfriends who cloth diaper and have complained (along with me) about our BGs smelling... Our BGs don't smell like that anymore! With just one wash, I noticed an improvement. Now that they've been washed twice, it is almost completely GONE! The only thing that would make this detergent any better would be to have our diapers smelling just as super sweet as they did while they were washing, once they're finished drying. The scent is still there, a little, just not as strong. (Which could be an extra selling point for some of you CD'ing mommies!) :)
Also, Rockin' Green Soap is on the Bummis list of safe Cloth Diaper detergents!
